I am heaven sent
Don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted
What all the other boys all promised
Sorry I told
I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold
We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out
I wish I knew
I hope this song starts a craze
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
With whoever they're there with
This is war
Every line is about who I don't wanna write about anymore
I hope you come down with something they can't diagnose
Don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
And keeping quiet is hard
Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't want to get caught
We're consentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
Now throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We admit to the truth we are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds
Handsome and smart
Ooh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching T.V.
And from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh, it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
We're consentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
Now throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
We're consentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
Now throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe in us
This is the grace only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the bend
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone
This is the rise and the fall
We're consentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
Now throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
We're consentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
Now throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe in us

Jesse Lacey has a big ego. Which is why he is so great, y'know? :) This song is great.

Jesse Lacey is one of the most humble musicians I know and this song is a great example of how he uses sarcasm in his lyrics. A lot of people can relate to this song, even though it may be under the table. It's awesome.

Jesse has such a suddle tone and such a calm voice but his lyrics are so deep and can put anyone out. You cant help but appreciate..them. ...but I am too weak to be your cure. his ego is not that big.

I never did say that it was too big. Haven't you noticed how his personality tends to change for different songs? Like, he adores himself here. Then, in Guernica, he... does whatever sad thing you want to put that line under. lmfao I run out of space HERE

You can talk all this shit yet you are the fuck that spend god only knows how long leaving a comment on EVERY SINGLE song of a band you hate. To me that just drips, "I'm a loser who's only friend is a glowing computer screen." I don't even have time to comment HALF the songs I do like let alone all the song I dont'. People like what they like and if you can't deal with it shut the fuck up and stop listen to music you don't like you ignorant dick!

He's 25, he lives in a trailer with his parents, and listens to ICP whilst cutting himself cuz he feel's their "strong" lyrics so well. He's white trash, don't stoop to his level.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't ICP rated the worst band in the world?

i like ICP and i like Brand new. Please accept my apology for that guy, he obviously likes brand new. He has left a comment on just about every song of there's. I assure you that not all psychopathic record fans act that way. Honestly ICP is a lot deeper than their "silly, immature" facade. Even if you don't like it read the intro and outro to the wraith: shangi la.

Anyway i don't really know why ICP is being discussed in the Brand New forum but this is a very good song and if you haven't yet, buy the new cd it is amazing.

This song is by far my favorite on this CD. From the transition from the 3rd song to mellowness to built up powerful emotion, this song just struck a nerve with me.

I've never been one for emo bands (being a metalhead) but i actually love this song. I like the sort of grunge like intro alot and when the tune kicks in it just gets better! I see why these guys are #1.
