Brand New - Could Never Be Heaven Lyrics






Do you know the words that make the hidden door open?
Can you speak my secret name and fix me?
I have no heart, I have no brain
Lord I have no courage
Can you get me home again?

Could never be heaven without you
Could never be heaven without you
Never be heaven without you

I was drowning in the lake, damned
Over a dead mining town
The cars and the homes lay still in the water
The deeper I sank, the less I died
The trees swayed, slow in the tide
There were people I love below me singing

And all of the songs were about you
And all of the songs were about you
And all of the songs were about you

The whale is well-rehearsed
Swimming circles in the church
A cardinalfish says, "God is dead"
The whale says, "Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head"

You are not alone
We are not separate
My daughter's shoulders are my shoulders
My son's hands my hands
My wife's heart my own heart
I've heard the outer darkness is really nice this time of year

Could never be heaven without you
Never be heaven without you
Never be heaven without
Could never be heaven without you
Never be heaven without you
Never be heaven without you

(You've got so many things that you do believe you've been conditioned to believe in...
And then if you try and break away from your conditioning and try and be sort of individual and, in least in our day and age right now, you start to think, 'Well, am I really doing this because I really want to be different? Am I doing it because there's such an emphasis placed to...'
I miss you
You don't know how to break through this contradictory mess... and really find your own... authentic individuality)

  3. Z.... J....

    Yea JL is right there with Connor, Kevin, Noah, Dallas, and Ryan great song writers that will pass time and space

  4. I.... R....

    This track makes me think that while BN is over (yet living on forever in the hearts of us the fans) we haven't heard the last of Jesse Lacey. He's not done writing songs. They just won't be Brand New songs...

  5. y.... ....

    12/8 time signature.. Medieval feel to this.. is Jesse some sort of reincarnation of some lost soul from 1650? The 21st century's JS Bach Brand New Kids dont do drugs OK

    y.... ....

    very possible for it is written we are in the resurrection of Christ and his Army

    Do you know the words that make the hidden door open?
    Can you speak my secret name and fix me?
    I have no heart, I have no brain
    Lord I have no courage
    Can you get me home again?

    Could never be heaven without you
    Could never be heaven without you
    Never be heaven without you

    I was drowning in the lake, damned
    Over a dead mining town
    The cars and the homes lay still in the water
    The deeper I sank, the less I died
    The trees swayed, slow in the tide
    There were people I love below me singing

    And all of the songs were about you
    And all of the songs were about you
    And all of the songs were about you

    The whale is well-rehearsed
    Swimming circles in the church
    A Cardinalfish says, "God is dead"
    The whale says, "Get out of my head
    Get out of my head
    Get out of my head"

    You are not alone
    We are not separate
    My daughter’s shoulders are my shoulders
    My son's hands my hands
    My wife’s heart my own heart
    I’ve heard the outer darkness is really nice this time of year

    Could never be heaven without you
    Never be heaven without you
    Never be heaven without
    Could never be heaven without you
    Never be heaven without you
    Never be heaven without you

    You've got so many things that you do believe you've been conditioned to believe in

    Mmhmm

    And then if you try and break away from your conditioning and try and be sort of individual and, in least in our day and age right now, you start to think, "Well, am I really doing this because I really want to be different? Am I doing it because there's such an emphasis placed to..."

    sss you

    I don't know how to break through this contradictory mess and really find your own authentic individuality

  7. M.... ....

    The melody to this song is amazing, and Brand New always has some of the best lyrics.

  8. E.... C....

    I'm going to cry if I can't get tickets for ATL

  9. R.... L....

    I think this is my favorite song ever..... Music needs this sort of poetry more often than whenever Brand New decides to put an album out.

  10. O.... O....

    This one is my favourite, Babs

  11. S.... S....

    Totally worth the wait!!

  12. A.... w....

    Such a killer album and a killer track

  13. D.... S....

    My entire body has goosebumps

  14. F.... S....

    fuck yea! Good tune, I listened to this album x2.5 today on a long drive. I love this album.. Freedom is the open road, Brand New on the stereo and a freshly lit cigarette.

  15. 5.... ....

    Morrissey vibes

    5.... ....

    exactly what I was thinking.

    5.... ....

    17th century troubadour vibes rather than Mozza for me , in all honesty . Rock music in 12/8? holy shit

  16. a.... ....

    great fucking track
