Brand New - I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light Lyrics
The time has come for colds and overcoats.
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home.
Another week away, my greatest fear.
I need the smell of summer,
If looks could really kill,
then my profession would be staring.
Please know we do this cause we care
and not for the thrill.
Collect calls to home
to tell them that I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die
and die alone.
And we won't let you in.
No we won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
I wrote more postcards than hooks.
I read more maps than books.
Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should have took.
Every minute is a mile.
I've never felt so hollow.
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
and empty aisles.
My secrets for a buck.
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
on this stage. Yes, I am paid
to spill my guts. I won't see home till spring.
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
And the coastline is quiet.
While we're quietly losing control.
And we're silent but sure
we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.
"The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered.
The water is red."
Like you, like you.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.

Gasmaaaaaask
Black widows create wolves
I'm not to pick favorites but this has got to be at least one of my top songs on this album.
Okay but this and Never Shout Never on the bright side
The time has come for colds, and overcoats
We're quiet on the ride, we're all just waiting to get home
Another week away, my greatest fear
I need the smell of summer, I need its noises in my ears
If looks could really kill, then my profession would staring

"The harpoon is loaded

_that one song you thought you're gonna listen to for the first time, then it plays and you realize you've already heard it somewhere, somehow, from a long time ago_
here in 2019. I havent heard this song in over ten years and i still remember all the lyrics like im still in high school and being 16.
@Janeway What the fuck is this?
@Seb Web10 I know Janeway personally. We love each other.
this music reminds me of "on the brightside"
Guelph days never forget
******I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die
and die alone.
I die alone.
Die young and save yourself... 0:01
How did they make this song? Magic
My mother introduced me to Brand New... I'm now obsessed.
Welcome.
Curious, how old are you? I guess if I had kids when this album came out, they'd be old enough to enjoy this.
it's ok to smirk im 15.
Wish my 14 year old would listen to this album. I'm 31. Cool kid
i realize that everyone who lives will someday die and die alone
THE TIME HAS COME FOR COLDS AND OVERCOATS
Suuuuuuuper song. Love the guitar break, harmonies, lyrics, attitude.
Go get high with him and or her.you be the judge.right some tweekers are so desperate theyll adapt to anything or anyone cuz the drugs so good? Kinda what im sensing here.
memories from 2009-2012
Archers of Loaf
youre no more more mormon though your more mormon
this song is dope!!
👉🏾👈🏾
lol I love this
low key one of brand new's best songs
Sam what are some others that are good?
All of them
My favorite thing to do in life is to get a little buzzed and listen to Brand New, and Im 30.
David Z man I hope you’re doing better now and are still here with us. If you need someone to talk to message me
Ain’t nothing wrong with that brother, take care and take it easy
Coming back to this comment. I jam seventy time seven every damn day. And flying at tree level. My favorite.
@Fuzzy Nova Thank you for introducing me to Flying at Tree level. Truly thought I had heard every last Brand New song.. Happy to be wrong. Defined my Highschool years.
@leads8 it never gets old. It's my ring tone
I will never skip this song on Pandora.
This song was fucking phenomenal live.
This is definitely one of my favorite songs by them.
I've always found it difficult to do other things while listening to Brand New. I just want to hear every syllable.
This song is so good
I feel this 100%
Yup always true
this is honestly one of my all time favorite songs, the lyrics are so incredible
It kind of sounds like "On The Brightside" by NeverShoutNever.
I've always thought that Christopher drew ripped off this song lol
This song came out first
fuckin never shout never sucks.
Dude No
It's crazy you say this cuz I noticed it a couple years ago and was telling my bf about it just now and I played him both of these songs and just saw your comment. Random af
Si tan solo las miradas pudieran matar...
their best song ever
I get weird looks singing this in my car
actually, it should be "Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should have taken"
Hahaha, I've had this same thought for a while.
It sounds like took on purpose. It's like a choice. Do you stay or go? It's really something that applies to every situation.
rhymes with hooks and books.
Pure poetry!
I am banned
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic! (Been too long BN)
I also seem to suffer a certain amount of panic when jesse lacey sings.... i would molest that mans brains all day.
@Danton Steele No he's not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butthole_Surfers#Band_members
He played in Taking Back Sunday for a short while... a friend and I had this discussion. I was kinda sad. lol
Yeah he was buddies with John Nolan, I think they went to high school together and I think he had a falling with Adam Lazzara or something.
@***** theres that one song where tbs is on the roof in one of their videos
And like thats like one of the only songs i ever heard that i kinda liked
But like brandnew alot better
he stole adam lazzaraza gf that's pretty much what tell all your friends and my favorite weapon are all about theres no i in team was done by tbs and brand news response was seventy times 7
2:34 straight gold. Vocals and guitar are always good with these guys, this song especially
truly one of their better songs <3 definitely one of my favorites.
makes me feel great
I met a man of two feet tall ♪♫♪
@Swingy Music Yeah, no shit, cause he fucking stole it.
Dammit Christofer Drew
please,stop -_-
Javier Ahumada nice profile pic
Javier Ahumada whys your name javier
its been so long!
Why won't they let you in?
i know its mean
They don't bottom xD
Cuz he gay
Nah they let me in, its YOU they wont let in.
She was underage lol
Yes Jesse, you very much do make me panic when you sing.
This didn't age well.
Michelle Maxwell lmaaooooo
@Michelle Maxwell 😂😂 greatest reply ever
@exodus K xD
Is it correct "...another chance I should have TOOK"???? It wouldn't be TAKEN instead???
@Damen Adams
Lol yeah. Some other advocates being Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria and Blink-182's Tom DeLonge. "ON THE WRONG WAY OOOOUUT ON THE COURSEWAY TO NEVERWHEEEREREIERERRRA5723987IREEERE"-- Claudio on Three Evils xD
@KYUBIMATIAS
the fuck are you talking about.
@Damen Adams
The "licence" part refers to, in the past, being able to write properly and proving you know the rules. Then you can break the rules and people will assume it was intentional. So the "licence" refers more to your reputation as a writer. "I wrote this so i can do what i want with it" is a fact of life which has nothing to do with how good of a writer you are
+waporitozito it's not correct, but "taken" is two syllables so it doesn't fit the verse.
Maybe he means stolen. Took, past tense.
To me Brand New and Christofer Drew aren't comparable. I don't call that influence... taking someone else's music and slightly changing it isn't influence. And Idk a single person who listens to any Brand New album then thinks about listening CD because CD, Never Shout Never, and every other project he has does is mass produced crap. Brand New is better in every way ever. That's all I have to say.
Its not in his head. its the same progression. Brand new wrote it several years earlier. i wouldn't be surprised if Christofer drew (no pun intended) inspiration from Brand New.
Yeah that is definitely all in your head, not even close to comparable. Everything from Christofer Drew is talentless garbage while Brand new is legendary.
what is this 2004?
Lol I wish!
Its 2019 dood
best song. got me through the darkest days of my life
Some of these lyrics are wrong
My mom is better than your dad, whatup
yeah but my dad is better than your dad, thats whatup
My dad is better than your dad. whatup
cool...
I think the better question is......What won't they let ewan do?
I like NeverShoutNever and Brand New
._. It's been years..
What is with you guys hating on other bands? FFS I don't like some bands but i'm not gonna talk shit about them just because they aren't this band. Like a my dad's better than your dad contest.
Lol, there is nothing wrong with NSN using a similar guitar tune for his song "On The Brightside", I was just pointing it out, no need to get all buttmad about it :D
i think everyone in the world noticed this. but, this song was made before "On the Brightside," so I think it's say to say Christofer Drew is a lying, stealing asshole
Never gets old.
NEVER.
ive been playing for almost 5. i dunno how wto strum it
have you learned? get tabs if you still havent lol. i know its a 5 year old comment, but my point still stands.
pretty easy song tbh
Love this band so much, I loved it at 13 now at 21 I understand it more then ever.
'If looks could really kill then my profession would be staring. Know we do this 'cause we care not for the thrill'. Lyrically, Brand New are always so good.
trying to learn this on guitar.. damn chords
Sick of youtube's 'games' trying to group me into something... I'm 100% positive (for you idiots) that NSN has been influenced and is (poorly) copying Brand New and Taking Back Sunday, so please stop trying to compare a wannabe to the real deal.
whos nsn
Brand New is just pure genius.
we don't want what isn't ours
Brand New is one of the best bands EVER period
Lol a tad? Same chord progression and same melody minus one note at the end of the vocal melody and of course the chorus is dif but still. Cmon. This isn't just similar, it's pretty much the same song xD ahhaha
This song has been ripping my soul out for a couple of weeks now. So emotional. Can't stop...!!
Say Voldemort all you want, but please, please, please don't say NeverShou — You-Know-Who.
The two do sound a tad familiar at some parts; it's not just you. :p
God, I want to meet this man. <3
No senior :3
but i don't get the hate towards Never Shout
They have mellow songs so i can see why people who like the scream might not like it
but on the brightside is always a good song to bee cheered up by:]
lol why thank you :)
lol yeah and I still don't think she got that
This is my favorite album of all time.
Im Julian, and I hate you guys in the comments.
Julian doesn't like you guys.
why............
Nick Santino sang this music and now I'm freaking addicted! God, this music is perfect!
It's 4/20...
Me, apparently. I dunno, I always liked classifying things. But no matter which genre Brand New's albums fall into, they're almost always going to be brilliant.
Who cares about genres?
Why won't they let Hugh in? =/
Your Favorite Weapon: Pop Punk
Deja Entendu: Emo
The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me: Halfway between Progressive Rock and Post-Hardcore
Daisy: Alternative
Have you heard vices lmao😂
Need the smell of summer, this band makes me want summer so bad! love em
If this were a pancake...... It would be a good pancake.
@FourtyFourAirwaves44 And that song came out in 2009...
