We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nurse the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lover's tryst
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows

Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Then today's the day we drop down
Give up my body in bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals

I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then you like to do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed,
the parents let them shoulder all the blame

Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop down
Give up my body in bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals

I lie for only you
And I lie well
Halleluh

Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop down
Give up my body in bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals

I was in high school, had a class with this kid Corey Siebert. Him and some others from school had a band. They used to cover this song during the talent shows and the friday concerts at school. Than he came down with leukemia while we were still in school. Eventually it got the best of him and he passed before we graduated. Super cool, nice and outgoing dude. They always say the good die young. Damn was that true. Now everytime I hear this it reminds me of him. R.I.P. Corey, your still missed buddy.

This song takes me to 99 when my brother died. I know this was a few years later but it means the same.

WOW just burst into tears upon hearing, "and though our kids are blessed, the parents let them shoulder all the blame." I first heard this song in like 2004 and became a huge fan of brand new. I related to a lot of their content as years went by and their styles changed. but that one line I just mentioned at the beginning of this comment, well I never knew what it meant. now it relates to me even if for a diff reason than the writer intended. my parents held many secrets of their past from me and my 2 siblings. we are all in our 30s now. only in the past handful of years have us "kids" been able to unravel so much of our true foundation, and it's been mind-boggling and depressing. and realizing how much we were impacted as kids, without even knowing why we felt the way we did. or why our parents had the type of relationship they did, which was not a very intimate one. our parents love us completely but we took the brunt of those secrets that they were too ashamed to share with us. so in effect, though we were blessed with their love, we shouldered the blame for their issues. so now when I heard that line, suddenly I understand it for my own life, and it really hits me. I thought I'd pretty much exhausted every meaning I could from brand new's lyrics at this point in my life. but now there's that new meaning and it's affecting me. thanks brand new for all you do. I usually don't play these songs anymore, because I've listened to them so much already, but decided to click on this today and I'm glad I did. thanks for helping me feel less alone in this situation that I'm sure many other people endure as well.

My emo phase activated when I was going through some rough times and songs like this one really made sense to me because I wasn’t vocal about how I felt instead I listened to emo songs🖤 🤟

Hated the emo scene in high school. But had to love these guys.

This song has always been one of my favorites but after looking up the meaning behind the lyrics it is now the definitive favorite. So good

I heard this song first in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 and immediately got HOOKED! I'm actually playing the game right now! You think after 16 years you'd get sick of hearing the same songs and playing the same games but no. I was 14 when this came out and kicked off my love for Rock pretty much.

Headphones, sadness, and sending these lyrics to an unrequited love interest.

Feel a weird gratitude for a simpler time.
Luckily I found the love, the family, and the belonging. It was there all along.

This song and other songs of its genre will be the songs for everyone in their late 20s and early 30s remember as the songs that shaped them. We will listen to these songs until we wither.

pskfry haha right? Then you move out and realize that if you don’t go to work everyday you can’t eat or sleep in a bed. Also your clothes aren’t magically clean or hung up anymore and Mom and Dad aren’t There when you miss them.

There was a kid in middle school that used to hit me who one day came up to me and told me he wanted me to see something. He took me to a closet down the hall and took out an ipod and we started listening to this song. I don't know why, but it makes me laugh when I remember it. He probably considered our relationship to be something special, lol. However, this ended up being one of my favorite bands even though I was never a fan of the emo bands, but this one was something else.

Every day for lunch I lived across the street from my High School. I would come in, turn the tube on Fuse and this song would play at the exact same time every day. I would blast it, sing along and cry into my hot pockets.
