Limousine
Brand New Lyrics

Hey, it's your ride
You're about to go on a journey.

Get your petals out and lay them in the aisle
Prepare for the occasion at hand, it's time to create a path.

Pretend you're a garden girl and it's your day to wed
Pretend it's your special day and you're about to get married.

We found your man
We've located your loved one.

He's drinking up, he's all-American
He's an all-American guy who's enjoying a few drinks.

And he'll drive
He'll be responsible for getting you to your destination.

He's volunteered with grace to end your life
Unfortunately, he's also responsible for a terrible tragedy that will end your life.

We'll tidy up
We'll take care of the aftermath.

It's sad to hope, leave your shell to us
It's hard to have hope, but we'll handle the situation for you.

You explode
Your life comes to a violent end.

You firefly, you tiny boat
You were once a glowing presence, now gone like a ship lost at sea.

With all feather on
Despite your fragile beauty, you're no match for the harshness of life.

The world tilts back and pours and pours and so
Life goes on, even in the face of tragedy and hardship.

You satellite
In the end, you were just a small player in the grand scheme of things.

You tidal wave, you're a big surprise
Your sudden and tragic end is a shock to those who knew you.

And I've one more night
I have one more night to be with you before it all ends.

To be your mother
To take care of you and protect you, even though I couldn't prevent this tragedy.

The signal interrupts a baby's frequency's
Life can be interrupted at any moment, even for the innocent and helpless.

Not strong enough remains
In the face of such tragedy, all that's left is to mourn.

My hands are tied, we will miss you
I'm powerless to stop what's happening, and we'll miss you dearly.

But in time you'll get settled and we will ride
Eventually, life will go on and others will have their chance to ride through it.

So green, yeah, you were right about me
I was naive and inexperienced, as represented by being 'green'.

But can I get myself out from underneath
Can I escape the guilt and pain that's weighing me down?

This guilt that'll crush me and in the quiet
The guilt and pain is overwhelming, and it's hard to escape it in moments of quiet reflection.

I saw our sad messiah, he was bored and tired of my laments
Even a higher power is bored and tired of my endless worrisome and regretful thoughts.

Said, 'I died for you one time, but never again'
Even if there's a higher power who cares, they will not intervene in such tragedies.

Well, I love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
I love you too much to risk hearing a reply from you.

No, ?cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
I can handle inflicting pain, but can't handle being hurt myself.

One will love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
So many people love you that it would be overwhelming to hear from them all.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
They, like me, can handle hurting others but not being hurt themselves.

Two will love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
Even more people will love you and want to reach out, but it's too much to bear.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
Their love is appreciated but simultaneously too painful to handle.

Three will love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
The overwhelming love and support have become burdensome.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
It's easier to incite strong emotions in others than to deal with them oneself.

Four will love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
The requests to not respond keep piling up, but it's necessary for everyone's wellbeing.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
It's easier to be in control and inflict pain than to process the pain inflicted upon oneself.

Five will love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
Even more people care about you and want to provide support, but it's too much to handle.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
The love and support are appreciated but also a reminder of the tragedy and loss.

Six will love you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
The love and support have become a burden and a reminder of what's been lost.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
It's easier to be in control and push people away than to handle the emotions and pain they bring.

Seven loves you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
Even in the face of loss and tragedy, love persists and remains strong.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
It's easier to push away love than to handle the pain it brings.

Seven loves you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
Love endures even when we can't handle it, but it's still too much to respond to.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
It's easier to be in control and push people away than to handle the pain and overwhelming emotions.

Seven loves you so much but do me a favor, baby, don't reply
Love remains strong in the face of tragedy, but the sorrow is too much to bear a response.

'Cause I can dish it out but I can't take it
The love and support are appreciated but also a painful reminder of what's been lost.
