Untitled 1
by Brand New
"Well I wrote your name
And burned it
To see the colours of the flame
And it burned out the whole spectrum
As if you were everything
Mine just burned gold
The normal flame
I am not anything
And all I remember
Is the feeling of waking up
We were kids
You were the sun
To which my eyes would not adjust
We were kids
I was a fountain
You could never drink enough
Then came all the boys
Who swept you up
Playing careless with your heart
Every night there was a new girl
Sitting beside me in my car
Something dies when you grow older
But you do the best you can
I am glad
I am glad you found a good man."

A friend of mine covered this ages ago and just recently I came across his cover and absolutely fell in love with the song. The lyrics are desperately sad but incredibly beautiful. They make me very very weepy. This is actually one of the few songs that I think require for all the lyrics to be posted.
Stunning.
Stunning.
