Brand New - Seventy Times 7 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart
For twelve years I've held it all together
But a night like this is begging to pull me apart

I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would
And now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could

[Hook]
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to

As if this happening wasn't enough I got to go
And write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, the cover's over my head
I wrote a message on my pillow that says, "Jesse, stay asleep in bed."
So don't apologize. I hope you choke and die
Search your cell for something with which to hang yourself
They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell

[Hook]
And everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you, let me down again)

[Chorus]
So, is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish
I've seen more guts in 11-year-old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
And again when your head goes through the windshield

And is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call, and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?
Well tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
When you say best friends means friends forever

[Chorus]

[Hook x2]
