Now, when Guitarasaurus made this song one of his first write ups (meaning it was one of his last ranked songs) I was in shock. Now, maybe when I made my list I put this song a little high out of spite. Nevertheless, this song is brilliant. When I was a freshman in high school, every time you went through a girl's AIM buddy profile, the words It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone were found everywhere. This song was an anthem to my school. It's for the broken hearted kids who think that they have found love. The person who is receiving the love does not feel the same way towards the person giving the love. Perfect for those lost high schoolers, eh?
This song is kind of dark. Especially so because it's on YFW. This song has a more Deja feel, though it still does make me think of high school. It's deeper and more serious than anything else on YFW. These lyrics sound like they are coming from the bottom of Jesse Lacey's heart. This beautiful girl is blowing him off, not caring that he loves her. It starts off with a coy guitar introducing Jesse's voice. So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now. And me fresh out of rope. Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this. Awww! Jesse referring to rope meaning [clearly] he wants to be hanged for feeling this horrible. He asks to please ignore his lisp, meaning to ignore him sounding like he was just crying. So take me and break me. Make me strong like you. I'll be forever grateful to this and you. This, to me, sounds like a more depressing version of Magazines. It's the same gist when you think about it, but way more deep. Actually, all Brand New songs have that depressing twang about break ups. All besides Handcuffs, but Vinnie Accardi did the lyrics for that one. Leave the depressing songs to Jesse.
How could I miscalculate perfect eyes will have perfect aim? If I can choose, it's only you. Someone call a doctor. This girl has shot Jesse Lacey right through the heart. Around this time, the song starts to get incoherent. There are lots of sentences not completed then overlapped with other words. I find it confusing. The lyrics I found from azlyrics.com are “We're wrecking” and I'm dry like a drum...when you scream so fine I'll leave... we're spent... we've got time and trials... measured in miles... we slave for days (and weeks). Whatever that means. Without this part and a pretty much repeated generic ending, this song could have ranked much higher. I think that within a song, the ending should be big so you have something to remember when the song ends. This ending is kind of a slap in the face. You think you're going to get something big and then it's over. Tsk tsk.
Best quote(s): I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me. I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised. Do you understand? Great visualization. Jesse's life without this girl is like a plane crash. Even if she only uses him for perhaps money or sex, he doesn't care. Any way to see her or just to be with her would be fine with him. At some point in everybody's lives, I would think, they have all felt this way. Just to be with this girl for five minutes is enough, even if they don't say a word. Being in her presence is enough.
