The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

We saw the western coast.
I saw the hospital.
Nurse the shoreline like a wound.
We paint a lover’s tryst.
We’re 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.
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.

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows ~ Brand New
Such a simple begining and lick. But such deep lyrics and amazing melodies. This song starts soft and then smashes through the walls of life into your unconscious. I can’t really relate to this song, but the driving beat and lyrics are just addicting. The slow soft brigde in the middle makes me feel like the world all of a sudden has slowed down and is moving at half-speed. You can see clearly and watch someone breath. And of course they mix everything together at the end for a layered effect.
