    Lyrics:
    Speak dumb like every other one
    Don't want to let you down
    I'd rather let you fall apart
    And so you back off
    A bit less obvious
    Oh you forgot I called
    Don't take it personal personal honey
    I know you've just been busy or
    You need to be alone
    Well you can call me when you're bored
    I'll sing a song low
    Over the telephone
    In lower decibels
    so you can hear it and hear it and hear it and hear it
    And lost it though
    You've lost that privilege
    With a hundred more
    Hold his hand now
    Out on the mission field
    Your hearts compatible
    Mine breaks alone alone alone
    Your new boyfriend
    You got your new boyfriend
    You got your new boyfriend
    You got your new boyfriend
    I bet he likes you more than he likes me cause
    I'm the former one
    He's the latter one
    He'd never say it but it's right
    I'm sorry that was rude of me
    Forget I said a thing
    But don't forget it when you're starring at him
    Say something you mean
    Don't be polite
    Kiss, kill nothing in between
    I can't sit still, sit still
    Get canceled, can't sit still
    Not when you got, you got, you got
    Your new boyfriend
    You got your new boyfriend
    You got your new boyfriend
    You got your new boyfriend
    I bet he likes you more than he likes me cause
    I'm the former
    He's the latter one
    He'd never say it but it's right
    Passed on up and over
    Said she did
    Said she didn't come on
    Pass me up
    Let me go
    Throw away
    Let me go
    Oh it's ok not to be the same
    Be the same
    You've got him, oh
    You've got him, oh

      actually, you may have a band like this in your own area!
      that's how i got to talk, meet, and know this band in the first place. they were on facebook, my friend spoke to them and we got into the venue for free simply because they just wanted anyone to listen to them. super humble people, super awesome music, and a totally unforgettable experience.
      never forget: even if you didn't get to see this particular band, always listen for the sound of good tunes!

    It pisses me off that no one I know likes these guys. I show them to all my friends and they say they’re just okay. Like goddamn if I met a girl that’s into these guys you guys better be ready for my wedding

    I know it's late, but -- "Cross out a page of names that won't save, sustain (some stain?), I can't write them, they both mean the same thing." It's something along those lines.

    the stupidity of people never ceases to disgust me: a kickass band like this should deserve more attention.

    I wasn't really planning on buying any of this Warped Tour pack for Rock Band because I don't like Thrice or The Devil Wears Prada but this song is awesome.
