All I hear is people getting bored, annoyed or angry at the fact that a band grows and changes with the times and maturity of themselves. Personally, I love this song. Music doesn't have to be so detail oriented at all times and a simple, catchy chorus can do wonders on it's own. Can't wait to see you guys with the Used in April!
LYRICS It takes so long You're going forward looking back A body like a welcome mat You never even stood a chance (On your own) A body like a welcome mat (On your own) Going forward looking back (Now you're looking back) You never even stood a chance You don't wanna know You don't wanna know You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Cause it's that same dark place Where you'll get torn apart (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance On your own On your own (Hot damn tell me that don't feel good) It takes so long You're never one for looking back A body like a punching bag You never even stood a chance You don't wanna know (Body like a punching bag) You don't wanna know (You're never one for looking back) You never even stood a chance (Took a chance) On your own You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Cause it's that same dark place Where you'll get torn apart (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You don't wanna know Fat and happy straight to hell (Woo oou hoo) In a body like a prison cell (Woo oou hoo) Fat and happy straight to hell In a body like a prison cell Straight to hell You know you never stood a chance You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Cause it's that same dark place Where you'll get torn apart (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Yeah in that same dark place I will tear you apart You know you never stood a chance (You know you never stood a chance) On your own I'm gonna tear you apart
I like how everyone is saying TBS is "appealing to the masses" and the song is too "radio friendly and poppy" ... For one, their album is entitled HAPPINESS IS. They're making music that makes them happy as musicians so to have a fun song on their album makes perfect sense. Second, have you listened to fm radio lately? All they play is edm and indiepop/folk. And lastly, this blows every single from their last two albums out of the water!!! TBS IS BACKKKK
Honestly, these two songs have elements from all their albums, not just New Again and Self Titled. The Chorus to is song is super catchy and high like The Ballad of Sal, and their are many points where I think of Where You Want To Be also.
"Stood A Chance" It takes so long You're going forward looking back A body like a welcome mat You never even stood a chance (On your own) A body like a welcome mat (On your own) Going forward looking back (Now you're looking back) You never even stood a chance You don't wanna know You don't wanna know You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Cause it's that same dark place Where you'll get torn apart (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance On your own On your own (Hot damn tell me that don't feel good) It takes so long You're never one for looking back A body like a punching bag You never even stood a chance You don't wanna know (Body like a punching bag) You don't wanna know (You're never one for looking back) You never even stood a chance (Took a chance) On your own You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Cause it's that same dark place Where you'll get torn apart (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You don't wanna know Fat and happy straight to hell (Woo oou hoo) In a body like a prison cell (Woo oou hoo) Fat and happy straight to hell In a body like a prison cell Straight to hell You know you never stood a chance You feel so safe, safe, safe Being kept in the dark (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Cause it's that same dark place Where you'll get torn apart (You know you never stood a chance) You know you never stood a chance Yeah in that same dark place I will tear you apart You know you never stood a chance (You know you never stood a chance) On your own I'm gonna tear you apart
Heard this on Sirius XM Faction and thought this maybe from TAYF or WYWTB, but was shocked after I found out this was from their newest album. This is the TBS that I fell in love with back in 2005 when I first heard them. And after their WB years, it looks like this could hopefully be a return to glory days of the Victory era. Hearing this gives me hope that other groups like Brandnew might revisit their old glory days again in the future. This video reminds me of Cartel's Honestly, oh the nostalgia for 2004-2007.
I'm glad the positive comments outnumber the negative... They are doing what they love, LET THEM DO IT HOWEVER THEY WANT. I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to hear this on the radio, I'm dying to.
Honestly, this is going to be their best album since TAYF. The three songs released so far have all been good, but the key is that they're hitting different audiences and showing diversity in their music. I really like this album so far and TBS will be getting my money. They're back.
Adam Lazzara you absolute babe, never fail to make me laugh. His outfit is also very similar to the one he wears in the video for "This Photograph Is Proof". Agree with Tom as well, this has obvious elements of LN and WYWTB in it which is fantastic. Also that cat.
People always argue that a band's sound should progress with each album, but I think everyone secretly wants that old and familiar sound back. Anyways... great song!
Love it. I love everything they've done to date. Sure, it wasn't Tell All Your Friends or Where You Want To Be, but those were for that point in time. I can't pretend to know what was going on with TBS personally when they write each album, but they know how to reach me. Keep it up guys, if even just for me personally ;-) I'll love your music forever. TBS= All-time favorite band.
TBS are awesome in everything they do! they can literally do no wrong!!! there's not a song I don't like! I love love love them! favourite band of all time! Don't like them then don't listen to them! it's that simple! at the end of the day everything they do drips in pure passion..something alot of bands lack these days!
I'm going to be a Taking Back Sunday fan by the time the album comes out, I can tell. Yay. Another band to spend way too much money on. (love the song btw)
you like them,because they are the original band. I was listening to 15 years ago. Not a carbon copy of a band that copied a band,that redefined screamo into a more pop sound.
Been listening to you guya sense day one even through the band member changes and I must say the new sound is an amazing way to start off 2014! Shout out from NC! Love you guys TBS ,thankx for great music. God bless.

Can't wait to see you guys with the Used in April!

I dedicate my life to this band.
LYRICS
It takes so long
You're going forward looking back
A body like a welcome mat
You never even stood a chance
(On your own)
A body like a welcome mat
(On your own)
Going forward looking back
(Now you're looking back)
You never even stood a chance
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark
(You know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Cause it's that same dark place
Where you'll get torn apart
(You know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
On your own
On your own
(Hot damn tell me that don't feel good)
It takes so long
You're never one for looking back
A body like a punching bag
You never even stood a chance
You don't wanna know
(Body like a punching bag)
You don't wanna know
(You're never one for looking back)
You never even stood a chance
(Took a chance)
On your own
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark
(You know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Cause it's that same dark place
Where you'll get torn apart
(You know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark
(You know you never stood a chance)
You don't wanna know
Fat and happy straight to hell
(Woo oou hoo)
In a body like a prison cell
(Woo oou hoo)
Fat and happy straight to hell
In a body like a prison cell
Straight to hell
You know you never stood a chance
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark
(You know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Cause it's that same dark place
Where you'll get torn apart
(You know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Yeah in that same dark place
I will tear you apart
You know you never stood a chance
(You know you never stood a chance)

and I especially couldn't stand Faith... terrible lyrics and just plain boring
I completely forgot about this song until it was just on my recommended. RUclips knew I needed this in my life again.
Honestly, these two songs have elements from all their albums, not just New Again and Self Titled. The Chorus to is song is super catchy and high like The Ballad of Sal, and their are many points where I think of Where You Want To Be also.
I'm so happy that John and Shaun are back, and knowing that their first single is really catchy made me happier even more!

One of my favorite TBS music videos! So much color and energy! And great lighting!
Such a great music/video combo!
Dude... look those colors... this video is amazing! Keep going TBS! You guys rock X)
Addicted to this tune! It's just so god damn bouncy. Is that Lazzara's bro at 0:52?
Ohhh TBS
lol no, that's not Nathan. :)
haha right thanks! I don't really know what he looks like, but just thought the guy looked quite a lot like Adam.
Heard this on Sirius XM Faction and thought this maybe from TAYF or WYWTB, but was shocked after I found out this was from their newest album.

Colorful, as my colorful heart after seeing this.
Great to hear Taking Back Sunday again with a fresh n fun new tune! We playlisted this track as a new hit for March woohooo!
Adam and his faces since 2003
absolutely phenomenal!
look at TBS still doin the damn thing :)
this song makes me so happy and I don't even know why
4 years and still rockin
Glad they are still having fun. Two great singles man
I'm glad the positive comments outnumber the negative... They are doing what they love, LET THEM DO IT HOWEVER THEY WANT. I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to hear this on the radio, I'm dying to.
Awesome typical TBS breakdown! 2:08
Happiness is a great album! If you want to hear Fred then listen to the old albums or the color Fred. I love what tbs is doing
Honestly, this is going to be their best album since TAYF. The three songs released so far have all been good, but the key is that they're hitting different audiences and showing diversity in their music. I really like this album so far and TBS will be getting my money.
They're back.
You know, Harambe never stood a chance.
This song makes me happy and jumpy! Giggidy giggidy!
Such a great song
Officially even more excited for this record than I was for the last one!
I'm obsessed with this song
these guys always takes me back 6 years in the past. \m/
More like 10, but I get what you were doing.
probably around the US but hard to come by if you're from southeast asia.
@@mitchAiZ 6 years old comment, I guess you are right!
on repeat for life
Adam Lazzara you absolute babe, never fail to make me laugh. His outfit is also very similar to the one he wears in the video for "This Photograph Is Proof". Agree with Tom as well, this has obvious elements of LN and WYWTB in it which is fantastic. Also that cat.
This song should be played on the radio, it's much better than the garbage they usually play.
That's how I heard this song is from the radio..
This song has a happy and good vibe to it.
AMAZING!
Two tracks in, loving this album. Only heard one or two tracks from their old stuff but I feel as if they've matured a hell of a lot.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh that paint went straight in his eye :O
Been a hardcore TBS fan for years now. This is probably my favorite song since Miami. Keep it up guys. Can't wait for this album.
Let them have fun
SO EXCITED FOR THIS ALBUM!
Can't stop watching this video since it came out! Adam, love you! So glad TBS is coming out with a new album once again! Love you guys!
I've probably watched it 15 times already.
TBS always use the coolest effects and visuals
this just gets me even more excited for the new album
Even though I don't like it. TBS hold good memories for me. It's awesome that they're still going.
Flicker Fade blew my mind the first time I heard it. This doesn't have the same effect.
But I can imagine it growing on me
Grant Codron Same, but right the other way
favourite band for 12 years, keep going strong
This is so awesome
I didn't know they could be cheerful. Well, I guess this is growing up.
Message isn't so cheerful, but sure sounds cheery
Donavan Riley may I ask your last name??
***** I have a cousin with the same name as yours and like... I'm sorry I'm not meaning to sound creepy haha
***** ooohhh okay. Have a nice day/night!

People always argue that a band's sound should progress with each album, but I think everyone secretly wants that old and familiar sound back. Anyways... great song!
