For the people wondering what the song is about, the song is about leaving a relationship that isn't going anywhere. "If todays the day it gets tired.." is saying if today youre tired of trying to make it work, "Then todays the day we drop out". is saying then todays the day we end it. "Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel" is saying how the relationship ended even tho they werent completely emotionally ready to end it & be alone. Source: Brand New interview Jesse Lacey explains it
Wasn't that pretty much the entire theme of the first two albums? Because Jesse HATES the first two albums, especially the first, EXACTLY because it's always about relationships ending and I think he's a little embarrassed by how much teenage angst formed the basis of the first two albums... Plus I think it was over some chick he and the lead of Taking Back Sunday were fighting over... Could be hearsay but I think it's true
Definitely, but more specifically it seems to be about divorce, (there is a wedding and kids) and also keeping "the blood in your head" and "your feet on the ground" sounds a lot like advice not to harm yourself. All songs/poems really only mean what you feel when you hear/read them unless they are VERY simple. When you hear "Mary had a little lamb" that pretty exact. XD Unless it's actually the Virgin Mary, and the lamb was Jesus (the Lamb of God: The Holy Sacrifice.) I mean in Revelations it said Jesus' hair was white as wool. o.O
For me this song reminds me of my 1st love I was 19 she was 24 she moved from NC to TX and I followed, we lived in cheap motels and were saving up to get married we both had decent jobs I got paid 15 bucks an hour, I did everything for her and she left me for a rich guy that was related to the lady she worked for, I "gave up my body and bed, all for an empty hotel" and "wasted words" trying to get her back, now shes divorced and I make 400k a year, but that song always reminds me of her.
Lol I forgot about this post and youtube never reminded me till now, I own two stores, it was going to be three this year, but because of covid19 I might have to cut back again, also about 3 years ago I bumped into her and her boyfriend looked exactly like me, but like 20 lbs overweight, it was freaking weird...
This song was the jam in high school. Late nights blasting this on the way home from hanging with friends. Wise and honest words were shared those nights amongst us.
I'm currently using RUclips's autoplay function for the first time. Oh, what I've been missing out on. Listening to Brand New non-stop for hours is fucking amazing.
Great memories. Brings me back to when i was in middle school. Owning life not worried about anything than love. Now im 23 so love itsn't all I can worry about. But with that said this brings me to them great moments ill never forget that I didnt realize were there at the time.
It definitely reminds me of when I was in high school. God, I wish i could go back to the good ol days. When we could be wreckless and not a god damn mattered. If I knew what I knew now I'd be alot happier. That's straight up and real talk! 😎
The first time I heard this song was on the Main Menu of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 when I was 15......it was worth the $60 game just to discover this song/band!
Hi I'm Andrea I'm a recovering addict well I excepted JESUS CHRIST in my heart and it was like I could see through different eyes I was walking in love GOD put his GRACE on me better than heroin for sure GOD BLESS
ooo! maybe not better than nirvana. its a time thing. with out nirvana bnew may not have became themselves. your comment is too open narrow the it down and ill agree.
This song takes me back to jr high and high school man those were crazy times trying to figure it all out only to realize you weren’t meant to figure it out then because everything and everyone around you is gonna keep constantly changing just be a dumb kid and enjoy life before bills and responsibilities come kick the shit out of you. Awesome song
nevertheless AMAZING FUCKING SONG. I've played drums for 20 years and am trying to play guitar and sing simultaneously for like .. 1 ... this song is incred.
I consider this song an icon for pop-punk. Some would probably have my head at a stake for saying so, lol, but I believe when people say "pop punk", this specific song by Brand New (not to mention Brand New all together) comes to mind.
Your Moms Poolboy I disagree, but to each their own. I'll always consider this song an icon for pop-punk, as it is pop-punk regardless of what characteristics may branch it to a sub-genre. Emo is not a real genre, it was acknowledged as a genre only because people wouldn't stop using it to describe music. I believe this is pop-punk, Brand New believes this is pop-punk, Mark Hoppus believes this is pop-punk. I'm going to stick to calling this pop-punk.
One of my best friends loves Brand New and at first i didn't really like them because they are really mellow, but hell i think this song is one of the best things that happened to me this summer
but for now he lies about it all...only for her....until the day he can't lie anymore......the day it gets tired...??? who kows but that's what makes this band's music so great. you can't always relate it somehow to your life...it had a completely different meaning for me back in '03....
Just a friendly tip for you here, when doing a video like this with the lyrics on the screen try and have the lyrics on the screen b4 that part comes up in the song
This video was made over 10 years ago. I used to make music videos like this when RUclips first became popular using Windows Movie Maker. I remember when you would upload the video to RUclips, sometimes the sound wouldn’t be in sync, even if it was previously. I also know sometimes RUclips fucks the sound up in older videos. I guarantee you it’s not the uploader’s fault.
Love this tune rare tio find songs that aren't a 30sec song looped 3x for 3min n call it a song this starts soft n builds up gets harder as it goes n builds a crescendo that the end evolves every verse different sounding that's missing today they just copy paste its sad.
I recommend listening to Seventy seven times Seven if you like this song.. keep an eye out for "Is that what you call tact?" Is there a hidden message here? ;D
I interpret the song in my own way. I listen to songs because they mean something to me, and because I can connect with the lyrics. I never said that this song never had any meaning to me. Don't assume things, kay? What i was trying to say is that people should stop arguing about what the meaning behind the song is. You're supposed to connect it with your own feelings.
i love how the top comments are the meaning of the song. any other band theyre things like "take that, justin beiber". shows brand new fans actually give a shit about what theyre listening to.
Honestly, who cares what the song is about? It may have been writen for a specific reason but musicand it's lyrics are normally left open enough for the listeners to interpret it the way that they see fit. That's what makes it beautiful and worth listening to. So hush about what it may or may not be about and just listen and enjoy the song. We all interpret things in different ways.
Im so fucking happy my gf remined me of this song. I listened to oit all the time when it was first released in 2003 I think! Currently going through this divorse so i totally get the message.
@MrCMEUP its about relationship problems Jesse Lacey (lead singer of brand new) explains in in an interview. its about leaving a relationship thats going no where. example: "By then its you i can do without, theres nothing new to talk about."... the kids shouldering all the blame is saying that they're the only people to blame for the relationship (they're referring themselves as kids).. but i see where you got the idea you got but i saw an interview of them explaining it
Divorce statistics are very misleading. About 1 in 2 straight marriages end in divorce (for gay marriages, where that's legal, the divorce rate is actually much much lower). However, if a successful marriage is one that doesn't end until one of the people dies (or both), a person can only have one of them, but can have many many divorces. A better measure would be to take all the people that are or have been married and see what percentage of them are or have been divorced.
@MrCMEUP "If today's the day it gets tired, todays the day we drop out"... he's talking about leaving a relationship solely on the lack of butterflies, but comes back with "there's nothing new to talk about". not to mention he sings about leaving his home (splitting up) for an empty hotel... Oh and "..their parents let them shoulder all the blame." is hinting toward how kids beat themselves up over broken marriages, and divorces.... its all an extended metaphor for a relationship gone bad.
I thought it said I lie for only you and then also saying the next time each a different word like cry or die or all the above lol. I never owned thr booklet but I heard all 4 ways lmao maybe im Mandela affected lol. (As a millionaire)
@skate4lifemusic If the artist explains what the song is about, then that is what the song is about whether the listener agrees or disagrees. That doesn't mean, of course, that you can't get your own meaning out of a song.
For the people wondering what the song is about, the song is about leaving a relationship that isn't going anywhere. "If todays the day it gets tired.." is saying if today youre tired of trying to make it work, "Then todays the day we drop out". is saying then todays the day we end it.

Perfectly well put, and Absolutely Correct ;)
I think it’s more about a domestic violence call and the husband is trying to cover up his wife’s Injuries before the police show up
For me this song reminds me of my 1st love I was 19 she was 24 she moved from NC to TX and I followed, we lived in cheap motels and were saving up to get married we both had decent jobs I got paid 15 bucks an hour, I did everything for her and she left me for a rich guy that was related to the lady she worked for, I "gave up my body and bed, all for an empty hotel" and "wasted words" trying to get her back, now shes divorced and I make 400k a year, but that song always reminds me of her.
XSatampraZeirosX I'm sorry bud.
where the fuck do you work at that you make 400k?
Wow! Her loss in the long run.
Lol I forgot about this post and youtube never reminded me till now, I own two stores, it was going to be three this year, but because of covid19 I might have to cut back again, also about 3 years ago I bumped into her and her boyfriend looked exactly like me, but like 20 lbs overweight, it was freaking weird...
XSatampraZeirosX wow, haha, that is weird, kind of reminds me of that Friends episode where Rachel dates Ross’s doppelgänger Russ.

Hell yeah'
You ever listen to a song for YEARS and never fully understood the lyrics or even cared to make them out fully
Millz5231 I can explain to you what it all means if you'd like.
rob864guy i wanna know!
Millz5231 yeah Slipknot
@@rob864guy come on!!
What I never got is why they used Hallelu... did they just have a hard time finding a word to rhyme with you? 🤣
I use to listen to these guys all the time in middle school/high school.
I'm gonna start again! :)
Good decision Buddy
Honest comment about depression and how this song rocks so hard I somehow, by the grace of mystery, feel okay.
hope youre doing ight.
🤘✌ I feel ya man. Rock on bro and keep your head up.
I feel you man I've turned to this song multiple times
Exactly why I'm here. You nailed it
🎉Happy 74th birthday (August 8, 1949) to Cleveland Browns great #17 Brian Sipe! 🎉
Great memories. Brings me back to when i was in middle school. Owning life not worried about anything than love. Now im 23 so love itsn't all I can worry about. But with that said this brings me to them great moments ill never forget that I didnt realize were there at the time.
23?! So old!
phantomisle Same lol I'm 21
Trust1878 so old? she's brand new.
This song makes more sense when you have feelings towards a person.
It definitely reminds me of when I was in high school. God, I wish i could go back to the good ol days. When we could be wreckless and not a god damn mattered. If I knew what I knew now I'd be alot happier. That's straight up and real talk! 😎
NHL 2004! Good times!
2013 and it still sounds "brand new" to me!! :)
2023
You just made this man feel old
The first time I heard this song was on the Main Menu of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 when I was 15......it was worth the $60 game just to discover this song/band!
Hi I'm Andrea I'm a recovering addict well I excepted JESUS CHRIST in my heart and it was like I could see through different eyes I was walking in love GOD put his GRACE on me better than heroin for sure GOD BLESS
Amen
brand new is one of the best bands ever. period!
Yeah totally better than like...the beatles, Michael jackson, Elvis presley, nirvana, etc. Totally.....
ooo! maybe not better than nirvana. its a time thing. with out nirvana bnew may not have became themselves. your comment is too open narrow the it down and ill agree.
+Cold and Hungry overrated af
+Gemelah Fearn You probably listen to shitty rap music, so your opinion is null and void
Cold and Hungry i only listen to rock lol. All those you said are so overrate. Iconic but overrated. Especially Nirvana
This song takes me back to jr high and high school man those were crazy times trying to figure it all out only to realize you weren’t meant to figure it out then because everything and everyone around you is gonna keep constantly changing just be a dumb kid and enjoy life before bills and responsibilities come kick the shit out of you. Awesome song
Anyone else get goosebumps listening to this song?
Yep, still do. Love it.
I have something more than goosebumps! I live this every day of my life. But I loved seeing them open for the movielife. Playing these songs for the first time to a new audience. Best show ever. Hung out with a fan....turned out to be the lead singer. But I love the backup one...names are not my forte© . my bands name. Todd Sloan
It's been almost 7 years of listening to them for me. woah.
Three months later and I'm still in love with this
3 months is like no time but ok
Meredith H your comment is like so unnecessary but ok
I was just talking about how much I like this song Meredith but ok
Yeah, Meredith... You could have just not been a bitch, but ok...
Way to break the combo Mike but ok
Still listen to this almost every day
RIP my emo days.
Awesome song
nevertheless AMAZING FUCKING SONG. I've played drums for 20 years and am trying to play guitar and sing simultaneously for like .. 1 ... this song is incred.
I haven't heard this song for years.... memories
i remember listening to this band back in 03 or 04 memories
forgot all about this song, hadnt heard it in years...thank you songpop
I consider this song an icon for pop-punk. Some would probably have my head at a stake for saying so, lol, but I believe when people say "pop punk", this specific song by Brand New (not to mention Brand New all together) comes to mind.
Yeah :D
Patrick Hanford this isnt pop punk
Your Moms Poolboy what attributes dictate Pop-Punk, then?
this is emo/alternative Patrick Hanford.
most of brand news breakdowns are far too weak to be called pop punk.
Your Moms Poolboy I disagree, but to each their own. I'll always consider this song an icon for pop-punk, as it is pop-punk regardless of what characteristics may branch it to a sub-genre. Emo is not a real genre, it was acknowledged as a genre only because people wouldn't stop using it to describe music.
I believe this is pop-punk, Brand New believes this is pop-punk, Mark Hoppus believes this is pop-punk. I'm going to stick to calling this pop-punk.
One of my best friends loves Brand New and at first i didn't really like them because they are really mellow, but hell i think this song is one of the best things that happened to me this summer
Such a powerful song.

Yes for people like me who can't remember lyrics but still like to sing the right ones lmao

Oh mein Gott, ich hab sooo lang nach diesem Lied gesucht!!!!!!
one of my all-time favorite songs
first heard this in One Tree Hill ...ah memories.
reminds me of late nights playing NHL 2004 with my cousin and best friend
NHL 04 best soundtrack of any game ever
Amazing track!
Love this tune rare tio find songs that aren't a 30sec song looped 3x for 3min n call it a song this starts soft n builds up gets harder as it goes n builds a crescendo that the end evolves every verse different sounding that's missing today they just copy paste its sad.
NHL 04 anyone?
YES!
And Tiger Woods 04
Dude im glad im not the only one who thinks of that game, so many memories come back!
this song was in a game?
Good Times
I recommend listening to Seventy seven times Seven if you like this song.. keep an eye out for "Is that what you call tact?" Is there a hidden message here? ;D
love this song....was hooked when ea put it on the game
I remember when this came out I was 12 lol great song
I'm 22 and I'm still emo. Nothing wrong with that.
Literally came here after playing one of my old NHL games for PS2

Love this song!
this song is about what you want it to be about. As is every song.
Beautifull song
My 9th grade Algebra 1 teacher introduced me to this
NHL 2004...nuff said
Im so fucking happy my gf remined me of this song. I listened to oit all the time when it was first released in 2003 I think! Currently going through this divorse so i totally get the message.
GREAT! THANKS 4 THE LYRICS
No words for how fucking awesome this is.
NHL 2004 brought me here (no nostalgic ties to the game so everything about it is new to me including this gem I keep repeating in game)
@MrCMEUP its about relationship problems Jesse Lacey (lead singer of brand new) explains in in an interview. its about leaving a relationship thats going no where. example: "By then its you i can do without, theres nothing new to talk about."... the kids shouldering all the blame is saying that they're the only people to blame for the relationship (they're referring themselves as kids).. but i see where you got the idea you got but i saw an interview of them explaining it
.RIP.. JC 🎼 6- 4-2018
Love it
I agree with the guy agreeing about that one agreement.
After all these years, they still sound Brand New to me...
It was NHL 2002...I played that game religiously. It was played during the Stanley Cup celebration ceremony.
Divorce statistics are very misleading. About 1 in 2 straight marriages end in divorce (for gay marriages, where that's legal, the divorce rate is actually much much lower). However, if a successful marriage is one that doesn't end until one of the people dies (or both), a person can only have one of them, but can have many many divorces. A better measure would be to take all the people that are or have been married and see what percentage of them are or have been divorced.
I lie for only you..
And I lie well..
to all the love lost.. hang on ppl life gets real
I fucking love this song
Same here. This song was apart of the NHL 2004 soundtrack.
Something addicting of off key singing and echoey voices reminds me of sunny day real estates 7 a little bit.
Perfect.
how can 5 people not like this?
So romantic
2022 here
I don't think its shitty, I love it, and always will!!!
Memories....
good song
TIGER WOODS PGA 2004!!!
Jesse is in big trouble
Great the RUclips Counter is broken again... It only counting how many times I've listened to this and it's still off by 1,000,000,000,000,000...
thank you!
Unf. This just became my fav song.
this band is brand new to me, but i like it :)
@MrCMEUP "If today's the day it gets tired, todays the day we drop out"... he's talking about leaving a relationship solely on the lack of butterflies, but comes back with "there's nothing new to talk about". not to mention he sings about leaving his home (splitting up) for an empty hotel... Oh and "..their parents let them shoulder all the blame." is hinting toward how kids beat themselves up over broken marriages, and divorces.... its all an extended metaphor for a relationship gone bad.
Why does the music video suggest something different? Or did the relationship become broken because of that car crash that got her severely injured?
@personthatwatchestv apparently it was. i just looked at the soundtrack online and yes it was
yeah love it!
Takes me back to middle school
@TrueBlonde14 agreeeeeed! how come they were never mainstraim?? maybe because they actully spoke there mind right??
jesse lacey says the song is about ending a relationship during a good time bc it has to happen some time
I lie for only you. That's deep.
Shit they can write a fucking song. I forgot about how obsessed I used to be with them. Time to break out the old cd cases and burn a trail.
awsome song nice lyrics btw
=)
Considering the album wasn't released until June 2003, I think you're probably wrong. The single for this song was released later.
is it me or are all the girls in this band just so cute?
I thought it said I lie for only you and then also saying the next time each a different word like cry or die or all the above lol. I never owned thr booklet but I heard all 4 ways lmao maybe im Mandela affected lol. (As a millionaire)
@skate4lifemusic If the artist explains what the song is about, then that is what the song is about whether the listener agrees or disagrees. That doesn't mean, of course, that you can't get your own meaning out of a song.
weirdly enough Tiger Woods 2004 brought me here
Chris Floyd I used to play tiger woods on ps2 nonstop missed those games
YES YES YES AND YES.
That explains why this song is so familiar.
I lie for only you...
