Brand New Eyes

Paramore Brand New Eyes Lyrics
1.Careful

I sat on down
And twisted up front
The skies die
A smile whirl

You would have never known

I have it all
But not when I wanted
'Cause over me was a place uncharted
And overgrown

You make your way in
I resist you, just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More
More
More
More

Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
Life you will never know

Shifting your way
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But only for so long

You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More
More
More
More

The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free, so I'll do it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more
More
More
More
More


2.Ignorance

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel, your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
We're not the same
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change
Is good, is good
It's goodddddd

Oh you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it

The same tricks that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Oh now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
We're not the same
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change
Is good, is good
It's goodddddd

Oh you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

Oh you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go I best be on my way out


3.Playing God

I can't make my own decisions
or make any with precision.
Well maybe you should tie me up,
so I don't go where you don't want me.
You say that I've been changin'
that I'm not just simply agin'.
Yeah,How can that be logical?
Just keep cramming ideas down my throat.

woo oh oohh oh

You don't have to believe me
but the way I, way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it, brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.

If God's the game that you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
because it has to be so lonely
to be the only one who's holy.
It's just my humble opinion
but it's one that I believe in.
You don't deserve a point of view
if the only thing you see, is you.

wo oh oohh oh

You don't have to believe me
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.

This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret,
I'll hold you to it.

I know you don't believe me
but the way I, way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it, brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.

I know you won't believe me
but the way I, way I see it
next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
or brake it, brake it off
next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror.


4.Brick By Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her

The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12

Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
And your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic

If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it

But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Or even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da...


5.Turn It Off

I scraped my knees when I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
And just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
But turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite

I'll turn it off

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The tragedy it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking short cuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero

Well I can see behind the curtain
The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent
It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'll be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light?
But turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite

I'll turn it off
Just turn it off

Again~
Again~

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom


6.The Only Exception

When i was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And i watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
Id never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darlin,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe i know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face

And i've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Oh---

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, And Im on my way to believing.


7.Feeling Sorry

We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore.
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you..
Your days are numbered at 24.
And I'm getting bored waiting round for you,
We're not getting any younger, and I
Won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward!

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!

I tried not to think of what might happen,
When your reality, finally, cuts through.
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road.
The worst part it that this (THIS!), this could be you.
You know it too, you can't run from your shame!
You're not getting any younger, time,
Is passing by, but you waited awake..
It's time to roll over!

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry!

And all the best lies,
They are told with fingers tied!
So cross them tight,
Won't you promise me tonight
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out..

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave.
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
I've got no time, I've got no time!

I feel no sympathy,
You lived inside a cave!
You barely get by the rest of us,
You're trying, there's no need to apologize,
Got no time!

I've got no time for feeling sorry!
I've got no time for feeling sorry!


8.Looking Up

Things are looking up, oh finally!
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me.
We always pull through
oh when we try,
I'm always wrong but you're never right.
You're never right!

Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's
asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It's worth fighting for.

Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, almost everything that I would have died for
Just yesterday,
Just yeterday

Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's
asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It's worth fighting for.

God knows the world doesn't need another band, (whoo-oa,
whooo-oa!)
But what a waste it would've been! (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
I can't believe we almost hung it up (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)

Honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's
asleep?
I'd never trade it in, cuz I've always wanted this!
It's not a dream anymore! Ohhh..
It's not a dream anymore! It's worth fighting for.

I can't believe we almost hung it up (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
I can't believe we almost hung it up (whoo-oa, whooo-oa!)
We're just getting started
We're just getting started.


9.Where The Lines Overlap

Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out (out loud)

Chasing patterns
Across a personal map
Makeing pictures
Where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
We already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Call me over
And tell me how
You got so far
Never making a single sound

I'm not used to it
But I can learn
Theres nothing to it
Ive never been happier
Ive never been happier

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
We already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Now Ive got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you
Would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you
Will sing it back to me

Ive got a feeling
I've got a feeling
That you, will sing it back to me
That you, will sing it back to me

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
We already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us


10.Misguided Ghosts

(1,2,3,4)


I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try to follow me
'cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistake

And run
From the, from them
With no direction
Run from them, from them
With no conviction

I'm just one of those ghosts
Travelling endlessly
Don't need no road
In fact they follow you
And we just go in circles
Now I'm told that this life
And pain is just a simple comprimise
So we can get what we want out of it

Someone try to classify,
A broken heart and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on

And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not
Useless
We are just

Misguided ghosts
Travelling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And theres no one role
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles


11.All I Wanted

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame i'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from the mouth

Oh-Oh

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
To all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you


12.Decode

How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win
You're losing fight
All the time

Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, 'I love you so')
(My thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves

How did we get here?
I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
I think I know
I think I know

There is something I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
