Taking Back Sunday New Again Lyrics
1.New Again

All the better to hold you down
Slap my wrist with the sweet consequence
What are we, what are we to do
What are we to do with you
What are we, what are we to do
What are we to do with you

I am, I'm ready to be new again
I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough
(Quite enough)
I am, I'm ready to be new again
I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough
(Quite enough)

Monster with sharp teeth you have
(all the better to)
All the better to call you out
...
You don't know where you've been
Well you don't where I've been
What are we to do
What are we to, to do with you

I am, I'm ready to be new again
I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough
(Quite enough)
I am, I'm ready to be new again
I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough
(Quite enough)

Don't know where I've been
Don't know where I've been

I am, I'm ready to be new again
I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough
I am, I'm ready to be new again
I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough
(Quite enough)

You don't know where I've been x7
(I am I'm ready to be new again)
(I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough)
(I am I'm ready to be new again)
(I'm ready to hear you say who I am is quite enough)


2.Sink Into Me

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Come on, tell me that you're better
And you rather just forget that
Things have gone so far
Yeah, tell me that you're better
And you'd rather just forget that
Things have gone too far

You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me

Now tell me that you're better
And you rather just forget that
Things have gone so far
You tell me that you're better
And you'd rather just forget that
Yeah, things have gone too far

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Come on and have your way with me

I'd like to be a note
The kind you could sing
But don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat
And hang from every word you spoke

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see you have your way
Come on, have your way with me
(Aim for every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter, every slur)
Come on, have your way with me
(Sink into me)


3.Lonely,Lonely

your flower tongue wilts with too much sun
and that's where we've been living for so long
she's still sending off the western coast
and watch the sun set with your shrinking voice
see, i hate the boy she loves the most
i'm just enough to fill the void her daddy left.

lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
don't you go changing for me.
(she's sin, she's sin)
what can you hide?
what can you hide?
lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
don't you go changing for me.

but i often wondered just how deep i could
sink my teeth into that crease on your arm
the place where all the good times,
they grow and grow.
what would it take to stay the same for me?
well, would it sound the same coming from me?
such an awful tearing sound.

lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
don't you go changing for me.
(she's sin, she's sin)
what can you hide?
what can you hide?
lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
don't you go changing for me.
changing for me...

oh, all the things they said about you,
paper thin walls stacked around you,
an hour glass is silhouetting me.

no matter how hard i try
or how dirty your thought
there is no place on god's great earth
where you can go to hide from me

lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
don't you go changing for me.
(she's sin, she's sin)
what can you hide?
what can you hide?
lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,
don't you go changing for me.
changing for me...


4.Summer,Man

yeah,
i played deaf, immersed
in that technicoloured kind of black and white type,
counting one to seven through the roof
if my lady only knew how high i am,
i am tonight

i crack open the safe myself, now
fourty-five twenty-two, june until september,
three months 'til december

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.

'cause i ain't working for you anymore,
no, i ain't working for you anymore,
so go prove to the world what you
already proved
that you just couldn't do on your own.

let's have a talk about the good times
but you were always giving in
let's have a talk about the good times
boy, you were only giving in

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.

let's have a talk about the good times
but you were always giving in
let's have a talk about the good times
boy, you were only giving in to me.

the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.
the summer is over
and i doubt,
i doubt i'll be seeing you around.
i'll be seeing you around.


5.Swing

open the gate to your appartment complex,
your not getting off that easily.
i climb the fence,
the one that you've been sitting on.
(how long)
before i'm just a memory,
(how long)
before you can't remember me,
remember me.

i never had a choice,
i never had a choice,
to lead the choke-hold mold and romance you ???
i couldn't find the part to fix
the lessons nagging in my brain
(how long)
before i'm just a memory,
(how long)
before you can't remember me,
remember me.

lover, lover
on the fence
bat your eyes, ball your fist and swing
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.

lover, lover
now tell me this,
passion over consequence,
when did the latter take my leave?
just swing, just,
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.

i never had a choice,
i never had a choice,
the evening lit itself
and watched my reservations fall to the floor
fall to the floor, now sit with me
(how long)
before i'm just a memory,
(how long)
before you can't remember me,
remember me.

lover, lover
on the fence
bat your eyes, ball your fist and swing
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.

before you leave
lover, lover
tell me this,
passion over consequence,
when did the latter take my leave?
just swing,

open the gate to your appartment complex,
did you forget of your call for me?
(did you forget it?)
how long did you expect to keep me waiting?
how long before i'm just a memory?

lover, lover
on the fence
bat your eyes, ball your fists and swing
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing for me.

lover, love
now tell me this,
passion over consequence,
since when did the latter take the lead?
just swing, just,
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.


6.Where My Mouth Is

see, it's not like i didn't mean what i said
when i said 'i'll put my money where my mouth is'
and i put my money where my mouth was
until i couldn't breathe through my nose
and now i'm starring at the floor
where my second life just ended,
where i lost not one, but two friends.

yeah, i had it all
sitting on top of the world
but i threw it away.
just to prove that i could,
i put my money where my mouth is

see, i recall quite perfectly who i was
both before and after the drugs
both before and after the drugs

i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth was
i got a strong will, just weak hands
and i don't know what to do
with either one of them

yeah, i had it all
sitting on top of the world
but i threw it away.
just to prove that i could,
just to prove that i could,
i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is

you're the knight in shining armour
with a mother and a father,
you had everything
everything you needed
and it was made crystal clear
that would not change

yeah, i had it all
sitting on top of the world
but i threw it away.
just to prove that i could,
yeah, i had it all
yeah i had it good, so good
but i threw it away.
just to prove that i could,

i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is

yeah, i had it all.


7.Cut Me Up Jenny

oh,

on a borrowed matress you were stopping time,
i've been watching you,
i've been watching you
for hours and hours before you knew
i have exciting news,
i've been saving up to buy you.

you are the polished-pearl grips of your fathers .45,
give me all those gory details,
do tell, do tell.

so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.
i took full advantage of being taken full advantage of
i took what i could get and eventually it took the place of love
match-makers in heaven, oh, they've got a one-track mind
so in our case, i don't think they mind

finger prints are a perfect match
and you didn't have to leave the way you did.
i've been watching you,
i've been watching you,
most times you never knew.

you are a sunday afternoon with nothing to do
you are manhattan in june,
as the population's wearing next to nothing.

so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.
i took full advantage of being taken full advantage of
i took what i could get and eventually it took the place of love
match-makers in heaven, oh, they've got a one-track mind
so in our case, i don't think they mind
no, i don't think they mind.

give me all those gory details,
do tell, do tell.

so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up, jenny,
so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.
i took full advantage of being taken full advantage of
i took what i could get and eventually it took the place of love
match-makers in heaven, oh, they've got a one-track mind
so in our case, i don't think they mind
so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.
so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.
so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.
so cut me up, jenny,
well, cut me up gently.


8.Catholic Knees

Dusting off the old life from my catholic knees
I scraped them up good
Scraped them up good
(Scraped them up good)
You doctored them clean

Oh yes, we are patient, patient
Salt-licked wounds merely bruised
(But none of that'll matter)
None of that'll matter soon
Educate, see how much you can take
None of that'll matter
None of that'll matter

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

Before my hands had the chance to grow
All I was told
'Good enough's as good as it's gonna get'
Yeah 'good enough's as good as you'll ever get'

Said I, I made a conscious decision
To shake the skin I was stuck in
It stretched my bones
Believe in nothing
I can't quite seem to catch my breath
(But I cannot forget)

That none of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
None of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

But that's where you came in
Yeah, here we are
Yeah, here I am
That's where you came in
Now, here we are
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground
Lord, keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)


9.Capital M-E

the nicest man i ever met
was more malicious than malcontent
yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
and wait to strike 'til their backs were turned

and you slither away like the snake that you are.
and you slither away like the snake that you are.

all i ever did was look up to you
and if all i ever did was let, let you down
and nothing's stopping me now.

the vanities fell correctly beneath
the receeding part of his twenties
was capital m-e (i couldn't subscribe)
was capital m-e (but you can't say i didn't try)
you say what you want (maybe i didn't get my way)
you say what you want (maybe i didn't get my way)
but i got, i got away.

all i ever did was look up to you
and if all i ever did was let, let you down
and nothing's stopping me now.

was it everything you hoped for?
was it all of that and more?
too much too soon?
or too good to be true?
was it everything you hoped for?
was it all of that and more?

all i ever did was look up to you
and if all i ever did was let, let you down
and nothing's stopping me now.
all i ever did was look up to you
and if all i ever did was let, let you down
and nothing's stopping me now.


10.Carpathia

I?m gunna leave the same way I came
Up from the ashes then I?m from the ashes
If our house had stood here on this wood foundation
Then you you could?ve fooled me
I admit I was a fool for your southern days
(one hundred and fifty degrees in the shade)
It wasn?t an option to go back to my place
(no I was put in my place)

And You, we lived in separate houses we had for all our lives
It would?ve been nice to say (It would?ve been nice to say)
Sure would?ve been nice to say I knew you

when oh when will this sinking feeling
Feel like ?man that was ages ago?

I don?t worry half as much as I did
When I was an experiment
Your resident tourniquet
Life?s now about your next waiting just waiting
I am the mantel and you are a painting
Come rest your frame on me (come rest your frame on me)
I was a tower and you were an airplane
We happened before we knew what was happening

we lived in separate houses we had for all our lives
It would?ve been nice to say (It would?ve been nice to say)
When oh when will this sinking feeling
Feel like ?man that was ages ago?
When oh when will this sinking feeling
Feel like ?man that was ages ago?
?man that was ages ago?
(?man that was ages ago?) etc.

We lived inside each other
Such Careless lazy lovers
Would?ve been nice to say
Sure would?ve been nice to say

When oh when will this sinking feeling
Feel like ?man that was ages ago?
When oh when will this sinking feeling
Feel like ?man that was ages ago?
?man that was ages ago?
(?man that was ages ago?) etc


11.Everything Must Go

We found a house
with a yard
And moved all of my things in
And most of your things in
And honey I was proud of it
Yeah honey I was proud of, you...

You quote the good book
when its convenient
but you dont have the sense
no you dont have the sense
to tie your tangled toungue
instead you slash it through the mud

and some boxes
and hand me down couch, and chair
they used to be at your church
we borrowed them from there
and cabinet-record player
with nothin but james taylor
tore the carpets from the corners
to put in that hardwood floor
i'd be a fool to have asked for more

You quote the good book
when its convenient
but you dont have the sense
no you dont have the sense
to tie your tangled tongue
instead you slash it through the mud

You quote the good book
when its convenient
but you dont have the sense
no you dont have the sense
to tie your tangled toungue
instead you slash it through the mud

The love you had was good enough
The paths that we were stuck between
beside myself i stop to think,
oh lord what have i done

You quote the good book
when its convenient
but you dont have the sense
no you dont have the sense
to tie your tangled tounge
instead you slash it through the mud
You quote the good book
when its convenient
but you dont have the sense
no you dont have the sense
to tie your tangled tounge
instead you slash it through the mud
