Brand New - Not The Sun Lyrics

My label is my own name¡ yeahhhh¡

Please don't be technology
So I can turn off your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray comin' back just to be fed

Don't be waves, come and seal my fate marine
Just pretend that you want me

And be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my—

Well, don't be that note I can't hold
Well, don't be that joke that I told and told till it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breathe
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?

And if you breed, just don't tell me

And be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe 

We will celebrate, but we’ve gone faster we’ll have our harmonies, wanting quick slaughter and would you want me? For the millionth time I’ve said it time and time again

Be my serene
Tell me you know what I mean
You've set on me
But you are not the sun
You are not the sun

Outside, I'm growin' roots again
You set on me
But you are not the sun
You are not the sun
You are not the sun 

Prove me wrong

How do they know
What I am?
Burn it down
Come around
So let's pretend that you love me

And be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my babe, be my babe
Be my—

JUST PRETEND.

good idea

Brings me back

GORU! GORU! GORU! @02:05

Boontube is bacckkkk

JUST PRETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND THAT YOU *WUV* ME

The band that helped me get over my sexual assault is fronted by a fucking predator

Fuck Jesse Lacey for ruining this small comfort that was the band Brand New

this gives me a strange amount of elias and the error vibe (mostly the beginning)

2:04 the best thing the band has ever done

YOU'VE SET ON ME BUT YOU ARE NOT THE SUN

The opening riff sounds like something red hot chilies peppers would do

Thomas Brodhead Parallel Universe

There's something absolutely enchanting about this song

Please don't be technology
So I can turn up your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray coming back just to be fed

I'll be wait
Come and seal the fate, Marie
Just pretend that you want me
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my babe
To be my

Well don't be that note I can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breath
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?

And if you break
Just don't tell me
To be my babe

To be my dream
Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong)
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
(How do they know where I am?)

Outside your cold lips again
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
You are not the sun

So let's pretend that you love me
And be my bait
To be my bait

why ya gotta be so short

better now

memories

I'm not the sun

nonstop talking from nouns not shopping.most likely not gettin any sex either

i guess sixx am Stars sounds alot like this

"you've set on me, but you're not the sun. Ahhhh the Feels!

whenever i listen to this album im positive the song im listening to is my favorite.....and then the next song comes on

Does this remind anyone of Big Mouth Strikes Again by The Smiths?

Yeah it's done on purpose. Especially the opening 10 seconds. Exact same thing.

What I hear is, "would you be my bae"

Not close. Brand New doesn't use ridiculous Bae in their music.

I mean it is "be my babe." haha

LoL, That's much better CountingCrows. :) How it should be. :p

2:04 "PLEASE BE MY SERENE! TELL ME YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" <3

I won't be that stray coming back just to be fed

these lyrics are wrong

Best band ever. period.

these are the lyrics i kept missing :x

(We would celebrate when you got my ring)
(Our love cool in the rage of a sun)
(If you want me, I'm available)
(So take your time and arrange)

"Would you be my bae?"

BE MY BAE*

If you're still using Bae, you need to rethink your life.

@Rob Faget 4 years ago, Bob!

thats what he really meant but he was embarrassed to be public about it

These lyrics are incorrect. And so incorrect that the meaning of some lines begin to change. 

@c alongi These look more correct than any lyrics I've ever seen around for this song. What are the correct ones, if you know them? (Edit: and by "look more correct", I mean these lyrics actually make more sense than the more commonly posted lyrics that everyone thinks are right...)

@silentlyinmyheart I refer you to my comment from a day before yours, also in reply to this...

@jarhead4life I don't see that comment... o_O

its be my babe. at least on genius and other lyric sites. things making sense is a matter of perception. so i mean it doesn't matter if it does to you. could be completely different. just sayin

would you be my bait? ;D

you set on me but you are not the sun.

Best band ever! Hands down.

I get goose bumps Seventy times Seven times.

2:04, possibly one of the best transitions I've ever heard

Jake Wilkes oh it is fucking fantastic. makes the song for me

Oh. Shit. I could have sworn I was a million-mile ball of heat and raging gases.

My bad.

Wow. The lyrics posted are way off the mark.

it is bait

MAYBE ITS BASED BUMBUMBUMMMMMMMM

ruined it with the incorrect "u"

Oh btw, the ending lyrics are the most clever and you've got those wrong as well. Listen carefully and you'll hear it.

"You've set on me and you are not the sun
You will not listen"

"Please don't be technology"
How do you seriously fuck up the opening line?

There's no lyrics with the CD.

I always thought he was saying "would you be my babe" as it is the only thing that makes sense in the context of this song.

Can someone who owns this CD tell me if it's bait or babe they're saying? I've seen both but I don't know which one is correct.

then go listen to it you giant dumbfuck troll.

hit me up.

Whatever floats your boat. Most people aren't really into S&M.

what the fuck did i just read?!

oh shit this and the archers song are awesome......the best part of smoking the carpet, like what i heard on daisy.......its more tolerable than that nanny nanny boo boo interuption stuff on my superfiction album.....which, again..earshot and nonpoint are good and great also, but don'forget great white nor the killer in you....okie dokie.....that lil vegas guy alongside simon rex and miss my name is earl

best part 0:00 - 3:10

I think this is my favorite Brand New song. I don't think it's their best but I can never get enough of it.

Yes Jesse,
I will be your bait. <3

wow, the lyrics attached to this desperately need revisions.

U ARE NOT THE FUCKING SUN!!

So wake me up before you gogo don't leave me hanging like a yo-yo

best part 2:03-2:37

the bridge part is one of the best lines i ever heard

I LOVE this song. I love every Brand New song though, but recently I've been in the exact same position as Jessie is singing about and listening to this has been a life saver

I love the passionate vibes this song emits.

My fav. track off this album, miss these dudes, saw them twice live...so kick ass!

my favorite cd of all time

this song will never get old<3

haha this song has one thing in common with every other song on this album.. It's awesome!
