Seventy Times Seven
A video for the song Seventy Times Seven by Brand New. This song is based on Jesse Lacey (Frontman for Brand New) who found out that his best friend Adam Lazzara (Guitarist from Taking Back Sunday) had slept with his girlfriend. Jesse put the incident to song, and the two have since made up. Lyrics: Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know Like how to deal with despair or someone breakin your heart For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is just beggin to pull me apart I played it quiet left you deep in conversation I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would And now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could Everyone's caught on to everything you do Everyone's caught on to... As if it happening wasn't enough I got to go and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked Ignore the sun, covers over my head Wrote a message on my pillow that says "Jesse, stay asleep in bed" don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!) Search your cell for something which to hang yourself They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life is going to Hell! Everyone's caught on to everything you do Everyone's caught on to... Everyone's caught on to (and I can't let you let me down again) everything you do Everyone's caught on to... (and I can't let you let me down again) So is that what you call a getaway? Well tell me what you got away with Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids Have another drink and drive yourself home I hope there's ice on all the roads And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt then again when your head goes through the windshield Is that what you call tact? You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back So let's end this call and end this conversation And is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed when you say "best friends" means friends forever Is that what you call a getaway? Well tell me what you got away with Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids Have another drink and drive yourself home I hope there's ice on all the roads And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt then again when your head goes through the windshield (I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to everything you do (and I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to... (I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to everything you do (and I can't let you let me down again) Everyone's caught on to...
