Restless eyes close, maybe it'll go away
Please rest tomorrow, bring a satisfying day
The restless urge of love that's worth the burning for
Surely it's that one consuming love to give you more
Any thought could be the beginning of the brand new tangled web you're spinning
Anyone could be a brand new love
Any tithe that holds can be broken, tear your bitter world to the open
Anyone could be a brand new love
You won't be the first, your twisted change is normal
Gossan dirt, whispered to the nodding head
Thrilled you fell apart, instead of them
But they will
Any hope for love can be killed
If you need a different face, it's definite time to destroy this place
Any thought could be the beginning of the brand new tangled web you're spinning
Anyone could be a brand new love
Follow what you feel, you alone decide what's real
Anyone can be a brand new love

    General Comment:Yeah I think it's "gossip dirt," not "gossan dirt," and "any tie that holds," not "any tithe."

    General Comment:i swear i feel like i hear crickets in the background.. which sort of ads to the intimacy of the song, a guy, a guitar, and a 4-track recorder in a living room.

    General Comment:I don't think sad is the right word to describe it. "Bitter" would be better.

    General Comment:I like to think this song has a hopeful message, though the more i listen to it, the more sad I think it is...

    General Comment:This song is gorgeous. I've never thought of it as uplifting or positive. It sounds to me like he's singing it to an ex he feels pity or disdain for. Someone who's searching for love to replace one they had.

    Regardless, try Death Cab For Cutie's cover of it on the John Byrd EP. It's not as good as the original, but they do a great job with it.

    General Comment:I've always felt that this song was very hopeful, but at the same time I could understand if somebody felt the opposite way. Lou kind of equates love with suffering here, so I guess any optimism is dampened by that.

    General Comment:Could be that Lou is talking to a his newly ditch girlfiend, trying to sooth her.

    General Comment:Either a hopeful or a sadly reflective song about a lost love. Great stuff for any lovestruck teen. THe acoustic version on Weed Forstin has that fragile atmosphere that makes it a pretty and sad song.
