One more time in this game we play
Sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Placing pieces in the floor
Of all the things that we loved before
Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away
Hate me now so I can move on
Make it easier to see that you're gone
All the things they're gone too
Turn and changed into memories
Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away
New York City streets with friends by your side
Telling stories in words who've left us behind
All the things we'll never say
Leaving like puddles in the rain
Like puddles[2x]
in the rain
We wash away[3x]
Like puddles[2x]
in the rain
We wash away[3x]

    General Comment:every time he says puddles, just imagine he's saying "buttholes." it adds new flavor to the song

    General Comment:Just to say it, which I'm sure many people know by now and these comments were made over five years ago...
    Antonio was definitely in the band for a couple years, and he recorded the EP with this song. All songs have Nolan, and a few have Jesse Lacey on bass/backvox, such as this song I believe; and the others have Adam taking over that position.

    you must'nt have heard a lot of their material then, because the EP basically had their only decent songs.. with maybe 1-2 more songs from later albums.

    For some reason this REALLY reminds me of September 11 which is pretty scary to think about... I know it's probably isn't though

    General Comment:brand new is my favorite band, but part of me definatly wishes jesse never got the boot from tbs, just how great would they be now?, tho tbs would'nt have ever been able to write some of thier signature songs, but o well, maybe jesse could have written them about vin or suttin lol

    General Comment:I don't think it's Antonio. From what I've read, Anonio didn't record any songs with TBS, he only played in two shows and then left. These were sung by John Nolan and Jesse Lacey, definitely. I know that's Jesse singing, and Antonio joined after Jesse was kicked out.
