I don’t really know of a perfect song of the year. Personally, I just open up my Grooveshark Desktop and hit “Radio” and let Grooveshark do the rest. I do know that this year, Paramore released a new album, Brand New Eyes, and Brick By Boring Brick is my favorite song on the album, so that is my song of the year.
Listen to Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore
Lyrics: (provided by LyricsMode)
{Verse 1}
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she’s left behind
It’s all about the exposure, the lens, I told her
The angles are all wrong now
She’s ripping wings off of butterflies
{Pre-Chorus}
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head’s in the clouds
{Chorus}
Well go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle (x2)
Ba-da ba ba-da ba ba da
{Verse 2}
So one day, he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve, well make sure
To build your house brick by boring brick
Or the wolf’s gonna blow it down
{Pre-Chorus}
Keep your feet on the ground…
When your head’s in the clouds…
{Chorus}
Well go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
We’ll bury the castle, bury the castle
{Bridge}
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic…
If it’s not real
You can’t hold it in your hand
You can’t feel it with your heart
And I won’t believe it
But if it’s true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that’s where I want to be, yeah!
{Chorus}
Go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
{Outro}
Ba-da ba ba-da ba ba da
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba ba
[X3]
Ba-da ba ba-da ba ba da
Ba-da ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
