Songfacts®:

  • Lead singer Jesse Lacey wrote this in tribute to a Victoria's Secret model named "Laetitia." The lyrics find him admiring her in the catalog: "Broken down in my dead bedroom, stuttering to pictures of you," "Girl, come to me. The only brokenhearted loser you'll ever need, or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines." >>>

  • Vamps from Indianalove the song, and at least now i can know what tf im singing along to xD
  • Jssmchh_rawr from Fayetteville, Nchah, i always wondered where he got the name latetia. hahaha. i agree, that "girl come to me, the only brokenhearted loser, you'll ever need. or i'll be left alone forever with my magazines" is pretty corny, but i think that brand new is the only band that could really pull that off. their lyrics are sometimes cliche, and often very simple, but with a bigger meaning behind them that you have to really think to understand.
  • Chris from Milwuakee, Wi"Laetitia you've got my hand shaking" wonder what Jesse was doin in his "Dead Bedroom"????
  • Damon from Seeley Lake, Mt"Girl, come to me, the only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need, or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines."
    This line comes off as both completely corny yet innocent and sincere. It kills me.
  • Damon from Seeley Lake, MtThis song is great. I LOVE brand new. Its awesome that they can right the deepest lyrics youve ever heard then turn right around a deliver this funny schoolboy homage to a supermodel. This song cracks me up.
