transcribe the Handwritten lyrics (photo)

I pray to god the single is out tomorrow

Amen

What kind of eyes have you got, I read NOTHING

God dammit... I was just wondering if anyone had written these up. Thank you!

Cherish the moonlight?

I think so. From what I can tell, the last stanza says:

___ in the dark I cherish the moonlight...
I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night
And it travels heart to limb to pen.

I think, from looking at the photo, the first word is "sing"? Or "being?" something "ing" definetly

I do too. It's very poetic. I'm thinking this might be one of the acoustic songs.

Yes, I think that looks right, and it sounds perfect in my head.

I couldn't make out the word, but when you said sing, it looked right. Now being looks right. I think it's being. That actually makes more sense with the line, but sing fit because it's Brian.

...I think it's being.

Do you think they'd released the acoustic as a single though?

Very much doubt it. I think Handwritten will be track one on the new album and I think it is gonna be a fast one The lyrics that have been picked out do sound very poetic but it's impossible to tell really just from lyrics if it is a slow or a fast song.

Maybe as a second single, but not the first one. I think they'll go with a faster, harder song to begin with. After yesterday, I'm thinking maybe "45". But...I wouldn't be surprised if Biloxi Parish was the single because it's so catchy and (in my opinion) is a great song. I hope it's not Biloxi though because I want to hear new material, but I'll gladly take a studio version of it if they put it up right now. I just want to hear something!

You're right about it being impossible to tell, I just hear it as a slow acoustic song in my head when I read the lyrics. We need to figure out what the missing words are.

It's tricky. Why couldn't Brian write in block capitals? haha

Because he likes to tease us and drive us crazy.

I've had the dreams I'm just waiting for the hallucinations to begin now!

You will probably start seeing Brian, Benny, and the Alexes everywhere you go!

Haha probably. El Jefe said there's cool stuff coming tomorrow. Could it be Gaslight??? No of course not that's a stupid thing to think

I thought the same thing when I saw what El Jefe has written, then I immediately rolled my eyes and said that was stupid too. Frying pan for me as well!

bea, shannons, Christophe, and my findings




Handwritten

pull it out, turn it up, __
__ mine, __
i know there's someone out there __ just __
i know they're waiting up, i know __
and i've been holding my breath, __
for too many years to count...

& we waited for sirens that never came
__
to ease the loss of youth & the many years I've loved you
__ plead forgiven, every word handwritten

let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand
there's nothing like another (?) that’s being cut up the same
and did you _ just drive without a word inbetween
I can understand, you need a minute to breathe _
after all this defeat...

being in the dark, I cherish the moonlight...
I am in love with the way you're in love with the night
and it travels heart to limb to pen...
