Lyrics:
Moved all my shit into my parent's basement and out of our old apartment. I know things changed but I'm not sure when. I guess you'd call this regression. I left a "real" job and a girlfriend. I convinced myself that I'm brave enough for all of this. I spent this whole year in airports and the floor feels like home. Oh, at least we're never alone. I lost track of the time zones and I'd call but you know... I'm running on empty. The late nights and the long drives start to get to me. I'm just so tired. I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm a voice on a phone that you rarely answer anymore. I came in here alone but that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago. I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore. Been on a steady fast food diet like we're this generation's Morgan Spurlock, but we don't admit defeat. My body feels rejected and I can't say that I blame it. My heart keeps saying stay young. My lower back seems to disagree. I unrolled a cheap cotton blanket on an old dirty couch. I felt the year start to wind down. I can't stand any dead space. Empty beds bum me out. I came out swinging from a South Philly basement caked in stale beer and sweat under half-lit fluorescents. I spent the winter writing songs about getting better and if I'm being honest, I'm getting there.

this song really hits different in your 30's
Try staring down 40
@@doctorgonzo1313 wait until you're 42. Your lower back really starts to disagree then.
@@JaredHope Too late…
You guys know you're still trying to jam though
I'm almost 50 ...
Why did the pop punk kid cross the road?
To get out of this town
He was "Walking on beach in a summer with his friends"
Is that a real question? Pretty obvious..
Lmao
I feel attacked
Jamie C Nice 👍
the ghost symbolises being a ghost
yes.
doesnt the ghost represent the energy released when a body dies
Thank you for clarifying! :D
Alex Robinson OMG I never would've guessed! Thanks for telling us! :O

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M UPSET ABOUT" This has defined my life for the past 3 years and I'm sick of it. I'm ready for change.
+Erik Schuessler I'm feeling the exact same way. I wish you the best in your journey. I hope it's getting better for ya.
fuck that explains me too
same
Life gets better. I'm the happiest I've ever been. Anyone out there who's struggling with you-don't-even-know-what...hang in there.
I know exactly what I'm upset about so fuck you
"I spent the winter writing songs about getting better,
and if I'm being honest,
I'm getting there."
❤
When the graffiti finally reads, "I don't even know what I'm upset about," it totally encapsulates the way I felt when I was a kid, and honestly still feel pangs of at 24.
Andrew Womack I'm 20 rn and I feel the same way, I know you posted this five years ago, I hope 30 years old brings you some solace my friend
@@jadaneberly3852 I'm 37. It only gets worse.
Lucky lol
How you doing at 32?
@@whyusucksobad You know, I'm honestly doing just fine. I still get upset and don't necessarily know why. I also learned that I'm now at the age where I can sprain my ankle simply by sleeping wrong (true story, dealing with it right now). But things are solid. I got married, am expecting my first child this summer, and don't hate what I do for a living. I hope you and everyone else in this thread or watching this video is doing well too.
38 years old… married for the past 13 years with my own home and a few kids… why do I still relate to this song after all these years?
I want stale beer and sweat in my birthday cake this year
Nate!!!! What’s up brudda!
Hahah fancy seeing you here even tho you probs wont see this
mikah ong ✌️
Whoaaaaa nate
under half-lit fluourescents?
This got me through the worst years of my life
Same! Hope it's getting better daily! ❤
Thank you Nanashi Mumei for this.
The saddest part about this song is seeing all the comments being from 4 years ago... Where are you modern pop punk kids? Am I alone here?
hell yeah my dude
A lot of them go through phases but there’s a chunk of us holding it down still 😛😛
nah bro i'm here. i gotchu
Your not alone Nicolas! Here from Brazil !
We never left
Why do we have to defend pop punk? I think it defends itself.
***** DEFEND POP PUNK! Yeah, MO has weird fanbase or did they start this "trend" by themselves?
embie it started as a mock of a tshirt of the band “the effort“ and the shirt says “destroy pop punk“ so thats the story of the DEFEND POP PUNK merch
Josh Haveheart Great to know! I always thought that MO started it.
Te amo un vergo *****
William Gurubel Vázquez You love me..? heh, thanks c:
RIP Morgan Spurlock, immediately remembered this song
Same
Came here from Mumei right now. Great song 👍
A bed sheet ghost, pranks, backyard wrestling, mcdonalds, smashing shit, and a random canoe paddle in the background. I like it.
Reminds me of blink 182
Jon Palmiere ah yes!
pop punk enough
The wonder years made growing up in south philly a little more bearable
+Victoria Dalinsky agreed
+Victoria Dalinsky lol I'm from north philly. I know how you feel...
Suburban Atlanta here. I can relate. Can't tell you how many times I rolled through town on summer nights in my shitty Ford Ranger I had back when I was like 18 at 3am with the windows down and this at full volume. Hope all is well up north, brothers. Keep your heads up.
Can't relate. I grew up in a tiny town surrounded by corn fields. Growing up in Philly sounds amazing. I absolutely love that city and the east coast as a whole.
@@manjon217 I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone say "growing up in philly sounds amazing"
Come here, you'll soon disagree.
This song hits different after 2020's covid pandemic
This
Yes
>after
lol
Where my Hoomans at?!?!
Being a ghost and abusing people is my aesthetic.
your icon make it 999999% better
same
Same and I don’t even mean to.
Tf is wrong with this generation. This song is obviously about a break up. The ghost was his career fading because he went awol and moved home.
@@seabee1025 because him and his girl broke up
Thanks Mumei i love this song
RIP Morgan Spurlock 🍔💛
I'm 22 now, it's 2016, and all I can do is cry when this comes on because time has been fucking flying by tooooo goddamn fast.
+bowmaa I'm waiting for the day when I listen to Passing Through a Screen Door when I'm 26 and alone.
34 and still listening to pop punk it was huge in when i was i growing up
2021 gang
@@ashigaramii__ me too homie. TH-cam just decided to let me know today that I had replies to this. Shoutout to everyone still defending Pop Punk. We're all in this together 🤟❤️
well now we're both 26.....u got any kids or a wife yet?
Shoutout to Mumei
A special Owl 🦉 brought me here.
I'm 27 years old and just NOW getting out of my home town. If I can, you can too. Embrace the dream, run away, LIVE. YOUR. LIFE!
R.I.P Morgan Spurlock
RIP MORGAN SPURLOCK
based Turnover pfp
8 years later and I'm still listening to this song
Here after Mumei's cover of this song on her karaoke stream and man, I have been missing out on some real bangers
RIP Morgan Spurlock
I honestly think this is one of the best songs In the world
This comment was just after I got into The Wonder Years, 5 months later I have tickets to see them next month :)
Same!
Couldn’t agree more. It brings every emotion in your life out in one song
Have you heard Alex Melton's cover of this? Pretty good.
the beatles music exist tho sooo... no.
HOOMAN GANG LESSSGOOOOOOOO
What an absolute banger of a song!
Honestly
These guys are definitely my age but sound like they're in high school but with a touch of lyrical genius, and a large helping of my life exactly.... I love it.
2020 has been a total rollercoaster for me (aside from the pandemic). Since only January, I've moved twice, studied at 2 universities and lived in 3 different countries. When he sang "I spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore" I really felt it.
Have things calmed down since that time? Asking for a friend 😅
Love my Owl
Didn't get Brand New tickets.
Didn't get the get up kids vinyl on record store day.
Tube blew in my rockerverb.
My 94 taurus broke down.
STILL HAVE MY FRIENDS.
The saddest part about this song is seeing the comment about the comments being from 4 years ago, be from 3 years ago
RIP Morgan Spurlock made me think of this song
sudden urge to dress up as a ghost and go mess up people's lives
Lots of likes
Welcome to 2020 mask up and go to town. Your time has arrived! 👊
I’m glad I’m not the only one
The singer looks like Dan Cambell from the Wonder Years. Wonder if they're related.
He also looks like that guy in Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties!!
John Calcerano Something doesn't add up here.....
Come to think of it, I've never seen any of them in the same room, and I hang out with them frequently. I think we might be on to something guys.
Wonder if they're related years.
he looks like Aaron West...strange
I'm pretty sure I have watched this video about 100x in the past 3 days. I can't stop listening to it. Its so good and just makes you feel that every things going to be okay at the end of the day.
why do we treat this band like they’re not essential to the genre
I totally agree with u
Literally the sound of pop punk
Philly came through. I'll never say anything bad about Philadelphia again.
CAME OUT SWINGING FROM A SOUTH PHILLY BASEMENT
i discovered this song because of a certain owl birb
This song makes me feel like nothing else can. It's amazing.
"At least we're never alone. I lost track of the time zones."
Soupy is such a damn good lyricist.
Respect 🤘❤
oh my god finally I found a wonder years song that isn't a slow tear jerker
They have like what, like, 5-10 slow tear jerker songs? You clearly haven't been looking too hard.
Loool ikr. I just couldn't get into them until I heard this
Melrose diner is a bright cheery work of art. duh fucker
geoff3610 you're bout to get fruit punched, homie.
I always sing my heart out every time I see them live... fucking love this band
I was Traveling the country for work while going through a divorce and missing my kids and this song got me through it all
I remember the fire near the beach.. screaming the end part of this song. Those were rough times, but its safe to appreciate under the half lit fluorescents of nostalgia.
punk lyrics are so specific lol
im sorry that it doesn't talk about big asses like your shitty pop music
Jesus calm down. Talk about jumping the gun.
chillax bro he's not even insulting punk lol
goddd why do pop punk fans think they're so cool bc they hate pop are you 12
no im 17 and im sorry i was having a bad day a friend of mine was diagnosed with bipolar.
Mumei bring me here
The theme song of everyone who was born in Philly and followed their dreams!!!
They’re from lansdale tho lol
Yessssssssss
@@buzznfrog6702 a hahaha suburban mothafuckas
Uh.. interesting seeing you here.
I never thought I’d see you here omg lol!
why does this song pump me up but also makes me literally cry
wonder years is when u realize it wasnt an angsty phase and youre a grown man who will always be emotional
People who hate on TWY obviously have no idea what real music is. They're one of the best bands to come out in very long time. It's not just the music, its the lyrics, the emotion and everything in between that make them so great. They know how to hit on all emotional levels.
The only reason I didn't like TWY at first was because I didn't like pop punk, but these guys are something else. I don't understand how they can get hate when they can play a genre and appeal to people who don't even like that genre.
i honestly have always been really turned off by pop punk. until i heard these guys. theyr fucking great.
Lyrically there good I just hate the pop punk sound
Andrew Guerrero This comment is 4 years old but check out their newest album. It’s less pop punk and more indie/alternative sounding
The Instrumentals are just boring, bro, like the 3 same chords in root position
I've been in and out of being homeless for the last two years. The Wonder Years have gotten me through every single second of it. Don't know what I'd do without em.
I hope things got better
REAL FRIENDS, TRANSIT, THE WONDER YEARS, THIS WILD LIFE, MAN OVERBOARD, CITIZEN, AND THE STORY SO FAR. Best pop punk bands out right now:)
Though I've known about TWY for years, since I lost MCR they have become the band I relate to and saved my life. New favourite band.
The first time I heard this song I thought to myself, everything's gonna be ok. I've found the wonder years.
That's how I felt when I found Streetlight Manifesto
This band continues to save my life on a daily!!! Low tide and goddamnitall fuck! All the Arron west albums when my mom died and now that my wife of 13 years left this bands music is the only thing I have! And I’m so thankful!!
thanks for making pop-punk alive!
So glad the Owl showed me this band, I instantly became a big fan. Easily my favorite group I ever heard. I had a blast at their show in Cleveland a couple week ago.
I don't think I've ever liked a music video more than the song itself. Damn.
Damn this song makes me feel like everything is going to be okay
It is.
I just saw these guys in st louis they are incredible I've been a fan for over 10years now if you get a chance to watch them live please do
The fans really showed up, Red Flag was rocking
This song turns 10 this year and i dont know how to feel about that
Punk never dies, 42 year old Rocker.
I don't think I will ever not completely love and relate to this song 'I'm getting there' :)
this ghost is such a savage
true.
What ghost?
This band is so awesome!
the wonder years literally helped me grow from a teenager to an adult, a lot has changed but sometimes I feel like I still have to come back and listen to these guys just to touch base. Helps me understand who I am, who I've been, and where I'm going.
It's 2017 and this song still resonates deeply with me...
im positive this is my favourite music video ever.
same
yeeee
same :)
Always find my way back to this song
I love how the song has a depressing element, but it concludes with a positive message. I just saw these guys live in SF earlier this month. The circle pit, the lights, the energy... such a great show.
I'm a weird nerd from the Philadelphia suburbs and this song really hits me
Same but from the other side of the country
thats so much how I feel, when I get this certain feeling.... great guys
I love the wonder years so much
I love the sound from this era. Not to say every song sounded like this somehow, lol, but...I really liked it.
They we're good, Saw them during the House Party Tour.
#DrummersArePeopleToo
Still representing in 2024-25!!!!!
The drums in the instrumental part makes me so happy
Mumei bring me here too.
The kid in this video is an absolute menace 💀
My all time fav song!
Literally nothing is better than this
when they played this song at the HOUSE PARTY TOUR, i just went into a euphoric state. This song and the band holds so much meaning to me and helped me out a lot throughout these years; and to be able to jump and scream out the lyrics while slamming into a bunch of people, i just couldnt be more happy..
Shout out to the drummer's Defeater shirt
+mac cavanah Defeater? I hardly know her.
I love how they close with this song at shows, I'll be dead tired, but when this song comes on I get so hype
i never asked you what song this was. i think of you everyday.
R.I.P. Hank The Pigeon - The Wonder Years weren't there for him.
What happened to him
+OldSchoolAddict James found him, and ran him over.
+SinisterSparkelz z He became a shitty Coney that I had no choice but to eat.
IIVICEII I've seen the streams, it checks out...
I think the drummer is one of the best drummers living today. He's insanely good.
Brady Moore must agree. Mike is incredible. He just got endorsed by Zildjan too.
Cody Rosenbalm mike kennedy is a bad friend tho
Brady Moore The drums in I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral confirm it xD
Brady Moore not even close df, hes a good drummer but there are FARR better drummers than him
Brady Moore He's one of the best in the genre but nah man, I love TWY and I play along to their songs a lot but there are many and more drummers better than Mike
This song....hits me everytime
Brings me back to my days in middle school... odd times
Always a classic
why am I crying, dude
I tattooed the bridge of this song on my forearm to help me with my depression. “I spent the winter writing songs about getting better. If I’m being honest, I’m getting there” and I’m getting more lyrics tattooed on me in the next month or so.
This song will always make me think of the 2023 Eagles after they lost the super bowl to the Chiefs. That may not make much sense to non-football fans, but it works for me
That's interesting
