My ex and I stayed together for nearly a year out of fear of change. We knew it wasn't right. Finally we ended it, but I'm 2,000 miles from my hometown. So I've spent the last 6 months on her family's couch; and I've watched her fall in love with someone else. And I've also gotten to the point where I'm actually okay (in ways, for now). So when he says, "Cause I've been in search of some steadier footing or just a place to call home. I know that I'm introspective when broken but I've been spending most of my nights here alone; and that doesn't scare me like it did a year ago." I can fucking feel it..
Finishing a dream this morning, a few seconds before I woke up I hear "I'll put my life back together in silence while writing songs on Marley's guitar." it was the best thing to wake up too.
This is the best TWY song except for I just wanna sell out my funeral. Although I haven’t listened to this song or band in a very very long time, for some reason these three brief moments are in my head almost every day. 0:32 1:53 3:06 They are just very pleasant and well sung and a lot of heart goes into them.
I come from the near future to tell you that they're currently touring NA, anniversary tour for this album and Upsides. Bought myself a ticket, hope you're able to do the same 🤘🏻
The Wonder Years are great, I have recently got back into their music after not listening to them in a while and I see why I liked them in the first place. Their new stuff is awesome
Heard this on Spotify yesterday for first time in a long time. I used to love this album constantly quoted lyrics from it in my Tumblr days in my early 20s now back at age 34

@@bobthedopeman7327 Yeah I only know a few people who know them, maybe only two, the friend who introduced me to them and my partner. I live in New Zealand, and these guys are my favorite band, Soupy has got to be my favorite lyricist and vocalist. Utter poetry, great take, he really is like the Ginsberg of this generation, between this and Aaron West.
If you like TWY, you should definitely read America by Allen Ginsberg. He's an awesome poet and there are so many America references in this album. Fucking awesome lyrics.
I can't help myself I keep ending up in Memorial Park Breaking finger nails while I claw at the frozen ground Because as long as I'm home I can dig up these bones There's no point to just letting go And as long as you've known me I've been backing out slowly I won't end up underneath the snow This is where it's been The manger scene every Christmas Next to the cannon Every year someone steals baby Jesus Nobody stops them It's a nice tradition I'll put my life back together in silence While writing songs on Molly's guitar And Suburbia, stop pushing I know what I'm doing So I moved myself and two boxes of things To the basement room at Richie's house And I'm happy here for now Because I've been in search of some steadier footing Or just a place to call home I know that I'm introspective when broken But I've been spending most of my nights here alone And that doesn't scare me like it did a year ago I'll put my life back together in silence While writing songs on Molly's guitar And Suburbia, stop pushing I know what I'm doing Suburbia, stop pushing I know what I'm doing Suburbia, stop pushing I know what I'm doing I had dreams of myself As the Allen Ginsberg of this generation But without the talent, madness or vision I guess it's looking hopeless We're a city left digging out cars in unison And humming like we've healed I know we've got miles to go But I'm putting my shoulder to the wheel
The switch from 6/8 to 6/4 at 3:40 is so smooth
So damn good.
underrated twy song, one of my all time favs
Very much so.
"Every year someone steals baby Jesus. Nobody stops them. It's a nice tradition.." Probably the greatest lyric ever. Well done boys, well done indeed.

I can fucking feel it..
D C - it's been a year. Hopefully you grew a pair.
It's been two years man, hope you're feeling better
Hope you found your way to feel better!
The love from these comments is amazing
It's been five years, hope you're doing well man.
That opening guitar riff is infectious.
Best TWY song in my opinion. Everyone can feel this.

That's chill... but its Molly's Guitar. (Dont push pls. I know what I'm doing)

They are just very pleasant and well sung and a lot of heart goes into them.
And the song is in 3/4 time signature! I love when bands do that. Needs to happen more often.
I only discovered them a couple years ago and now they’re my favorite band
I live in the town referenced in this song (Lansdale), and the lyrics just... they hit me. hard.
I wish they still played this music live. Now it's all from the latest two albums and a handful of songs from this one
At least Greatest Generation is good though

This is my FAVORITE song by The Wonder Years!

best Christmas song ever
That outro is such a fantastic and fitting way to end this song. Anyone have a tab?
I always forget about Suburbia. I love this song.
Thanks for the memories,
2011 was a great Year
Dude. Imo you are the Allen Ginsberg of this generation.
Truly
@@itcouldbelupus2842 it's nice to see people coming back to these songs. I'm the only person I know who even knows this band...
@@bobthedopeman7327 Yeah I only know a few people who know them, maybe only two, the friend who introduced me to them and my partner.

tab 1- suburbia
tab 2- i've given you all
tab 3- and now i'm nothing
i heard this song yesterday, and i've hit replay at least 100 times since then. i'm obsessed.
I WON'T END UP UNDERNEATH THE SNOWWWWWWW~~~!
This slaps still in 2023. Such nostalgia
best outro ever in a pop-punk song
Definitely the best song on Suburbia.
RainbwPowrRangr agree
Love this band! They deserve more love
Fuck this drummer is so fire
Nossa carinha, vá dizer
the best way to close the perfect record
i must of repeated this 100 times. eargasm!
saves the day
So very true
The wonder years have THEE Best lyrics!
If you like TWY, you should definitely read America by Allen Ginsberg. He's an awesome poet and there are so many America references in this album. Fucking awesome lyrics.
i came hear to say this also, but beat me to it lol
Tied for first as my favorite song on the album
A start of a new year with wonder years :D
Everyday is a wonder years kind of day.
I can't help myself
I keep ending up in Memorial Park
Breaking finger nails while I claw at the frozen ground
Because as long as I'm home
I can dig up these bones
There's no point to just letting go
And as long as you've known me I've been backing out slowly
I won't end up underneath the snow
This is where it's been
The manger scene every Christmas
Next to the cannon
Every year someone steals baby Jesus
Nobody stops them
It's a nice tradition
I'll put my life back together in silence
While writing songs on Molly's guitar
And Suburbia, stop pushing
I know what I'm doing
So I moved myself and two boxes of things
To the basement room at Richie's house
And I'm happy here for now
Because I've been in search of some steadier footing
Or just a place to call home
I know that I'm introspective when broken
But I've been spending most of my nights here alone
And that doesn't scare me like it did a year ago
I'll put my life back together in silence
While writing songs on Molly's guitar
And Suburbia, stop pushing
I know what I'm doing
Suburbia, stop pushing
I know what I'm doing
Suburbia, stop pushing
I know what I'm doing
I had dreams of myself
As the Allen Ginsberg of this generation
But without the talent, madness or vision
I guess it's looking hopeless
We're a city left digging out cars in unison
And humming like we've healed
I know we've got miles to go
But I'm putting my shoulder to the wheel
0:34 favorite part
i'll put my shoulder to the wheel!
suburbia stop pushing I know what I'm doing
I fucking love this song so much
One person didn't know what they were doing so suburbia kept pushing
I can't decide which album is better, Upsides or Suburbia... then again I guess it doesn't really matter...
or hoodie weather?
Why does this have so little views? o.o It's such a good song & such a fucking amazing band.
Shoulder to the wheel
My grandma has them
That doesn't scare me like it did a year ago.
Dang it suburbia! Stop pushing me! I know what I'm doing, gosh!
Like yes like.
Suburbia stop pushing, I know what I'm doing!
No, I get it... It's a tie for first. With all of them!!!! :P
0 dislikes is what i fucking thought
oh wow, an odd time signature! proof that they're post-hardcore and not pop punk
Pancakes
no
Lol, stay posi, bro.
