Lyrics:
I'm pulling wings off insects. I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin. I'll wait outside your
bedroom; I hope they let me in. Filling your prescriptions, the orange bottles stare me
down. They're standing at attention-an army on your windowsill. We're all waiting for
good news; hoping you can come home soon. We're all waiting for good news. I've been
acting like I'm strong, but the truth is, I've been losing ground to a hospital too crowded
and a summer winding down. I hadn't seen a heart break until now. I hadn't felt a heartbreak
until now. I grew up on your back porch. I watched the storms light up the clouds.
They hung like paper lanterns to guide the way back towards your house. I've been
putting off long flights hoping that you'll be alright. I'll be there in the meantime. If I'm
in an airport and you're in a hospital bed, what kind of man does that make me?

The Wonder Years are pop punk for people in their 30s. So grateful for this band
So are The Menzingers
I turn 30 last year and then I igot into this band literally the next month.
Im 27 but pls dont call me out like this
I got into them at 18 but my life is fucked up and I had to mature so makes sense 🙃
If you're cerebral, sad, pensive, and a bit irreverent, you're probably a fan of TWY. This also makes you an awesome human.
That fact that this album is 7 years old and still ahead of the times for pop punk NOW in 2021. God love the wonder years.
Damn, the whole band kills it every fucking time.
How does he sing this without crying? I literally cannot do it.
This band helps me through so much. No one will ever know what this band means to me.
+Spencer Cowan twy Are like therapy to me there one of the few rare awesome bands that does this for me
+Spencer Cowan Me too. It's like they bottled up how it feels being in your mid twenties and recorded it straight onto CD
Same!
One of the few mature relatable bands in the pop punk world. This song is my anthem - drove across the country this summer to be with my family after grandfather passed away. Hits home
+Rusty Sarkela i kinda relate bc my pap had a heart attack and got brain damage from it this past summer and i relate to this a lot. I really love this band 💗
My anthem too
This song is about Dan's grandfather being sick in the hospital after a triple bypass after a series of heart attacks. They left on tour the day of the surgery and were on tour throughout it. Hope the song and video make sense for those of you still confused on it.
Thanks!! I hadn't totally got it until now.
I lost my mother this month to cancer. This is so relatable it hurts
I lost my mom to cancer too in February (2024) this song broke me
My grandmother is losing her battle with cancer, and i’m stuck working my 9-5 so i don’t end up on the streets. I most likely won’t be there in her last days.
This song hits hard. It hurts like hell. But I needed to hear it again.
(ETA: I made it home on thanksgiving. She died 6 hours after I left. This went from hurting to HURTING man).
this band is da fakkin bomb! had almost forgotten about this record, gotta listen to it now!
Best album of 2013 dudeee
I'm glad to see a band that has been around this long, finally get their due. One of the best 2013. I love the sound they have found. I used to think they were Bad poppy punk band. They are falling into the right music space of indie with the likes of Brand New, Thrice, and The Sounds. Artists with their own amazing sound.
The chorus in this song hits like a freight train filled with choir singers
'If I'm in an airport and your in a hospital bed, what kind of man does that make me...' deep shit right there!
Pop punk, this is just a great melodic rock song with amazing lyrics.
I don't get why people call them pop punk. Their music seems much more like Emo as it has screaming, frequent tempo shifts, odd time signatures and confessional lyrics. Not really that poppy
I can't tell you how much this hits home in 2020. My grandfather is in the hospital and I can't see him because of COVID. I'm not expecting great news and my family can't be together to support each other.
i can relate to this. my dad died of covid. and i didn't get to see him to say goodbye
This whole album, but this video in particular, is so meaningful I love it.
Normie on your windowsill
They killed it at HOB anaheim last night. Screamed this song at the top of my lungs. 2 of my aunts have cancer now and this speaks to me like no other. Quickly became one of my favorite bands ever!
My grandfather figure who had been there for me throughout my life died from lung cancer early this year (2017) and I listened to this on repeat during that time. I love this song and it will always have a special place in my heart 💗
They're so perfect it makes me want to cry.
I can't hold all these feels..
THE WONDER BEARDS!!!!
Look out Four Year Strong!
We got a new Beardcore band
hahaha four beard strong are legends dudee!
Kevin Ocampo I laughed WAY too hard at that.
xScreamToRisex very true
I sing the bridge so hard when blasting this song in my car.
"Hadnt felt a heartbreak until now.."
Me the last couple months dealing with my moms death. I miss you mom
This song makes me think about my grandfather and all the good times I spent with him and the fact that I don't want him to go away
+OldSchoolAddict ive been seeing mine age and lose his strength my dad left me and he stepped in and now hes losing his strength and some of his memory its hard and this song helps me with it
+Shawn Crawford I'm sorry to hear that. I agree though this song definitely does help
We''re on August 2023 and I'm still here! This song is a lifetime theme! Awesome dudes!
Just saw these guys last night for the first time. They opened with this song and it was crazy.
Hearing this live makes it so much better.
I really wish they had a video for every song on this album. Would be so worth it
Just discovered this band and there freakin awesome and a pigeon for a mascot what is more awesome than that
Part of this is about a grandparent having a serious illness and not being able to be there for them (presumably because of touring). In previous albums he's referenced his anxiety like collapsing in an Outback Steakhouse when he learned an album leaked (I forget if it's The Upsides or Suburbia) or when they toured the UK etc. Obviously, it's also about how his family/friends tire of having to deal with his issues (it's a shame but it happens) and maybe how his pales in comparison to his grandparent(s).
he went on tour when his g-pa was in the hospital and almost died and he wasnt their so they disowned him
Saddest part is that his grandpa just died and he couldn't be at the funeral because he was touring
@@SigfriedBigcheeseVanMemelordII that's what the song Raining In Kyoto was about, they were touring in Japan.
I saw them play this song recently in RI. It is still one of my favorites from them. If you hear it live it is even better!
Soupy...... im so thankful for you
His beard is my spirit animal
I didn´t know about this band until this video and they´re pretty awesome
They're VERY awesome! Totally check out the rest of their music!!
***** All their stuff is equally great
they kew
One of the fucking best bands of the latest years. And the whole "The Greatest Generation" is just amazing.
I actually love this band so much
Absolute genius! This video, this song, this band. Nothing but flawless.
Words can not express my love for this band.
God that bass fill at 0.59 sec. is so BEASTT!
I can't wait to see them at WARPED TOUR.
I saw them for the second time this warped tour and they always put on an amazing show
I know you're meant to respect other people's musical opinions, but if you don't love this you're simply wrong.
At first i just thought the video just was random clips. And then when i realized that he had gotten replaced by a doll it became really sad xD
Deep stuff Soupy, deep stuff... I feel your pain man.
His writing is something else...
this song in the midst of covid is devastating
Simply amazing. These guys never cease to impress.
excellent band ♥!!!! I want to see them playing for South America
The Wonder Beards
Once again, it's awesome.
This is my favourite song off this album. Quite pleased that they made a video for it. Brightened up my day a bit.
My dad passed away when I was in my Freshmen year in High School 23 years ago. I just heard this song a day ago while I had my #applemusic library on shuffle and I just broke down
seeing these amazing men in concert tonight!!!
It baffles me that Soupy can have a receding hairline and still grow one of the manliest beards I've ever seen.
It must be where all his hair goes
I know this... from experience
Who the fuck is soupy
Angel Mateo the vocalist bitch
Hair genes for everyone are weird. My dad had a full beard by the end of high school and no hair by 20 and im 20 and am still filling my beard out and had a full head of hair before i got an undercut
Song is so good, the video is sad. Their lyrics always hit me hard.
I agree, I forgot about this. I need to listen to this album ASAP
Much love from India.
that bass riff though.
I literally yelled oh shit! at 1:01
Greatest band ever
+kourtney rasberry The Greatest Band of The Greatest Generation
Saw these guys open for all time low the other night, didnt know who they were but theyre super talented dudes!!
The guitar setup for this band has changed so much since the last record.
this album is so important to me, and im sure it is to many others
Happy New Year!
Kennedy is such a good drummer.
Soupy's beard game is strong right now
These guys r music immortality
watching random videos at 240p reminds me of my childhood
I love this song and this band so much
Pause at 1:50 and read...
god DAMN IT :'(!!!
FUCK YOU AND THE FEELS
DAMMIT
FUCK YOU AND THOSE FUCKING FEEL FUCKING STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR IM GOING TO CRY
epicnate98 fucking heartbreaking
what an incredible band, honestly..
I love the video. So real it hurts.
Favorite song off The Greatest Generation! So stoked you guys released a video for it!
My favorite!
0:31 awkwardly over shouting the words haha
EvanMohrDrums Hey nice name.
Haha! I thought the same exact thing.
That thicc bass slide into the riff tho
perfect.
I'm about to get really emotional so deal with it.
I come back to this song a lot. I can't always listen to it unless I'm alone so I can cry like a wuss.
If you listen to this song with this information in mind, you'll understand why its one of my all time favorite songs and why it makes me so emotional every time I hear it.
A few years ago my favorite person, my grandma, passed away and it doesn't hurt any less but this is the song that makes me feel it the most and sometimes I just have to feel it because holding it in makes it worse.
"And we're all waiting for good news, hoping you can come home soon"
Everyone in my family waited to hear when the hospital said my grandma could come home.
"I've been acting like I'm strong but the truth is I've been losing ground"
Reminds me of when I visited my grandma in the hospital every day and smiled at her and had normal conversations with her but inside I was breaking wishing I could take her home.
"I haven't felt a heartbreak until now"
I thought I knew what heartbreak was before but when she died I felt my heart literally shatter.
"If I'm in an airport and you're in a hospital bed, well then, what kind of man does that make me?"
Reminds me of how I thought I had more time to see her so I skipped one day and stayed home and that was the day she died and I thought, what kind of granddaughter does that make me? I was her favorite person and she was mine. I should have been there every day.
I don't know if anyone will actually read this or if anyone has a similar story, but I just thought I'd share. I relate to almost every Wonder Years song, but always probably in a different way than what the lyrics were written about and I think that's what makes music beautiful.
PS: Dan is probably one of, if not my favorite lyricist ever and a huge inspiration to me to write lyrics years ago and now I'm 24 and still can't start a band but writing lyrics has always gotten me through a bunch of shit and of course Wonder Years' lyrics has also gotten me through a bunch of shit.
I hope you don’t mind a stranger commenting, but I wonder if you know about the common situation where loved ones will wait to be alone before they pass. I’ve heard various theories about why this happens and I believe the most frequent reason is to spare their loved ones the pain of being there when they pass. Maybe staying home that day gave her the chance to let go. You may have given her the gift of peace that day, knowing she could let go without hurting you further.
I hope peace has found you in the last 5 years.
Take care.
@@Peaceandlight74 thank you for the kind words
Absolutely love these guys!
damn. soupy's beard is extreme.
*sigh* This song brings back Warped Tour memories
What I want:
1. The drummer's sweater
2. Soupy mannequin
Love this video!!!!!!! cant wait to see them on the 18th and Starland!!!!!!
YESSSSSS EARGASMS!!!!!!
this song is my favorite the wonder years song
I love this. Really great. I also love the filter used when Soupy's looking in through the window towards the end.
From the heart!we feel it huh..?
Love this band.
This is such a great video for such a great song. I'm seeing you guys on April 18th, which is literally Good Friday ahah. I'm so excited to see you guys and all the other bands on tour! I'll be waiting from about 10 in the morning so I'll see you there!
Definitely my favourite pop-punk band ever
So good.
instant smiles...absolutely perfect...thank you guys for your inspiring and life saving music
The Wonder Years Rock!
reminds me of old Sum 41
No
+Cocobro97 I was thinking new found glory
Ugh I love this album so much!
The music of this song is upbeat but when you look at the lyrics, holy shit is it depressing.
All the feels man, all the feels.
Their drummer reminds me of this girl I dated my junior year. I miss you Tessa....
how...?
Wtf
They're both bad friends.
+Sharptoothwmhc nice pun
AWESOME!!
Crazy good
Awesome song to make a video for, and great video for it.
Masterpiece.
