Wonder Years, The - A Song For Patsy Cline Lyrics
My airbag light's been on for weeks
And I keep having dreams
Where I go through the windshield but I don't fix it.
Patsy Cline came and sang to me.
She told everybody
I hear you cry on "Faded Love".
The air in August here's heavy with salt and smoke and stings my lungs.
My airbag light's been on for weeks
And I can feel it mock me.
It's bittersweet, like laughter through crooked teeth.
I wanna move so far from everything
That they can hear my heart beat
And then break as I lay dying in the street.
They'll think the ice cracked at the lake.
They'll think a tire blew out and a car crashed on the interstate.
It's hard to watch you walk away.
These aren't the vultures that were circling just yesterday.
It's hard to watch you walk away.
(It's hard to watch you walk away.)
They're picking at bones, at what's left of your misery.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
So when my vocal chords rip,
So when my knees give in,
So when I bury all of this,
Who's gonna give a shit
If I'm breathing?
It's hard to watch you walk away.
These aren't the vultures that were circling just yesterday.
It's hard to watch you walk away.
(It's hard to watch you walk away.)
They're picking at bones, at what's left of your misery.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
My airbag light's been on for weeks.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
My airbag light's been on for weeks.

Wonder Years, The A Song For Patsy Cline Comments
Found an old pair of apple headphones 2006 era these jawns bang
This is such a good album
Yoooo I just realized
This is literally car-crash rhetoric
This is beautifully composed.
patsy cline's son is a huge dick
This band used to be me and my best friend's band. It was our thing.... I'm listening to them tonight and actually feeling like crying. I miss her so much....
Where did she go?
So much emotion, man. I can't hear this one or Devil in my bloodstream without a few tears.
this songs deep
kody huck Your picture is literally me rn.
Shit dude
This is my first time listening to this band and I'm in love
same. friend just turned me on to this. I'm really impressed.
Just realised I missed their tour and I'm actually so upset, I discovered them just too late...
Who's gonna give a shit if I'm breathing?
The emotion in that line fucks me up so bad.
The emotion in all their songs tear me up.
ear porn.
R.I.P Mrs.Cline and my manliness,I Cried like a bitch
the vultures.....
i love pizza
Holy shit, I fucking love this song!
Patsy cline came and sang to me
She told everybody
phenomenal with just one earbud in. faint guitar, mostly drums and vocals.
That sounded awesome. Just tried listening it to it that way.
Soooooooooooo blah
Remember when these guys used to write pop punk?....... just me?
I remembered and I missed it.
Devin Doran new stuff is much better lol
this still is pop punk its just "mature pop punk"
Fell in love with this song first listen, still just as full of feels a hundred times later
Balance the Wonder Years and Composure
What genre is this song? Post-rock?
+Ahmad Zarif Post-Hardcore maybe
+Steven JamesH pop punk... Duh
There's nothing Pop about it though
its pop punk
Seriously love the progression they've made in their music throughout the years. The whole band is full of fucking geniuses.
I really wasn't sure what to expect from this album considering it was said they had "matured." However I really really like this.
Anyone know what this songs about?
+FTWinnick It's a song about relating to a sense of impending doom, much like what happened to Patsy Cline herself at the end of her life.
More info on: http://genius.com/The-wonder-years-a-song-for-patsy-cline-lyrics/
After reading all that the line "my airbag light has been on for weeks" just takes a whole new chilling meaning.
+Paulo Brant Yeah eventually. Were all going to die.
This is better than I was expecting.
yes... ohhh yes..
Reminds me of Top Notch by Manchester Orchestra. A lot.
+Nintendodo64 it's the start-stop guitars.
in fact the beginning feels a bit sidekicks, brand new
+Anil Seepersad yes!! just found this band. hearing brand new hard. this band is amazing.
Pure Awesomeness! TWY never disappoints :D
this song gives me feels
Soupy west and the roaring years
This whole album is amazing, but this might be my favorite
Anyone know what tuning this is in? This definitely isn't Drop C#
Could be Drop C# cuz I'm pretty sure cardinals was
+Dan Claymiller The really low guitar is probably a baritone guitar.
+Dan Claymiller Two guitars, I'm guessing Matt's and Casey's, are tuned to drop C#, while 1 guitar, probably Nick's, is a baritone guitar tuned to (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, F, Bb). I'm pretty sure this is right. I'm thinking about actually doing a cover doing all three guitar parts and tabbing them.
@Ed Allison thanks, that's actually what I figured after thinking about it
+Ed Allison Let me know when you get around that. I would love to see!
They've really moved away from the sound they had in The Upsides. Not that I mind that though; they've really grown better with each album.
it's weird because my air bag light has been on for 5 weeks now... Great song
Chills.
brilliant
thanks for making a girl cry in class 😍
+Sam Sears I wish I was your student lol
+theonebuckethead Students know not to fuck with my morning ritual of playing several of TWY songs before class... you feel me?
@Sam Sears All my teachers are 60 year old ladies lmao
Luckily I'm neither 60 nor a lady!
The build up to that chorus sucker punched my heart in the asshole. In a good way.
Zachary I'm also a Zachary and I approve this message
This entire album is pure bliss, man.
It's a beautiful album. Makes me cry.
Damn! I love it!
4th to react on this video :O
I'll be back after work for this mark my words
Thank you spicy
+Justin Leonard This guy.
