Wonder Years, The - Came Out Swinging 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
Well, 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
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 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
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

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
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
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

  28. m.... D....

    MOVED ALL MY SHIT TO MY PARENTS BASEMENT

  29. Y.... 5....

    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
    Well, 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
    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 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
    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

    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
    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

    And if I'm being honest, I'm getting there

    "My heart says to stay young, my lower back seems to disagree.."

  31. R.... H....

    The problem is that this product has been put out over and over again. This is the first time I’ve heard this song, but I’ve heard this song sooo many times ya know what I’m saying?

  32. M.... ....

    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.

  33. m.... c....

    waffle house and late nights talking about rough shit.

  34. w.... ....

    Local ghost too angry to die

  35. J.... A....

    Oozin aahhs

  36. J.... B....

    How many pop-punk kid does it take to fix a light bulb?



    Doesn't matter, as long as it's with their friends

  37. S.... ....

    Who is listening in 2022?

  38. D.... ....

    Pop punk might hurt but at least it wont pretend it wont.

  39. N.... M....

    Jamie C This is good but I still think he sounds like as if u were crying & singing @ the same time lol

  40. A.... P....

    Throwing in a shameless plug for our music. We took inspiration from TWY and similar music. Come check us out! (:

    A.... P....

    These guys rock. We got to get them know.

  41. D.... B....

    GOT DAM THIS SONG STILL GETS ME

  42. A.... J....

    2019 and this is unfortunately exactly how I feel right now HAHA

  43. I.... T....

    This video makes me want to start an outsider pop punk band and sing about why I hate my surroundings

  44. W.... ....

    I came out drunken from a south Clarkton yard. My heart keeps saying stay young, but my back and shoulders say second guess that. Real talk I don't know what I'm doing, and the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger yet is because I can't stand to think I woke Shelby up that way.

    W.... ....

    Beautiful.

  45. C.... R....

    This track hits me hard

  46. C.... R....

    I spent these years as a ghost and I'm not sure where heart is anymore ...

  47. T.... A....

    Fucking classic af pop punk anthem
