Wonder Years, The - I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral Lyrics

What a way to end an album. What a song The Wonder Years. Thank you

Gonna be 2020 in awhile but still here I just wanna sell out this decade

Out of all the new wave poppunk bands and just pun rock in general, this band will stand the tests of time. They will always be my top five, ever since 8th grade. My god this band has influenced me so much, thank you The Wonder Years and company. My music will carry on this sound in the way you guys evolved upon other sounds. thank you.

We all want to be great men/woman

very clever the way they have wrote this album

2019 and here i am again

Tbh, I mostly listen to early 2000s pop-punk, so I never really decided to click on The Wonder Years when they showed up in my recommendations, but dang I'm happy i did. What a great band!

Shameless plug for out music. We took inspiration from TWY and similar artists. Come check us out. (:

I can listen to this song whenever, but I always make sure to listen to it on February 11, the anniversary of my grandfather's passing. I had just gotten into TWY when he got sick, and this song came on when my mom called me to tell me he had passed. I miss you, Grandpa.

There's a devil on my shoulder, he's got a rocking chair on my front porch, but I won't let him in. No, I wont let him in.

still my all time favorite song

Haunting and beautiful. MY personal favourite TWY song. Only play it during formative moments of my life and it helps me through.

Is this the greatest album of all time?

Selling out my funeral is what I live for

Nada que agregar. No doy más. Esta canción lo tiene todo.

Just discovered. Just approved <3

SORRY I DON'T LAUGH AT THE RIGHT TIMES

Somewhere down the line all the wiring went faulty...

Fall out boys

I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me.

Alejandra Muñoz Alegria

Everyday inner struggles to overcome.

Masterpiece!

"I'm staring up at the sky but the bombs keep fucking falling" wow

I remember you guys playing this at the end of your concert in 2012 and I remember I bought tickets that night and went. I bawled and sung with my arm up and you held my hand and I was given the guitar pick. Thank you guys for helping us be in touch with the emotions we don't know how express properly. We all love you so fucking much.

HOL Y FUCKING SHIT

still get goosebumps when this song comes on my spotify

Alright Loved ones, when I die this song will all make sense... Lol... This is my theme song.

"I used to have such steady hands, but now I can't keep them from shaking.." this hits me hard because that's exactly me..

I'm hearing this song for the first time in four years and it's giving me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, corny I know but the wonder years got me through some tough times.

This song is the pinnacle of punk pop. It's easily the most masterfully composed, emotionally driving and powerful song in the genre. I've listened to punk pop for 12 years now, and absolutely nothing has lived up to my experience when I first heard this masterpiece.

I FEEL LEFT BEHIND

It's been a good couple years since I first heard this album, but I still get chills whenever that outro kicks in. This band makes music in a really special, heartstring-tugging way that nobody else can.

This outro reminds me of Boys Night Out album, Trainwreck. It's like it wraps up the whole concept of the album so this is definitely ending up as my favorites.

I feel like this whole album is talking about Shinji Ikari's life...

I just wanna know that I did all that I could with what I was given.

THE HANKS JUST KEEP FUCKIN FALLIN

Literally my favorite twy song.

I just want to be enough for everyone...

this is the best song to come from our generation

I wish the fan made lyric video didnt get taken down.

Vandal1zer SAME. I WAS LOOKING FOR IT

god this album is incredible. I can relate to every single song. It's like they took scenes from my life and put them to music. absolutely amazing

i love how they manage to put most of the songs into their last song, what a way to end an album <3

This song is so beautiful

EPIC song.

I listen to this song everyday.

this is the greatest pop punk song of all time

post emo

@Alex Mckinlay Greatest generation would have been considered "Emo-Pop" if it was released in 1999 - 2001

@Alex Mckinlay Yes

FUCK I LOVE THE WONDER YEARS

honestly this song means so much to me

+Sierra Glaister this whole album does

Song sums up everything for me about life. How I feel at the best of times!

the best song off this album because it includes a lot of the lyrics from the other songs.

Just about to say this lol

There's no devil on my shoulder, he's got a rocking chair on my front porch but I won't let him in.

i keep coming back to this...

then stop.

This is the most beautiful song in existence.

Sorry i dont laugh at the right times..

Shit. This explains my life too much.

I honestly really relate to "I'm awkward and nervous" more than I should

+Arian hmn shhh no everyone has to be a special snowflake

All that matters is being happy with yourself. Fuck everything else. And hellz yeah to the guy with the Orchid picture!

that's awkward...haha just kidding

In all seriousness, awkward is a man made feeling. 9 times out of 10 we are our own most thorough critics. Just remember what is important to you

Steve Olson Im diagnosed with social anxiety, and i mean ive gotten better, but im still awkward.

Beautiful lyrics. I want some of them tattooed on me

"... I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times " CUE HAUNTING GOOSEBUMPS

Check out the two songs from Renditions by letlive, specifically The Dope Beat as Soupy sings the bridge towards the end.

this song's the TL;DR for the album

+Matt Fulwider But It's maybe the best TL;DR ever :)

Patrik Pospíšil TL:DL ftfy

Matt Fulwider i

IamBlite e

Still the best song i've ever heard

Hey Everyone! I just made a Fan Made video to There, There! I hope you guys check it out! I just thought it'd be fun haha

every single time I hear this I wanna cry

It must be fucking daunting to have to follow this record. But I have no doubt that The Wonder Years are capable of it. Every record is leagues beyond the one before it.

+Mr. Boyer No Closer to Heaven is amazing musically the only thing that drags it down are the imperfections in production.

I agree 100% lyrically and musically stunning, meanwhile the production was shoddy on a lot of the tracks.

So I'm practically a new huge fan, and I listened to No Closer To Heaven before I listened to this album. And now I'm thinking about how insane it must have really been to follow up from this record during the time. In ways this album was just ages better, even though I do insanely love their newest stuff as well.

The fact they tie in almost every other song on the album (I think they leave out Madalyn) makes it so perfect. Its almost like a gift for the fans who listen to the whole album enough to catch it. It seriously brings out the feels. Its hard not to tear up.

@Eric Twing I think they also leave out "An American Religion", "We Could Die Like This", and "Chaser" I might just not be hearing those parts though

+Sean Kraus I think you could be right, is it not just the singles or more known songs? Regardless, it's rad.

+Seán Cumiskey Has Part Of Cul-de-Sacs?

+Cris Brothers "can you walk me home" in the background

Madelyn's in there. "I know how it's all gonna end" references the line "I know how it ends."

Tried listening to this and I respectfully declined. Sorry folks. Thought this would sound a bit different.

i wish i could heard this for the first time again. it hit me like a fucking bomb when i first heard "i'm sorry i don't laugh at the right times" trigger the outro

Karl Kridner g

I often think about that with songs I love as well. This song still gives me feels but the first time was a fucking experience.

Nah, when the 'Raindance In Traffic' lyric hits, that's when it starts.

"I was kinda hoping you'd stay" will always be my lyric

This is the realest comment I’ve ever read..

this band should come to Memphis TN that would be so BOSS

i feel like i can't listen to just one song off this CD. I have to listen to all 13 tracks in a row so that this song can just destroy me at the end lmao

absolutely right

I was kinda hoping you'd stay

listen to Adam West and the Roaring twentys

@Repordo Arron West*

@SBx James I know it was a joke

i never thought a song could get me all tear jerky until i heard this.
fucking amazing.
Its so inspiring from a songwriters standpoint as well. 

I have seen them live 2 times they always close there concerts with this song

fav. The Wonder Years song, just pays homage to their whole "The Greatest Generation" album, don't know if I could ever get old of this.

I dunno. Cul-De-Sac is ridiculous catchy.

+the bonesauce As cliche as it is to say about a song, but I lived Cul-De-Sac, and the sentimental value is overwhelming but this song is still almost tied for my favorite on the album. It's such a powerful song

the first time i listened to this whole album by the time this song came on i was bawling 

@Ricky Pignato same here

i didn't think this would make me cry.

grow some balls

SuccNutt Busta you should honestly grow a pair yourself. I cry every time I listen to this song. I know for a fact it makes you a much braver, better person to be able to cry or get emotional at things. I've been in a place where I shut down my emotions for months. It wasn't good.

Atlas Media a pussy is someone who is afraid of things. I'm not afraid of anything. It has nothing to do with being emotional.

IReallyLikeAGirl - 🤣

I cried a little bit the first time i heard this....and the next few times....honestly this still brings tears to my eyes :') 

also grow some balls

I saw them live a few days ago and this song was sooo good live. <3

I love how they added there, there into this song... it made it that much more perfect

I saw this live and i was so overwhelmed with emotion i couldnt speak. It was so beautiful 

I wish I could listen to this album for the first time again.

Honestly this is one of my favorite things ever, it's just so fucking creative man like what the hell.

The drums in the intro are almost identical to Have Heart's "Armed With a Mind

+Skyler Wheeler I started looking through these comments just to see if anyone else noticed that haha

Seeing them next month, and this is on their set. I'm so excited JAIHUBDSGJK.

I feel like the entire line: "Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me here, with my wings clipped. I'm staring up at the sky, but the bombs are fucking falling" could be a reference to life of as a pigeon, like an extended metaphor. Like now not only is he a Pigeon, but he has his wings clipped and can't even fly.

@Burnie Sides Its the hook for Devil In My Bloodstream :P

The Wonder Years gives me so many chills, holy crap.

this brings back so many memories I'm crying

The best wonder years song, amazing.

i wasnt expecting an encore and i wasnt expecting this song perfect way to finish.

i actually haven't heard many songs from these guys (believe me, i'm seriously going to listen to them a LOT more) but, what are the different songs they used to create this MASTERPIECE of a song?

There There, passing through a screen door, Dismantling Summer, Devil in My Bloodstream, Teenage Parents, A raindance in Traffic.

chaser is a great song too!

Every song from the album. 

@greendayforever2k9 dismantling summer always used to make my mom cry because my grandma died and it was in the summer and my mom had to be the strong one :(

Me too. Before this, the last Wonder Years album I heard was The Upsides and I really liked it. This album has the potential to be my next favourite...

I wish i could hear this for the first time again, that moment changed what music can be for me. However this is still the best song ever conceived even after the 500th time listening to it.

no it sucks lol katy pery is beter

HAHAHAH YOU SIR, ARE SO FUCKING WITTY AND ORIGINAL HAH.......Obvious troll is obvious.

@Bob Joe please spell better right thank you :3 

I actually purchased this album... Yes, purchased. This is the first album I have PURCHASED in.... 5-6 years? wow. Long live The Wonder Years!

 I like how they put diffent melodies of their songs in this song.

Thank you for that. I'm just starting to listen to them and I was so confused because I heard the "I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times" part in There,There too

This song sums up the whole album, and what he message he wants to convey. All the Outros are combined at the end because they go together the way true life swirls together.

Unf. I love this band. Everything about them is amazing. Lyrics, music, name, the guys....EVERYTHING.

This is so important

I haven't listened to this  kind of music since middleschool/high school, but damn these guys are good. 

Cause I'm sick of seeing ghosts and I know how it's all gonna end. There's no triumph waiting. There's no sunset to ride off in. We all want to be great men and there's nothing romantic about it. I just want to know that I did all I could with what I was given.

Peter Barnes the summation of coming of age

This song is one of the best songs I've heard. During the 2nd half my draw dropped and I was left in awe. It is the perfect close to a perfect album

best thing about living in philly is getting great bands like this. They even changed their set list just because it's their home town. 

They played this as an encore in Toronto last night. Let me just say, it was the best experience of my entire life.

They played this as an encore at the NYC show on the 17th too. It was fantastic. That entire show was so awesome.

they always close their concerts with this song at least the three i have been too.

They always close their concerts with this song I've seen them 2 times
