Wonder Years, The - Logan Circle: A New Hope Lyrics

This album came out my first year in college. 1,000 miles from where I grew up and it hit hard. So did “Suburbia”. Their first 3 albums are my life in songs I never wrote. This still hits hard 10 years later. A classic of the decade. Even if the pop punk era faded out. This is more than a pop punk album. The realest lowkey.

Me and my best friend listened to this 7 years ago before high school. We barely talk but this still reminds me of him

This song ages so well

This makes me want to do some things in my life over.

Whenever I get together with my friends this song plays in my mind. It is so easy for us to have surface level friendships. This is most apparent when I am with my high school friends. We have great times and it is fun, goofy, and just stupid fun. Yet on the inside I feel like shit because there is no emotional connection. It is just what we do like turning on the fountain at Logan circle. Just like making a album for fun in a basement or eating shitty diner food. All you can do is find a way to overcome the deep issues that are in your mind

Thank you Tobias Funke.

Putos todos!!

They turned on the fountain today as I rode down 19th to Logan Circle,
I felt something in me change,
And I was thinking about how we all feel its been down,
The world's not that bad of a place,

We just can't blame the seasons,
The Blue Man Group won't cure depression,
But Arrested Development might if we let it
And you should come by at eleven,
We're 533 on Manson
I haven't thought that much about high school in ages
And I can't pretend,

I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners,
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay,
I'm not even sad anymore,
I'm just so tired most nights,

And I've been drowning my sorrows in Lucky Charms and soy milk
For the record, I'm not vegan, I just prefer the taste
We're getting pretzels with Fireworks at midnight
And I don't need maps or sidewalk cracks this way

We wrote the upsides in my basement
And pissed off all the neighbors
Jess and I barely slept when they had sex
This street has been seen much worse,
Than some fucking pop-punk band
And I used to hate it, but I miss it since I left

So I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners,
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay,
I'm not even sad anymore,
I'm just so tired most nights,

They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle,
They turned on the fountain today,
They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle,
I felt something in me...

I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
I'm afraid,
So I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners,
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay,
I'm not even sad anymore

533 on *Manton

[Verse 1]
They turned on the fountain today as I rode down 19th to Logan Circle
I felt something in me change
And I was thinking about how we all feel its been down
The world's not that bad of a place

We just can't blame the seasons
The Blue Man Group won't cure depression
But Arrested Development might if we let it
And you should come by at eleven
We're 533 on Manton
I haven't thought that much about high school in ages
And I can't pretend

[Chorus]
I'm afraid that we're wasting away
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay
I'm not even sad anymore
I'm just so tired most nights

[Verse 2]
Well I've been drowning my sorrows in Lucky Charms and soy milk
For the record, I'm not vegan, I just prefer the taste
We're getting pretzels with Fireworks at midnight
And I don't need maps, the sidewalk cracks this way
We wrote the upsides in my basement
And pissed off all the neighbors
Jess and I barely slept when they had sex
This street has been seen much worse
Than some fucking pop-punk band
And I used to hate it, but I miss it since I left

[Chorus]

They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle
They turned on the fountain today
They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle
I felt something in me...

I'm afraid that we're wasting away
I'm afraid
So I'm afraid that we're wasting away
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay
I'm not even sad anymore

That Fireworks reference doe.
