Wonder Years, The - Melrose Diner Lyrics






I hate your bad tattoos and your second-hand stories;
those anecdotes that grew old last month.
I hate the way you move when you’re drunk and try dancing.
It’s not sexy.
It’s just keeping us up and I’m just not fond of anyone,
but that’s got everything to do with us.

I hate the way I get when I can’t handle bad news.
It feels like I’ve been an asshole for months.
All I’ve got left are these handfuls of fuck you and man,
that’s never enough.

I guess I’m just down.
I guess I’ll be honest.
I could use you around.
I can’t stand the dork that you’re hanging with now.
I guess I’ll be honest.
I could use you around.

I hate the way that you can’t keep your hair straight.
I hate the way that you’re leaning on me.
I hate the way that you point out when girls are staring
because you know that I won’t do a thing.

I hate the context clues you leave out of your writing
because I can’t find myself here at all.
You know that I hate when you call me wasted.
I expect it whenever you call.

I guess I’m just down.
I guess I’ll be honest.
I could use you around.
I can’t stand the dork that you’re hanging with now.
I guess I’ll be honest.
I could use you around.
I could use you around.
I could use you around now.

My friends all say he’s just a b-rate version of me;
he’s stuck on video games and weed.
They’re just trying to help me get to sleep.

My friends all say you’re sitting way too close to me,
that I should just get up and leave.
It’s like I’m weighed down to the seat.

My friends all say he’s just the broke-dick version of me.
They’re just trying to help me get some sleep.
I know he’s what you need.

I guess I’m just down.
I guess I’ll be honest.
I could use you around.
I can’t stand the dork that you’re hanging with now.
I guess I’ll be honest.
I could use you around.

    This is the song that got me obsessed with the wonder years all the way back in 2010 it's a flawless song and the wonder years have made 4 flawless albums in a row with each album better then the last I am a die hard obsessive freak out the wonder years fan

  57. f.... ....

    I enjoyed the song so much, i did not realize the video was quite terrible

  58. S.... S....

    Oh my god 2:19 he's so happy

    S.... S....

    +Kullub yes i think so XD

    S.... S....

    every pop punk song should play happily

  59. M.... C....

    Love this band

  60. M.... S....

    I love this video almost entirely because of how bad it is. They can say the F word in the intro, but not in the song? They can afford to have Megan look like she's floating, but she has to turn into a blow up doll to be thrown out of the arena? Beautiful. Great song, though!

    M.... S....

    It's meant to look fake Bruh

  61. V.... C....

    most cringe-worthy video ever

    V.... C....

    Thats kinda the joke

    V.... C....

    you clearly have not seen attack attack's stick stickly

  62. V.... C....

    most cringe-worthy video ever

    V.... C....

    Not as cringey as that hair you're rocking

    V.... C....

    +George Scott OH SHIT MY DOOD.

  63. L.... S....

    A beard-less Soupy kinda freaks me out...

  64. D.... ....

    Ovdje zbog Faze Jebasu ;)

  65. C.... M....

    I just realised the joggernaut is John James Ryan

  66. 1.... ....

    I wonder how many people know that Melrose is a place in Scotland

    1.... ....

    +1231Studios Me because i live near it

    1.... ....

    +MA5TER0FMUPPETS Smart, I'm in East Lothian

    1.... ....

    +1231Studios Well Inverness Counts I suppose

    1.... ....

    It's also the name of a diner in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for which this song is referring to

    1.... ....

    I wonder how many people know melrose is a dutch band with weird lyrics but actually good songs 😂

  67. f.... ....

    Eat the Muffin is the best thing to come out of the video shoot for this song.

  68. K.... ....

    this video singlehandidly started my obsession with Megan Massacre...thanks for that

  69. K.... ....

    And it was at that moment Lone Wolf knew... He was getting head that night

  70. J.... C....

    I didn't remember that they used to shave...

    J.... C....

    Did you forget that they didn't use to shave or did you not know they didn't shave?

  71. N.... K....

    Isn't the actor playing The Lone Wolf in an episode of Workaholics? Episode "Heist School"?

    N.... K....

    Charlie Saxton confirmed.

  72. I.... ....

    They looked like they had so much fun.

  73. P.... H....

    He wolf cried the shit out of her

  74. h.... ....

    God i love how the tempo slows down a bit in the intro, its just so great

  75. S.... ....

    Pop punk is staged. Those aren't even real riffs. Plus "Soupy" isn't even that guys real name. Also I hear the Wonder Years bury younger talent to stay on top. I'm definitely not ordering Pop Punklmania this year.

    S.... ....

    I was calling him soupy since he was 14. Yeah.. it's not his real name. Everyone knew it was a nickname.. so what?

    S.... ....

    They didnt make Roman look strong dammit!

    S.... ....

    I love this comment so much

    S.... ....

    The reason you can't leave ironic or clever comments on YouTube videos is obvious right here in these replies to your comment.

    S.... ....

    😂😂😂😂

  76. h.... ....

    Intro is killer

  77. I.... H....

    Awesome.

  78. Y.... G....

    Megan Massacre is life 💜

  79. E.... F....

  83. d.... ....

    I guarantee Dan Campbell gets massive amounts of pussy.

    d.... ....

    +ryanfronheiser engaged

    d.... ....

    d.... ....

    100% guaranteed, but isn't he like 31 lmao

    d.... ....

  84. C.... ....

    is that James?

  85. K.... ....

    Andre Schurrle anyone?

  86. B.... G....

    Check us out if you love pop-punk with british accents!

    B.... G....

    @Buffalo Go Definitely worth checking out!

  87. n.... a....

    megan massacre looks like a punk version of carly rae jepsen lmao

    n.... a....

    Now that you say that.... that's actually a spot on comparison. 

    n.... a....

    +n(o chill)atalie lol youre right

    n.... a....

    emo...def not punk.

    n.... a....

    More like goth

  88. W.... ....

    I miss this wonder years vibe

  89. M.... O....

    The Wonder Years make amazing music, but this is one of their worse songs and the video doesn't help. Listen to the rest of this album and the two albums they released after it, they are pop punk masterpieces.

    M.... O....

    This song is great the video not so much but it adds to the feel of when they were newer

    M.... O....

    @Shriffican I personally consider it to be one of the better songs on the Upsides, with "Washington Square Park", "My Last Semester", and "All My Friends are in bar Bands". It's not my favorite Wonder Years record, but it's still a well-above average album. My personal favorite albums are their two newest ones, "Suburbia" and "Greatest Generation" (with the latter being my all-time favorite record) so I just like their more matured and developed music I guess.

    M.... O....

    @Sean Kraus Personally, Suburbia is my favorite. with "Local Man Ruins Everything" being one of my favorite songs ever. 

    M.... O....

    This song is quite good and extremely catchy, which makes it a perfect single. I just think that it isn't as good as the rest of their songs. My favorite songs off The Upsides are Hostels & Brothels, Everything I Own Fits In This Backpack, Washington Square Park and Bar Bands, to name a few. In my opinion those songs are more unique and showed the potential this band already had back then. But their two last albums are unbelievably well-written and they show that this isn't a generic pop punk band, they stand out above the rest.

    M.... O....

    honestly I think it's one of their only good songs...

  90. E.... D....

    1:21 btw

  91. Y.... S....

    remember when the wonder years knew how to have fun like this? peppridge farm remembers.  

  92. g.... ....

    everyone looks so different now!

  93. a.... ....

    What's the song at the very end?

    a.... ....

    @***** Thank you!

  94. D.... G....

    I'm pretty sure that's the bassist of I Call Fives as one of the commentators. Not sure who the other one is.

    D.... G....

    @Dylan Giallella I think that's the other vocalist of Man Overboard

    D.... G....

    +juniopatrick Dylan has it right. Also, Sam was a former With the Punches member

  95. C.... M....

    two of my favourite things, the wonder years and wrestling

  96. H.... ....

    his penis is his ear?

  97. L.... W....

    These were the kind of songs that got me through high school

    L.... W....

    They're getting me through high school right now

  98. T.... O....

    Megan fucking Massacre! Fucking hell man xD

  99. F.... ....

    68 people are super duper whack

  100. J.... W....
