Wonder Years, The - No Closer To Heaven Lyrics
I'm digging up the bones of the failures I've buried.
I'm pulling down my white flags
In varying stages of sun-bleached and grey.
I'm gonna sew them all together.
I'm gonna fashion the bones into a frame.
Stretched across until they're wings.
I'm no closer to Heaven.
I clipped a bird with my car on the freeway.
He won't see a burial and all week long I kept thinking of death,
How me and Hemingway share forehead scars.
I won't meet the same fate that he did.
In a world that I can't fix,
With a hammer in my grip,
I'm no closer to Heaven.
It feels like the day before something important.
It feels like the first snow of the season that sticks.
It's how I'll always feel like a failure
In the back of my head
No matter where I've been.
The future feels bright
Like the glow of a city
Out across the Great Plains,
Where the closer I get, the further I feel away.
I could stay here in the darkness.
Feels like I'm wandering in circles for days.
I may never reach the gates.
I'll keep walking anyway.
I'm no closer to Heaven.

Literally cannot find a bad song by them. Probably one of the best bands I have ever heard!
another wonder years lyric I would love to have in a tattoo lol add it to the list, "we're no saviors if we can't save our brothers" love it
Hearing this song live, with the audience screaming the lyrics in unison, and then going immediately into "Cardinals" was fucking powerful. Not gonna lie, I teared up during this, and "Cigarettes & Saints". No Closer to Heaven is just one hell of an album and I love every measure of it.
La Fonda?
seen these guys last night in Glasgow, you guys were awesome!!!
does anyone know the chords for this or where i can find a tab?? been trying to work it out for ages with no success /:

hope that helps.
I was at their kickoff show for their fall tour w/MotionCitySoundtrack. To be in the dark room at Webster Hall, catching the six dudes' silhouettes, hearing Mike Kennedy count off with the hi hat, and listening to that buildup, words can't even describe how epic and chilling it was for TWY to open their set with this intro.
This entire album is a soundtrack for Supernatural. There is no escaping the feels.
I took my time getting here... But all great things come with time I suppose! What a album!
this is amazing.
This opening into cardinals was a poor choice I think. The rest of the album is flawless though. By far the best thing they've ever done.
you trippin boy
I'm excited for the album. Thanks for this song.
Can't even tell you how much I want to see this one live. preferably leading into cardinals. that'd killll it
That's how they open shows
Chris Preble just saw them play this leading into cardinals on Saturday night and it made me cry haha
Just starting the album right now. Can't wait to hear it all!
Thank you for this amazing album words can not convey the overwhelming joy I felt when I woke up to it this morning!
+David Saul's Thats morning glory
Thank you soupy
+Danny Woods I'm glad I'm not the only one that was gonna make this comment
Yeah it's not like there're any other members in the band
