Wonder Years, The - We Won't Bury You Lyrics






I had to let you know,
That everyone back home
Passed on the word
Of where you went wrong.
So, from the deep south
Outside a Waffle House
I called to wish you well
And got your voice mail.
So let me know, if there's something we can do
Cause we won't bury you.

So, I heard the news
And your Get Up Kids tattoo's
Means something new,
But the words still ring true.
Cause, we'll all forgive you.
But you can't forget,
That you know better than this.
Don't end up like he did.
And I guess it's none of my business
But I hope you're well, old friend.

Wonder Years, The We Won't Bury You Comments
  1. J.... W....

    The last line is heartbreaking.

  2. J.... H....

    Loss is the worst feeling in the world. Love yinz. Any twy fans.....just live life as best you can.

  3. W.... E....

    8 years later and this song still gives everyone the same feeling. I love The Wonder Years. RIP Jake.

  4. G.... ....

    RIP David

  5. S.... S....

    Legit crying. This makes me miss some people who didn't need to pass away when they did. It wasn't old age. They didn't need to. But life just works that way. My husband plays this for me on guitar sometimes. It's so calming and somber. Almost like a lullaby.

  6. C.... T....

    Rip Chris. Came here for you.

  7. S.... -....

    "and you're get up kids tattoos" ... I like that band.

  8. J.... L....

    Earlier this year, I lost two grandparents in a span of thirty-six hours, and yesterday, my family had to put our dog to sleep. It's been a crazy year, and this song helps me in ways I can't even explain. I never thought music would help me in the ways that it has, but this band and this song have done more for me than I thought possible. Dan, Matt, Josh, Nick, Mike, and Casey - thank you.

  9. M.... B....

    a friend of mine committed suicide last week and nothing's been the same since. i find a lot of comfort in this song though. sometimes i listen to it, think of her, and cry - but sometimes it's like a warm blanket, you know? i'm just so glad this song and twy exist

    r.i.p jade, we miss you ♥

    M.... B....

    Hey, late reply to this, but my best friend killed himself in February. I hope you've found some peace.

    M.... B....

    Four years too late, but I hope you’re well.

  10. T.... S....

    Listening to this while reading the comments reminds me why the comments section still exists. Because if you look in the right places, you'll find humans sharing in emotion, sharing in pain. Together we're strong, and that's a Wonder-ful ;) thing. 

    T.... S....

    >:O I--
    Y'know what? I like that. :)

  11. S.... R....

    my beautiful 7 year old 'little sister' is dying from cancer. such an incredible song. the last line rlly gets me ah

    S.... R....

    I am sorry to hear about your sister. That really struck me when I read your comment.

  12. M.... ....

    I'M CRYING OMG

  13. R.... ....

    @kelli was it Michael valentine?

  14. K.... F....

    This song means so much to me. I recently lost one of my best friends. His name was also Michael and The Wonder Years were his favorite band.... I wish he had listened to this song as if were meant for him... Maybe things would have turned out differently..

  15. C.... C....

    Made me cry.

  16. G.... ....

    I have that tie.

  17. h.... ....

    My cousin is having a tough time struggling with addiction, and every time i hear this song i cant help but think of him and how I hope hes doing alright.

  18. K.... J....

    My best friend Nathan, passed away 24 days ago from cancer I miss him so much, and sometimes its really hard to get through the day. This song helps a lot.

  19. W.... B....

    I remember when I was in forth grade and listened to Trivium

  20. f.... ....

    It's been a year since one of my best friends died, so this song helps me out a bit. R.I.P. Camaron. Gone but never forgotten.

  21. Z.... S....

    It's not about forcing happiness, it's about not letting sadness win. Stay strong.

  22. S.... M....

    I haven't heard this song in almost a year, just listened to it, instantly shed some tears.

  23. J.... A....

    how is it even possible to dislike this song? it's so beautiful...

  24. B.... R....

    Keep your head up Ethan, music will always be here for you when it feels like nobody else is.

  25. J.... S....

    R.I.P Eric. We miss you.

  26. E.... W....

    My brother died yesterday, this song keeps me going.

  27. s.... g....

    It's been a little over a year since the death of my best friend. I still feel lost, yet like i can relate when i listen to this song. Thank you for writing this.

  28. c.... ....

    this song in context is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard.

  29. r.... ....

    R.I.P Mike. Lovely Song<3

  30. R.... D....

    My cousin died last night. He was only 14 years old. He got in an ATV accident and it took his life. RIP Tyler <3

  31. N.... K....

    Ima be straight up and say i cry every time i hear this song.

  32. O.... ....

    Lol, why the fuck are you arguing about Trivium? This song is great, and so is The Wonder Years. I can't remember the last time a song has made me cry.. till now.

  33. d.... r....

    R.I.P Mike, you were loved by many people, it's a shame you had to leave so early.

  34. m.... ....

    I think all of us have somebody we miss, I know I do.

  35. c.... ....

    i wish i could find the people who disliked this and just ask why? it seems impossible not to feel them or connect with them at some level.

  36. I.... S....

    I cry whenever I hear this song. I had a drug problem. I made it out, but I'm a lucky person. This is the best 1:52 seconds of The Wonder Years I've ever heard.

  37. g.... ....

    This isn't the way you were meant to go. I'll wear my pink on monday for you and the necklace you gave me back in 6th grade. Remember that Christmas party? Everyone's praying that you get better- and we've painted the rock pink for you. Keep fighting Ellen, we love you.
    -Nicole

  38. m.... ....

  40. E.... ....

  41. M.... S....

    the fact that someone had the nerve to click the dislike button on this actually reall pisses me off

  42. K.... ....

    Hi, this is Anthony. I'm Michael's younger brother.

    It's a year today since he died and we're all handling it well. Believe it or not, it was my first time listening to this song and it's made today a little easier. I just want thank the guys involved for sharing a great friendship with my brother and crafting such a wonderful tribute to him.

  43. x.... ....

  45. J.... ....

    @chicubsrool oh hahaha i feel stupid

  46. G.... M....

    Does anyone know a song by them about being in love with someone but not wanting to say anything about it because they don't want to get hurt? I have been trying to find it but it's hard when you don't know the name.:P

    G.... M....

    which album?

  47. N.... D....

    Dave would be more proud of You Made Want To Be A Saint, still, beautiful.

  48. D.... ....

    i lost my uncle he died on march 16 2006 he was only 37 and my grandma died on the same day this year she was 69 so I've been through hell these past years

  49. J.... ....

  51. T.... D....

    I think it's fucked up that people are arguing over genres of music, (which I'm only guessing from the few comments that I read), on a song that's in tribute to The Wonder Years' friend that passed.

  52. N.... L....

    obvious troll is obvious. just saying.

  53. k.... ....

    @4Trivium In a sense its talent but a lot of people in these types of bands can "shred" but it shows more talent to write meaningful catchy songs

  54. g.... w....

    @TheCaptainTimLI trivium shred like mad cunts, thats talent

  55. g.... w....

    @croyleman1 i listen to all that stuff too dumb shit

  56. T.... ....

    @4Trivium also since when did popularity mean talent? seriously? i can do math. and i also have ears.

  57. g.... w....

    @theundone1 Or some1 much older than you who has a sense of humor

  58. k.... ....

    @4Trivium Such animosity

  59. k.... ....

    @4Trivium I can't think of any less inspired bands besides Parkway Drive and Trivium you have an undeserved amount of pride for your music

  60. C.... H....

    @4Trivium shut up.

  61. K.... N....

    2 people need to get dead, quick.

  62. w.... h....

    @hazman1995 no, no. You DID spell it wrong. And why have you suddenly got the impression that im crying over all this. also this argument isnt even between me and you. so im not commenting any more. Bye :D

    w.... h....

    will hunt Okay, so I just want to say what is this shit? I know this is eight years late, but still. It’s youtube. People say stupid shit. Respect them whether you agree or not. I’m not saying you’re the bad guy here, because you’re not, but I just hope you’ve matured over the years with what you write online. It can really hurt someone...

    Look... I’m sure you’ve grown out of it by now. You were in fact right in the argument. But the way you handled the situation is what bothered me. I wanted to thank you for defending the rights of people to have differing opinions, it was really good of you. Just... do it with less commotion next time, haha. Thanks for standing up, man.

  63. h.... ....

    @hunt950 Didn't exactly spell it wrong.. Added an 'e' now go cry me a river and drown yourself.

  64. w.... h....

    @hazman1995 LMAO, me go learn english? says the guy who spelt "quit" wrong. wow. Contradict yourself or what? :L
