Lyrics:

Justin and I have got the windows down;
the A/C is busted, it’s hotter than hell,
but I hate myself a little less
when the salt air hits my skin.

Sat on the benches when the shops had closed;
saw the ferris wheel light through your Marlboro smoke,
and I sorta fumbled through playing
“Steadier Footing.”

I love the glow
of you in your summer clothes,
coming down the parkway,
leaving the city,
shaking off the cold.

Met up with strangers around two am;
the beach is deserted, it's just us and them,
and these batteries that can’t get the stereo
through one goddamn song.

Swam out so deep we probably should’ve died,
too young and too dumb and too fed up with life;
but when you grab my ankles, the two of us
still aren’t tall enough to touch the bottom.

We’re floating on our backs, and we’re staring at the stars–
or the ones we can see through the light pollution.
Then we all pretend that if we squint real hard,
we can make out the shape of the space station,
and some lonely astronaut would smile back at us.

My nephew, Alexander loved The Wonder Years and one day last week.... This song popped up on my tablet and phone and I knew it was from him as he passed on in 2019. He was only 26. Thank you for the signs.😊I will always love you and miss you everyday of my life.

[paulienedelec]

Word doesn't describe how much this band has meant to me for over ten years. I loved this song the day it came out and I love how simple and human, but emotional this video feels. Thank you, TWY.

Damn. Born and raised in Philly, when I first listened to this song when it dropped it reminded me of high school/college summers driving down the shore to wildwood. Late summer nights with friends I don’t see much anymore. This video being on the wildwood boardwalk was a kick to the gut in the best way possible. Love it

[preludepain]

With all the terrible things going on in the world, a song like this takes me to a better place. Thank you.

[flutterbyu]

Beautiful song and video. 84 thousand views in under 24 hours is amazing. In my mid 50s and introduced to TWY by my son several years ago. You have quickly become a favorite of mine. Although I am older, I find your songs so relatable. Keep up the great work.

[samanthaporch]

As a local it’s always cool seeing your hometown in a music video. With one of your favorite bands that you’ve seen before? Now that’s truly something special. Great video, hope y’all enjoyed your time down here 🌞

‘I spent this year as balloons and I’m not sure what I’m inflated for’

[victoriawright]

Wildwood is where all of my happiest childhood memories are, been going there on family vacation for 18 years now, this video was so beautiful and nostalgic and personal for me

[KennedyTWY]

O wow, this video is awesome. What a treat.

[johnshea]

those balloon monster’s look terrifying yet fitting for the jersey shore

[miamarsden]

Is this the highest note Soupy has ever hit? Like seriously, that note gives me chills.

[vhr]

the way this song builds, the falsetto at 2:36, and the chaotic (in the best way of course) ending.

amazing. one of my favorite releases of the year.

[ranyjayrelativo]

The Wonder years always makes me fell that its okay not to be okay life is still beautifull to live. i love you guys 🖤

[Sarafoxglove]

Someone very special showed me this song, his name was Nathan. we don’t talk anymore, but any chance he ever comes back to this song to give it another listen he will see, I just wanted to thank you for showing me what good love is, and I will never forget you.

[biancaellob]

Growing up in nyc, always going down the shore in the summer with friends + family. Yeah, TWY always punch you right in the feels.

[lookforthegood]

I literally live in north wildwood. This has been my favorite band for over a decade i have hank on my arm. I wish i wouldve seen them filming this

[spotsenselessxo]

This band is so amazing and kind and talented. I’ve been a huge fan for 12 years now and growing up with their music has brought me so much joy. I can’t wait to go to another show soon hopefully in Boston!

[jonat]

Realistic-core. Brought me down to my knees as always. Thanks

[xDPx-zhvr]

There's not a song that this group of amazing musicians releases that doesn't touch some part of your soul.

[SarahSarcasm]

Love this video. Love The Wonder Years. You were my 9 year old son’s first show 💜💜💜
