Lyrics:

I'm pulling wings off insects. I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin. I'll wait outside your
bedroom; I hope they let me in. Filling your prescriptions, the orange bottles stare me
down. They're standing at attention—an army on your windowsill. We're all waiting for
good news; hoping you can come home soon. We're all waiting for good news. I've been
acting like I'm strong, but the truth is, I've been losing ground to a hospital too crowded
and a summer winding down. I hadn't seen a heart break until now. I hadn't felt a heartbreak
until now. I grew up on your back porch. I watched the storms light up the clouds.
They hung like paper lanterns to guide the way back towards your house. I've been
putting off long flights hoping that you'll be alright. I'll be there in the meantime. If I'm
in an airport and you're in a hospital bed, what kind of man does that make me?

The Wonder Years are pop punk for people in their 30s. So grateful for this band

[spencercowan]

This band helps me through so much. No one will ever know what this band means to me.

[bobbysinner]

How does he sing this without crying? I literally cannot do it.

[donniefights]

That fact that this album is 7 years old and still ahead of the times for pop punk NOW in 2021. God love the wonder years.

[cocobro]

Damn, the whole band kills it every fucking time.

[keanurevert]

One of the few mature relatable bands in the pop punk world. This song is my anthem - drove across the country this summer to be with my family after grandfather passed away. Hits home

[skipperino]

My grandmother is losing her battle with cancer, and i’m stuck working my 9-5 so i don’t end up on the streets. I most likely won’t be there in her last days.
This song hits hard. It hurts like hell. But I needed to hear it again.
(ETA: I made it home on thanksgiving. She died 6 hours after I left. This went from hurting to HURTING man).

[pushon]

I lost my mother this month to cancer. This is so relatable it hurts

[twentyonetwose]

this band is da fakkin bomb! had almost forgotten about this record, gotta listen to it now!

[skaisnotdead]

I can't tell you how much this hits home in 2020. My grandfather is in the hospital and I can't see him because of COVID. I'm not expecting great news and my family can't be together to support each other.

[armenps]

Pop punk, this is just a great melodic rock song with amazing lyrics.

[earnwerb]

This song is about Dan's grandfather being sick in the hospital after a triple bypass after a series of heart attacks. They left on tour the day of the surgery and were on tour throughout it. Hope the song and video make sense for those of you still confused on it.

[em]

My grandfather figure who had been there for me throughout my life died from lung cancer early this year (2017) and I listened to this on repeat during that time. I love this song and it will always have a special place in my heart 💗

[DrummingMoose]

This song makes me think about my grandfather and all the good times I spent with him and the fact that I don't want him to go away

[NigelOdinson]

'If I'm in an airport and your in a hospital bed, what kind of man does that make me...' deep shit right there!

[Joshmarmolejo_]

I sing the bridge so hard when blasting this song in my car.

[simonegateas]

This whole album, but this video in particular, is so meaningful I love it.

[theeonlyaly]

They killed it at HOB anaheim last night. Screamed this song at the top of my lungs. 2 of my aunts have cancer now and this speaks to me like no other. Quickly became one of my favorite bands ever!

[scotthogan]

The chorus in this song hits like a freight train filled with choir singers

[PedroCODSpain]

I didn´t know about this band until this video and they´re pretty awesome
