LYRICS
I’ve been feeling old and out of context, and if I’m really being honest, I miss everything I had at sixteen. Now I’m feeling miserable at best; I guess that’s what you get when your dirty little secret is how I miss the year that gets me. So tell me that you’re alright, ‘cause I’m not okay. I left the best of me in 2003. Now life is boring, let’s write a story where we never grow up - still four in the morning, singing New Found Glory at the top of our lungs. I’m in the middle of a crisis. Welcome to my life, no I don’t think that I like this. I can’t believe I got this jaded. I remember singing to The Anthem; my friends were the best, wish I knew it when I had them, ‘cause now it’s kind of complicated. I’d drive through every red light just so I could press rewind (we’ll go back in time). So let me kill the headlights, maybe if we close our eyes (we’ll go back in time).

This sounds more like new ADTR than new ADTR and I love it.

[OfLifeAndDeath]

An absolute anthem. Makes me nostalgic for the early 2000's and I realize that I miss my teen years as well.

I'm not okay simply because I can't believe they are gone... I wish nothing but the best to the guys, but I already miss them with my entire heart. Long Live As It Is

[livecarsonreaction]

My mom introduced me to Good Charlotte and Green Day growing up. She bought me my first guitar and encouraged my dreams of becoming a musician. I work in a "boring" field now, sitting at a desk and clicking my mouse a bunch of times every day, but I still want to get into music prod once I have the time/can afford to invest seriously. Thanks mom. I miss you.

[MaulerMyers]

As a 38 year old who spent their entire 20s in alternative rock and metal clubs, this song resonates hard.

[kaarinapolly]

I miss 2003 too. Of course I was 3 at the time but I still miss it.

[TheMusicfan]

One of the most slept on bands in the scene. Live shows are always killer and they're always changing up their sound every album cycle, very rare that a band can pull it off so well.

What a fucking tune this is though.

[RandomJot]

Holy shit the amount of references to oldschool songs though - Welcome To My Life, Complicated, I'm Not OK, to name a few - you boys have outdone yourselves, this absolutely rules

[Mydnytefantasy]

Also a '91 baby like Patty and honestly, the references and the feel of this hit so close to home right now. I discovered this song in an airport on my way home from seeing my grandma just days before she passed just before New Year's, and I'll be using so much of the music this references during this healing process, like I always do. A girlfriend of mine passed years ago in a car accident right after we listened to a bunch of The Used while getting high in my car just a day or so prior. This music is so engrained in my soul and it makes this song just hit so different nowadays. I miss 2003 as well, and nothing is gonna stop that anymore, because no one was there for me like NFG or MCR or The Used or Mayday Parade or Dashboard.

[dustindickey]

I like how this song, on the surface, is about missing the "good ol days" but, you could almost interpret it as a losing a loved one (to death, or breakup) in 2003 song at the same time. Music is wonderful.

[mikemyerz]

This takes me back to the days of skating with friends, playing a lot of Tony Hawk, ordering off the McD dollar menu with friends at 2am.

[blakematthews]

I graduated in 04 and was definitely part of the hot topic crew and it truly was the last good era for anything and everything. This world is depressing these days and it would be so awesome to have a remote like Adam sandler in click so i could go back and watch videos of my life in those days. Crazy how fast we grow and move through life.

[ksecrets]

This deserves way more views. It’s absolute emo fire.

[jackreyes_dgm]

Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan releasing new songs just a few days ago and now this incredible song? Gosh! The 2000's has been so relevant this week <3

[LuisHernandez]

God damn man, this song is *so* good. Makes me feel so proud to be a part of the scene all these years!

[CastleSandwich]

I love this! I'm 37 and feel the same. Had some great crazy wonderful years. "Can't believe I got this jaded."

[V.R.CoryArt]

It's honestly kind of scary how fast the 2000s are becoming further and further in the past, very soon teens won't remember that time at all and that makes me sad ): Before everyone including little kids were always on their phones, video cameras were still around, people had separate phones and cameras, subcultures weren't all online, sorry I sound like an old man but honestly those really were the good ole days for me even though I was young.
