The Wonder Years Washington Square Park song lyrics

I m looking for the upsides to these panic-attack nights

where I m staying in eating take-out food by TV light

I m trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine

You could flip me over

I d sing a few lines about how

I m so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps

standing in the way of progress or letting down my friends

I m nailing shards of hope together

to put something over my head

because you know here it s always raining

and it happened again. It happened again

She said, I let this slide when we were younger

You know you don t have to write like this

The whole world s full of losers

If you get a chance to win, take it

I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly

Watched the gray slide off the city

because it s finally spring

We rode our bikes over to 6th Street

to Washington Square Park

to see if the tides would turn for me

I m nailing shards of hope together

to put something over my head

because you know here it s always raining

and it happened again. It happened again

She said, I let this slide when we were younger

You know you don t have to write like this

The whole world s full of losers

If you get a chance to win, take it

I left a lot of blood in California

on our first trip out west

I was younger and restless back then

and I thought, if no one s in my corner

since everyone left

I d better make it worth it
