"Letterman" lyrics
Look behind me then you’ll understand
I’m not hiding any other man
To be honest I don’t understand
How you spin me like a ceiling fan
There’s no point in makin nice
I know the price
Cause I know all about the down and out, I get it
Cause even if I close my eyes and fantasize
It’s never gonna help me admit that you’re gone and to just accept it
Wear your pride just like a letterman
Wrap me tight I’m your rubber band man
I won’t try you even tho I can
Slide on by without a second glance
so don't think that i'm excited at all
and you know that I’ve been dyin’ to call
but I can’t get involved
I don’t wanna be here at all
do you notice at all

[@jodyxgraves]

i think what makes TSSF so good is that they’ve stuck to their guns through their whole career. no bs, no riding trends, no elaborate promotional schemes. every single music video is just performance shots that match the aesthetics of the song. and their sound has only matured. TSSF changed my life when i first found them and have moved with me as i’ve grown. and to me that makes them timeless.

[@LoneWanderer905]

From Jud Jud to I Want To Disappear and whatever comes next, I'm sticking with these guys forever.

[@psyants]

I feel like you captured why so many of us were attracted to the band initially and also why so many of us are still listeners after all these years.

[@leandroantelo7154]

Stick to your guns?

[@jodyxgraves]

@@leandroantelo7154 it's a saying, was just saying how they have only gotten better and matured rather than changed. styg is incredible tho

[@mrcoggerman1]

[@PhillyspecialK]

when a band grows up with the fan base, it makes the whole vibe so much better.

[@Beezle66]

Why does getting older always have to equal getting softer? I'm 30 and have been listening to this stuff forever now and there's still some of us older folk that much prefer a band to keep putting of the faster "heavier" stuff. Luckily there are still older bands and newer younger bands keeping the same vibes That being said tho, this song is still pretty catchy

[@frbny88]

I think they mean people evolve as we grow, as did their music@@Beezle66

[@FranciscoDelaveau]

@@Beezle66 Oh man idk about you but while bands tend to go slower, i do too. I'm 27 and i don't have much of that teenage angst i had before, other feelings start to take over. You see all your relatives forming families, marrying, it just gets so slower in comparison to everything you live on your younger days. Don't get me wrong, i still listen to all the fast stuff but i understand why a "mature sound" becomes a thing. However, it's up to them to make that interesting (see Blink-182 and how they've managed to create nostalgia in their latest tracks). The other end of the spectrum is Metallica and how their fanbase insist on making them faster, making them a shadow of what they once were and very boring from a creative perspective, imho.

[@Shortly8908]

@@Beezle66 Because when you are younger, you have all the energy to waste. When you grow old, most of the time you want just softer ones because you are already exhausted by being adult.

[@mrbrightside4u]

​@@Beezle66For me it's not about them being softer. I love harder genres even more now that I am older. But I was just honestly really happe that the last album was about growth and being in a good place and being sober and not blaming the other party in a bad relationship or some of the things the older songs were about. That's the growing up with me part to me.

[@BajatheChickenMan]

I hope this band never stops making music.

First time I ever listened to TSSF I was at a buddy’s house, I truly thought I would never get into the pop punk scene always seemed to be not much my alley and then I heard “quicksand” and for an 18yr angry kid who was going though a break up, it was just what I need to hear and now almost 15 some odd years later I’m going through the same thing and I listen to this and know I’m gonna be okay because this band has always made me feel like I wasn’t alone and I could overcome the heartbreak I’m feeling. They’ll never be another band that I love and appreciate more. Thanks for everything TSSF❤

[@Rick-mo2zm]

40 years old and just discovered these guys last year. Got a promotion at work and finally got my own office. As as metal head, I knew that probably wasn't proper for the office environment. Went searching for an upbeat, easy going band and stumbled across these guys. Have listened to all their albums multiple times now and definitely psyched for the new stuff! Love this song, I keep replaying it. Wish it was a little longer so I didn't have to keep going back and could focus on my work haha!

[@jdrigg706]

39 here. Discovered them in 2018 and I haven't looked back since. They're great!

The drum fill into the chorus at 2:16 makes me so happy. This song is fantastic.

These harmonies are catchy asf

[@Crashking416]

These guys have matured and evolved in such a natural way. They've kept their essence but have also branched out.

[@ZTB182]

I find it funny...growing up I feel like us at TSSF fans we thrived off the anger and pain that parker was feeling to the point where we pigeonholed him into this symbol the "pop punk poster child" but now as years have gone on and we've all lived and all had time to mature and grow it's nice seeing a smile on Parker's face. Really cool that I grew with this band and had them to help me through those tougher years. Cheers boys, here's to things looking up
