Lyrics:
My airbag light’s been on for weeks and I keep having dreams where I go through the windshield but I don’t fix it. Patsy Cline came and sang to me. She told everybody that she knew she would die soon before she did. I hear her cry on “Faded Love.” The air in August here’s heavy with salt and smoke and stings my lungs. My airbag light’s been on for weeks
and I can feel it mock me. It’s bittersweet like laughter through crooked teeth. I wanna move so far from everything that they can hear my heart beat and then break as I lay dying in the street. They’ll think the ice cracked at the lake. They’ll think a tire blew out and a car crashed on the interstate. It’s hard to watch you walk away. These aren’t the vultures that were circling just yesterday. It’s hard to watch you walk away. They’re picking at bones, at what’s left of your misery. So, when my vocal chords rip, when my knees give in, when I bury all of this, who’s gonna give a shit if I’m breathing?

[@Jacob-df5hr]

One of the most underappreciated songs in their catalogue. That first refrain comes in like a fucking haymaker.

[@fastestcowalive3804]

This entire album is pure bliss, man.

[@lacymueller2040]

It's a beautiful album. Makes me cry.

[@kat.3990]

I like to blast cardinals and sob about my life. Hits different. Like nothing ever has.

[@zachary9563]

The build up to that chorus sucker punched my heart in the asshole. In a good way.

[@americanzero2114]

Zachary I'm also a Zachary and I approve this message

[@helenbarnes4976]

What the actual heck

[@katherinemorris7109]

Seriously love the progression they've made in their music throughout the years. The whole band is full of fucking geniuses.

[@vicdarockstar]

Soupy west and the roaring years

[@BobTheHilkin710]

the wonderyears truly aged like fine wine

[@TheShezarrine]

So much emotion, man. I can't hear this one or Devil in my bloodstream without a few tears.

[@802Garage]

It's hard to watch you walk away.

[@GOTTALOVELOGOS]

Ohhh boy. How you feeling about The Hum Goes on Forever?

[@lacymueller2040]

This band used to be me and my best friend's band. It was our thing.... I'm listening to them tonight and actually feeling like crying. I miss her so much....

[@thisisnightshop2037]

Where did she go?

[@802Garage]

@@thisisnightshop2037 We'll probably never know.

[@DynamicallyDisabled]

Who's gonna give a shit if I'm breathing? The emotion in that line fucks me up so bad.

[@lacymueller2040]

The emotion in all their songs tear me up.

[@joshcfishing1621]

Best song on the album right here

[@StevenSmith-sd9bd]

Still one of my favorite TWY songs since their first album (Get Stoked On It!) - Mike Kennedy's drums on this one are seriously underrated.

[@941To518]

This whole album is amazing, but this might be my favorite

[@MrLemiwinks]

Fell in love with this song first listen, still just as full of feels a hundred times later

[@taidghisclass06]

Quite simply, the greatest song ever to grace us.

[@Ohreeena1]

Chills.

[@Nintendodo64]

Reminds me of Top Notch by Manchester Orchestra. A lot.

[@anilseepersad1519]

+Nintendodo64 it's the start-stop guitars. in fact the beginning feels a bit sidekicks, brand new

[@jamesfleming1155]

+Anil Seepersad yes!! just found this band. hearing brand new hard. this band is amazing.

[@anseltan014]

i would die for a Manchester-Wonder Years collaboration 🥺

[@alexandernichols6414]

This is beautifully composed.

[@802Garage]

Their songs are so layered it's incredible.

[@oostey1]

it's weird because my air bag light has been on for 5 weeks now... Great song

[@justinleonard2304]

Thank you spicy

[@davewiz20]

+Justin Leonard This guy.

[@williamcole60]

Found an old pair of apple headphones 2006 era these jawns bang

[@sarahramone3987]

this song gives me feels

[@dex4358]

Pure Awesomeness! TWY never disappoints :D

[@stephenr465]

brilliant

[@101peachypeach]

thanks for making a girl cry in class 😍

[@sambilicio]

+Abbie Gardner As a high school teacher... I say stop listening to music during my damn class... as a Wonder Years fan... Try to stop listening to music during my damn class, I know its hard, especially when Soupys voice is as haunting and melodic as he is on this song, but try for me ok? PEACE

[@FrankRiver2000]

+Sam Sears I wish I was your student lol

[@sambilicio]

+theonebuckethead Students know not to fuck with my morning ritual of playing several of TWY songs before class... you feel me?

[@FrankRiver2000]

Sam Sears All my teachers are 60 year old ladies lmao

[@sambilicio]

Luckily I'm neither 60 nor a lady!

[@helenbarnes4976]

They deserve to be on the same popularity scale as blink 182, green day, and incubus.

[@WickedTwitches]

This is better than I was expecting.

[@directives]

Balance the Wonder Years and Composure

[@mapleleaf8061]

phenomenal with just one earbud in. faint guitar, mostly drums and vocals.

[@lacymueller2040]

That sounded awesome. Just tried listening it to it that way.

[@ChicaRawwr]

Damn! I love it!

[@danielnarvaezlasarte6337]

yes... ohhh yes..

[@r0ser1ot]

Shit dude This is my first time listening to this band and I'm in love

[@jamesfleming1155]

same. friend just turned me on to this. I'm really impressed.

[@idgi]

I'll be back after work for this mark my words

[@tomrogue13]

How was work?

[@idgi]

@@tomrogue13 wasn’t too bad, long shift though. didn’t realize they said 8 years, i thought it was 8 hours.

[@tomrogue13]

@@idgi damn. Well I hope you got OT

[@idgi]

@@tomrogue13 unfortunately not if I did I wouldn’t attempt to be a failed content creator

[@johannvisser7659]

Just realised I missed their tour and I'm actually so upset, I discovered them just too late...

[@jacobbecker1905]

I really wasn't sure what to expect from this album considering it was said they had "matured." However I really really like this.

[@Johnfromtheend]

Holy shit, I fucking love this song!

[@kodyhuck2533]

this songs deep

[@lacymueller2040]

kody huck Your picture is literally me rn.

[@devindoran67]

Remember when these guys used to write pop punk?....... just me?

[@michaelgonzalez8793]

I remembered and I missed it.

[@13_faces]

Devin Doran new stuff is much better lol

[@cultural_marxism_fan]

this still is pop punk its just "mature pop punk"

[@BraveMeat]

What genre is this song? Post-rock?

[@stevenhanenburg6231]

+Ahmad Zarif Post-Hardcore maybe

[@MrShnoobtastic]

+Steven JamesH pop punk... Duh

[@cultural_marxism_fan]

its pop punk

[@MixedBerryTea]

They've really moved away from the sound they had in The Upsides. Not that I mind that though; they've really grown better with each album.

[@FTWinnick]

Anyone know what this songs about?

[@brantisthatnigga2]

+FTWinnick It's a song about relating to a sense of impending doom, much like what happened to Patsy Cline herself at the end of her life. More info on: genius.com/The-wonder-years-a-song-for-patsy-cline-lyrics/ After reading all that the line "my airbag light has been on for weeks" just takes a whole new chilling meaning.

[@davewiz20]

+Paulo Brant Yeah eventually. Were all going to die.

[@Mr.Halfway]

R.I.P Mrs.Cline and my manliness,I Cried like a bitch

[@danpaul4261]

Anyone know what tuning this is in? This definitely isn't Drop C#

[@DickslapMcgee]

Could be Drop C# cuz I'm pretty sure cardinals was

[@pdf_093]

+Dan Claymiller The really low guitar is probably a baritone guitar.

[@allisone12138]

+Dan Claymiller Two guitars, I'm guessing Matt's and Casey's, are tuned to drop C#, while 1 guitar, probably Nick's, is a baritone guitar tuned to (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, F, Bb). I'm pretty sure this is right. I'm thinking about actually doing a cover doing all three guitar parts and tabbing them.

[@danpaul4261]

Ed Allison thanks, that's actually what I figured after thinking about it

[@Kevinelevin92]

+Ed Allison Let me know when you get around that. I would love to see!

[@_frvr1022]

Yoooo I just realized This is literally car-crash rhetoric
