5 years later, and still one of the best songs on earth

[@chechometal231]

I love how he takes his In-ear off to listen to the people sing♡♡♡

[@kelsey3283]

2024 and I'm not crying, you're crying

[@chrisk.1256]

To: Loneliest Place on Earth, thank you for the upload. To: TWY, thank you for this peaceful, melodic rendition of your already incredible song...just what I needed!

[@BledWh1te]

this makes me cry every single time and I love it

[@robreeto]

Seriously, I got my tissues right here with me

[@stealingyoursoda5476]

I love how the crowd sings I saw them live this week with mayday parade and it was amazing

[@dustinholder4915]

Has anyone else noticed how he sometimes walks off stage immediately after the sadder songs?

[@ryanmcnally4485]

Which ones aren't sad?

[@letsgobaby8501]

This version made me realize how sad this song actually is. “So if you call me back or let me in, I swear I’ll never let you down again. I know the devil you’ve been fighting with, I swear I’ll never let you down again” thats fuckin deep man. I think he gets emotional for sure, his voice kind of gives out at the last second and after reading your comment I kind of wonder if its just him trying to hold back tears. Then he gets up right away and pats his buddy on the back as if he’s saying “good show man but you know how it goes I gotta go let it out for a sec backstage”. Its all just speculation but I like to think thats whats going on here.

The other day I was playing to a couple friends on guitar, never realised how sad it is!

Me too

[Verse 1] Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites 'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light On the glass was a better life [Verse 2] Staring at a hole in your chest That's been dug there for decades American broken promises Caught between the lies you've been fed And a war with your bloodstream I should have been there when you needed a friend I was off on my own again Selfish and stupid [Chorus] So if you call me back or let me in I swear I'll never let you down again I know the devil you've been fighting with I swear I'll never let you down again [Verse 3] I had that nightmare again You're seven and helpless, angry as hell And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings And I beat you half-conscious I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat I want those years back [Chorus] So if you call me back or let me in I swear I'll never let you down again I know the devil you've been fighting with I swear I'll never let you down again [Bridge] We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers [Chorus] So if you call me back or let me in I swear I'll never let you down again I know the devil you've been fighting with I swear I'll never let you down again

I love this song! I think it would have been better if they went full acoustic until the end, the drums didn’t match the vocal. Still loved the performance though.
