Washington Square Park Songtext

von The Wonder Years

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
