Lyrics Came Out Swinging - The Wonder Years

Came Out Swinging

Moved all my shit into my parent’s basement
And out of our old apartment
And I know things changed
But I’m not sure when
I guess you’d call this regression
I left a real job and a girlfriend
Convinced myself that I’m brave enough for all of this, well
I spent a whole year in airports
And the floor feels like home
Oh, at least we’re never alone
I lost track of the time zones, I’d call but you know, oh
I’m running on empty
And the late nights and the long drives start to get to me
I’m just so tired
I spent this year as a ghost
And I’m not sure what I’m looking for
A voice on a phone that you rarely answer anymore
I came in here alone, came in here alone
(But that doesn’t scare me like it did seven months ago)
I spent this year as a ghost
And I’m not sure where home is anymore
Been on a steady fast food diet
Like we’re this generation’s
Morgan Spurlock but we don’t admit defeat
My body feels rejected
I can’t say that I blame it
My heart keeps saying stay young
My lower back seems to disagree
Unrolled a cheap cotton blanket
On an old dirty couch, oh
I felt the year start to wind down
Can’t stand any dead space, empty beds bum me out, oh
I spent this year as a ghost
And I’m not sure what I’m looking for
A voice on a phone that you rarely answer anymore
I came in here alone, came in here alone
(But that doesn’t scare me like it did seven months ago)
I spent this year as a ghost
And I’m not sure where home is anymore
I came out swinging from a
South Philly basement, caked in stale beer and sweat
Under half-lit fluorescents and I
Spent the winter writing songs about getting better
And if I’m being honest, I’m getting there
I came out swinging from a
South Philly basement, caked in stale beer and sweat
Under half-lit fluorescents and I
Spent the winter writing songs about getting better
And if I’m being honest, I’m getting there
I came out swinging from a
South Philly basement, caked in stale beer and sweat
Under half-lit fluorescents and I
Spent the winter writing songs about getting better
Well, if I’m being honest, I’m getting there
