The Wonder Years – Summers In PA lyrics

(feat. Alan Day of Four Year Strong & Dan O'Connor of Four Year Strong)

[Intro Verse]
Summer came on way too strong
And the radio played all new songs
So I smile and hum along
I hum along

[Verse 1]
Everybody's finally home
For the first time this year, I feel whole
Because I've been so afraid of being alone
So now I'm heading up 309
Cause I miss this life, and I'll set shit right
We're gonna cause some problems here tonight
Cause Spiro lied about his major and said fuck the whole thing
So he's home to make some bad decisions with me

[Chorus]
There's something about weeknights in the suburbs
And there's something about me and all my friends
Kings of awkward situations
The plum blossoms are falling
I'm more than happy going down with them

[Verse 2]
The casino seemed like a bad idea
But Denny's seemed like a worse one
And I don't think that we'd ever let that stop us
We ended up busted, broken and choking down a Grand Slam
I can't think of a better way for the night to end
Cause we're this generation's Outsiders
But we've got worse intentions, and they've got better haircuts

[Chorus]
There's something about weeknights in the suburbs
And there's something about me and all my friends
Kings of awkward situations
The plum blossoms are falling
I'm more than happy going down with them

[Bridge - Dan O'Connor and Alan Day of Four Year Strong]
I'll be in the backyard laughing out by the fire saying
"I'm sick of running away!
Maybe I'll stay!
We'll be in the backyard causing problems for the neighbors screaming
"We're sick of running away!
We'll stay, we'll stay, we'll stay"

[Chorus]
There's something about weeknights in the suburbs
And there's something about me and all my friends
Kings of awkward situations
The plum blossoms are falling
I'm more than happy going down with them
