I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
Tearfully nostalgic for them days back in '69
When the world was all just me and Paul
Playing football in the street
And Winnie Cooper was my loveI'm watchin' Jerry Springer make me sick
As America is throwing chairs again and I'm sittin' in mine
It was you and me verses crappy T.V.
Apathetic together and glued to the screen
Just wasting each other's time, alone with youI feel my world is starving
There's a metric-ton of Easy Mac in my soul
You, you know it's not the Matrix
That's a movie and this is life, we're wasting hereDo you remember the day I asked you to be mine?
Fifteen years old, oh, God, I ached for you
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
All that honey-colored air, oh, oh, KateLet's not be weird
Not be weirdI watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
Squandering my wonder years away as the credits roll by
This isn't my life, that wasn't my day
Nor was Daniel Stern dictating what I should say
I'd been waiting for my line, God, I feel so far awayI feel my world is starving
There's a metric-ton of Easy Mac in my soul
You, you know it's not the Matrix
That's a movie and this is life we're wasting hereDo you remember the day I asked you to be mine?
Fifteen years old, oh, God, I ached for you
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
All that honey-colored air, oh, oh, KateI swear it's not too late
To jump out of planes
Go soaring against the sky
I don't know whyIt's cool to be anti-everything
But everything has left us here
Where everyday is so unclean
A Jell-O mold of mud and beerI wanna take you way back
Where the sun is honey in the air
Let's hurry up and leave today
Before we both just slip awayIt'll be okay
