Lyrics The Wonder Years

The Wonder Years

A Raindance In Traffic

I'm fanaticizing about doing a raindance in traffic.

I'm fanaticizing about a storm to wash me away.

Well if you'd study the laugh-lines, you'd see that I'm cracking.

But I spent six months now feeling like dead weight

The fighter in me must have died a long time ago.

I must have been watching his ghost

Just going through the motions

Just putting on a face.

It feels like 1929 and I'm on the verge of a great collapse today.

Every window in this house faces a brick wall.

I'm panicked and absent like a bird in a cage.

Well the word from the front lines says that we're out-gunned

but I can't walk away. No, I can't walk away. No, I can't.

The fighter in me must have died a long time ago.

I must have been watching his ghost

Just going through the motions

Just putting on a face.

It feels like 1929 and I'm on the verge of a great collapse today.

I was just happy to be a contender. I was just aching for anything.

I used to have such steady hands, but now I can't keep them from shaking.

I was just happy to be a contender. I was just aching for anything.

And I used to have such steady hands, but now I can't keep them from shaking.

(Can't keep them from shaking)

I was just happy to be a contender.

(I can't keep them from shaking)

I was just aching for anything.

(I can't keep them from shaking)

I used to have such steady hands

(I can't keep them from shaking)

I used to have such steady hands

(I can't keep them from shaking)
