Washington Square Park Lyrics - The Upsides - 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
