I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral Lyrics:

Clear the Apartment. I plan on collapsing and I could have sworn I heard a car door slam.

I'm stuck at the corner of grinding teeth and stomach acid, all alone under a soft rain and

streetlamp. I spent my life weighed down by a stone heart, drowning in irony and settling

for anything. Somewhere down the line all the wiring went faulty. I'm scared shitless of

failure and I'm staring out at where I wanna be. I just want to sell out my funeral. I just

want to be enough for everyone. I just want to sell out my funeral. Know that I fought

until the lights were gone. I'm walking through harbors and churchyards. I felt the snow

crack under my feet. I'll stay thankful for mild winters, for every shot I got at anything.

I'll blame the way that I was brought up or the flaws that I was born with or the mistakes

that I've made. They're all just fucking excuses. Bury me in the memories of my friends

and family. I just need to know that they were proud of me. Oh, we all wanna know.

Where'd the American dream go? Did you give up and go home? Am I here alone? Oh,

when the credits roll, I'll watch as the screen glows; the moments when I choked, all the

fears that I've outgrown—at least I hope so. 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. I'm sorry I... I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times. Is this what it

feels like with my wings clipped? I'm awkward and nervous. I'm awkward and nervous

but I was kind of hoping you'd stay. I need you to stay. Oh, god, could you stay? I need

you to stay. I need you to stay. I need you. If I'm in an airport and you're in a hospital

bed, then, what kind of man does that make me? What kind of man does that make me?

I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me. All we had were hand me-downs. All we had was good will. Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me here with my wings clipped. I'm staring up at the sky but the bombs keep fucking falling. There's no devil on my shoulder; he's got a rocking chair on my front porch but I won't let him in. No, I won't let him in. 'Cause I'm sick of seeing ghosts and I know how it's all gonna end. There's no triumph waiting. There's no sunset to ride off in. We all want to be great men and there's nothing romantic about it. I just want to know that I did all I could with what I was given.

It must be fucking daunting to have to follow this record. But I have no doubt that The Wonder Years are capable of it. Every record is leagues beyond the one before it.

The fact they tie in almost every other song on the album (I think they leave out Madalyn) makes it so perfect. Its almost like a gift for the fans who listen to the whole album enough to catch it. It seriously brings out the feels. Its hard not to tear up.
