This weather is making everything just about a billion times better.

Getting myself awake for the trip down to Boston for the Glamour Kills tour, with The Wonder Years, Polar Bear Club, Transit, The Story So Far and Into It. Over It.

This show is going to be just absolutely nuts. I barely walked out of The Wonder Years alive last time I saw them, and that was even before their new album exploded. I’ve heard that Polar Bear Club shows can get just downright brutal. The rest of them should be just insane high energy pop punk affairs, aside from IIOI, which sounds like it’d be a pretty chill indie/ pop punk sway fest.

If I walk out of this able to stand and speak and hear correctly, then I did something terribly terribly wrong.

The Wonder Years - Coffee Eyes


Two dollars, twenty-seven cents
January seventeenth, 2006
Here in a diner with my friends
Talking about how the year went
A few years later I walk in
Patty knew my drink
And she asks where the hell we’ve been
You used to come here every night
It’s not the same without you kids
I cut my hand on a piece of glass
The time we found Dave half dead in the parking lot
Spent the rest of the night in the ER
I cut my hand on a piece of glass
And I hope the scar lasts
So I don’t forget that

There’s been a table for me there
Through coffee eyes and blank stares
Our late night affairs
There’s always been a table for me there
So you can try to forget or say it’s the past
You know you’ll always end up right back where you left

I ended up here late at night on Thanksgiving
The fall that Colleen left
This was the place to call home
When it felt like the world didn’t want us
I watched Mike slash Mon’s tires
We laughed about it later
I watched friendships dissolve
In the booth on the back wall
I cut my hand on a piece of glass
And I hope the scar lasts

There’s always been a table for me there
Through coffee eyes and blank stares
Our late night affairs
There’s always been a table for me there
So you can try to forget or say it’s the past
You know you’ll always end up right back where you left

There’s always been a table for me there
There’s always been a table for me there
There’s always been a table for me there
Through all of the years
There’s always been a table for me there
Through all of the years
There’s always been a table for me there
Through all of the years
There’s always been a table for me there
