The Wonder Years - Everything I Own Fits In This Backpack [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I woke up today
And put all my shit in boxes
It's 8 AM so I'm glad I wasn't out late
And I woke up today
Guess it's good I hadn't finished
Unpacking all of this in the first place

[Insturmental Break]

[Verse 2]
Suburbs have abandoned me
I've had the same best friend since '93
I call he's not answering (no)
I can't get comfortable on my own street
I'm not fond of South Philly
Or how my neighbors love ICP
I guess it's better than Bancroft Street
At least the fridge here works and the walls don't leak,
At least I'm starting to see
What's left for me
I'm starting to

[Chorus]
We moved on again, so
I packed my shit and left home
It's alright to think I still belong to something I don't
'Cuz I could see why you'd think so

[Verse 3]
Nothing made me feel further away
Than "Left and Leaving" through a blown car stereo
Nothing made me feel closer to home
Than "Ready to Die" through my headphones
So we reached the coast
Where do we sleep tonight?
Damned if I know
We'll try to stay in the airport
Can't send us home and we got no place to go

[Chorus]

'Cuz I could see why you'd think so

Don't say it's up to me [x3]
Don't say
Don't say

[Verse 4] ("Don't say" underlying throughout)
The creaks in the floorboards are calling out to me
I'm laying here again
With my head on my backpack
Wrapped in my hoodie
This is how it is when

Don't say it's up to me
Don't say

[Chorus x2]

I stacked "Lonelier than God"
Next to "You Get So Alone Sometimes"
I know how this must look from the outside
It took almost thirteen months
For me to be where I feel fine
I'm not as sad as I let myself believe sometimes
