My good friend died a few weeks ago and this was his favorite song, lyrics describe the situation kind of and although it makes me sad when I listen to it I love this song because It reminds me of you. RIP
***** They are not "posting the lyrics", they are quoting their favorite parts. They want to emphasize it for themselves and the other posters. Nothing wrong with that. Every time you read a quote in a book, do you write them an angry, passive-aggressive letter as well? And do you do that for every single quote you ever read? I can imagine, you apparently already being so flustered about people just posting pieces of the lyrics in the comments section on UA-cam.
kidz bop edition: "with tears in my eyes i begged you to stay, you said hey man i love you, but no way jose" y'all i posted this comment 5 years ago and came back to it now to discover it has 4k likes wtf thank you guys! 🤯
Ashley Washburn they're just trying to be positive, I know it's hard to be happy just like that but it's good to have at least a positive outlook on things
I don't know what it is about The Front Bottoms, I'm not sure if I even like their style of music or the guy's voice but they make me feel so nostalgic or something. There's just some certain emotion their music makes me feel and I can't pinpoint what it is, but I love it.
I think the reason we all feel this, is because their songs are just so fucking genuine. Like you can tell this guys gonna through some tough shit, just by the lyrics.
@@phychomaniac26 Music is more than chords and bars, you can't say they aren't good musicians just because they don't meet your idea of music. These guys transmit more than many music elitists, and that, at least for me, makes them better musicians.
@@andresgonzalezmesta6278 well I think they're great songwriters. But when I think of somebody being a "musician" I think of their proficiency with instruments
*"it's no big surprise you turned out this way, when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change and they cut your hair, and sent you away."* This song has always got me but this part in particular. Because I remember when I first came out to my bio parents as trans and cut my hair my mom said that I was a disappointment and constantly behind me too change. And eventually my birth parents have me away. It just hits hard.
For me it was because I was gay and when I came out (after a failed suicide attempt) my mom told me to pray and change and my dad kept trying to convince my mom to send me back to Saudi Arabia cause he was convinced I was being influenced by Canadian culture. Later when I grew out my hair he kept pestering me to cut it and everytime it would hurt.
Sounds like a gay kid getting kicked out of his house for being the way he is, and his friend is heartbroken over it. Ending sounds like something said gay kid's mom said to him or something. Probably what he told his friend right before he left. That's just my personal interpretation.
The lyrics from they cut your hair to “with tears in my eyes” is literally about a friend of the singer that was going to be sent to a conversion therapy camp! Good eye! Or ear
no no, teen: •drug addict "this is for the snakes(drugs) and the people they bite", "for the friends(drugs) i've made, for the sleepless nights (comedowns)", "for the warning signs i've completely ignored (anti-drug campaigns", "there's an amount to take (drugs), reasons to take more (now addicted)" •rehab "and they cut your hair and sent you away", "when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change" (blindness of their parents)
I've been so in love with this song here recently and i just want everyone to know how much this song means to me. im emotional tonight and i need this like literally.
this is exactly how i feel about their song "be nice to me". its like no one can ever really know how highly you love and appreciate a certain song, you know?
+Bailey MacAuley I just looked that song up. I've heard it before I just never listened to the words. You're right, no one can understand why a song means so much to you. and that's why it's so special. you know the words and they speak to you.
" i wanna contribute to the chaos, i don't wanna watch and then complain Cause i am through with finding blame that is a decision i have made " "with tears in my eyes i begged you to stay you said'hey man i love you but no fu*king way"
i saw them live with a brand new this last tour, and tfb fucking killed it live . I don't like alot of it so much recorded, but live.. it gave me that feeling I get listening to brand new. that REAL feeling.
"This is for the snakes and the people they bite; For the friends I’ve made; for the sleepless nights; For the warning signs I’ve completely ignored. There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more. It's no big surprise you turned out this way. When they close their eyes and prayed you would change And they cut your hair, and sent you away You stopped by my house the night you escaped With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay You said, “Hey man, I love you but no fucking way."
I have a family member that's deaf and when she messages me she fucks every word up idk why but every deaf person I've talked to over message can't type correctly so just saying.
"with tears in my eyes, i begged you to stay, you said 'hey man i love you but no fucking way,'" that lyric to me is so flipping relatable. like, i've been in both positions, both just so so desperate to leave everything and everyone you know and escape into the unknown and also to try and keep someone you love with you, instead of having them leave to a place where you won't be able to fully love and care for them. there's something heart-wrenchingly beautiful about that i think, to have two different people with such strong emotions in one setting. i love the front bottoms.
since we've all got our favorite lyric, i just wanna say, "I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don't wanna watch and then complain" makes me wanna get up and work hard at something.
I first heard this song from my ex the first night I met him. He was one of the talents for karaoke night and I remember thinking, 'dammit' when I first laid eyes on him. He was exactly my kind of poison that I couldn't resist. Decked out in all black with a leather jacket and the lightest blue eyes. Obviously always had a thing for a sad guy with a guitar. Lol He sang from depths that made me curious and mesmerized all at once. When he sang the line, "She hopes I’m cursed forever to sleep on a twin-sized mattress In somebody’s attic or basement my whole life. Never graduating up in size to add another..." I thought to myself what sort of love did he have to illicit such an emotion or sentiment from someone. Little did I know that I would be with him for two years and by the end of it all...I also shared that sentiment. It was more of a beautiful omen than anything else. See also, Sometime Around Midnight by the Airborne Toxic Event for a similar emotion.

Every night
actual lyric: "and my nightmares will have nightmares everynight" future lyric suggestion: "and my koala bears will have babies. they will be baby koala bears. but they wont be babies for long and they wont ever really be bears"
EDIT: Ok jesus christ i dont remember traumadumping my abuse this entire comment on this lyric video. For my own comfort im redacting the information, but thank you all who wished me well in the replies. This song genuinely DID help me back when I was a 15 year old struggling with PTSD and I hope this song helps others like me, too. Have a nice day.
I know this is from a while ago and I hope that you've forgotten about that abusive person. If you ended up coming back to them, please, for your own sake, leave her. She is destroying you and you don't deserve to be destroyed. You deserve to live happily and healthily without people like her. You are not responsible for any of her actions, like her cutting. She chose to do that, you did not make her do that. You did nothing wrong, you are a good person. They are the bad one. I know sometimes it's hard to remember. I recently got out of an abusive friendship, so I can sorta relate. I understand that it's really hard to not go back to them, especially when they're trying to reel you back in. I really, really hope that you've resisted any urges to go back to your abuser and that you're living a much better and healthier life without her💖💖
Every comment is from at least a year ago, I can't believe I never knew about this band nor this song way back. I'm so glad I found it, I feel like every line speaks to me. Thank you.
Warning! Vent: To me it feels like this song is being sung to me, that I'm not the one singing, but being talked to. The lines "With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said 'Hey man I love you but no fucking way'" particularly. I recently broke up with my best friend... kinda. It was forced amicability. Story: I couldn't stand by and let my best friend - someone I would do anything for - be manipulated by a narcissist. When I tried to tell her as much, the narc and I fought over her (very publicly), and my best friend left with the narcissist. Later that night, my best friend texted me telling me that she hated how I spoke to the narcissist (who had been insulting me for months) and that we could only be friends on a "limited basis." While in her eyes I was a monster, she still wanted me to stay. I told her, in so many words, "No fucking way." I still love and miss her, but she made her choice and broke my heart. And you know what hurts worse than her choosing a literal narcissist over me? The fact that she used my advice - smiling when uncomfortable - as she told me "I'll text you about it." My heart fucking broke. From the bottom of my heart, fuck every single narcissist. You already stole my childhood, and now another one of you had to take my best friend?
the first time I heard this I thought it was about a band member, then running away from home and 3rd time suicide all bc: With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said: "Hey man, I love you but no fucking way." and that line is stronger than any I've heard
The part that relates to me: 0:48 *It's no big surprise you turned out this way, when they closed their eyes and beg you would change* Cuz it's really no surprise to anyone I turned out the way I am, and my mother and father are begging me to change.
Well, some people just don't feel certain ways, that doesn't mean they haven't been through a lot. And plus there's not "enough" to have to go through, if someone hasn't been through much, that's totally a good thing, nobody deserves to have bad things happen to them
This song was really the blueprint for me in the 6th grade. I’m a freshman and wow. This song still hits the right spot in the best and worst ways possible.
i listen to them so i can cry without actual tears falling and this just punched me in the face because some of us are all here for the same reasons and that is amazing and terrifying all at the same time
this made me tear up because of the situation im going through and this fucking song. my god, I don't even know you. but thanks. god, thanks. I want everything to work out. I hope it's good for you too.
*"Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face. There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say. And it is no big surprise you turned out this way."*
the song lyrics really speak to me. i want to be at the point in my life where i can listen to this and feel completely happy and confident. i hope that one day i’ll be able to reach that but it’s probably just not gonna happen.
I’ve come up with an entire alternate universe of my life because of this song. I’ve developed a whole plot line between my friend and I to this song. This song has been so influential on me that it’s created a whole world in my head.
old ass video and old ass comments, but wanted to write my favorite lyric "I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage, maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies"

"you said 'hey man I love you, but no fucking way".

I don't wanna watch and then complain
'Cause I am through finding blame
That is the decision that I have made
She hopes I'm cursed forever to
Sleep on a twin-sized mattress
In somebody's attic or basement my whole life
Never graduating up in size to add another
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night
Oh, every night. Every night
Peyton Sawyer Thanks
This is literally a lyric video
i remember listening to this song when in school walking the same route twice in the lunch break because i had no friends and felt like shit
actual lyric: "and my nightmares will have nightmares everynight"
future lyric suggestion:
"and my koala bears
will have babies.
they will be
baby koala bears.
but they wont be babies
for long
and they wont ever
really be bears"
you're welcome.
A lyrical genius.
Everyone: vibin with their own emotive lyrics
Me: vibin with my tiktoks
"Its no big surprise you turned out this way"
"never graduate in size to add another and my nightmares will have nightmares every night"
EDIT: Ok jesus christ i dont remember traumadumping my abuse this entire comment on this lyric video. For my own comfort im redacting the information, but thank you all who wished me well in the replies. This song genuinely DID help me back when I was a 15 year old struggling with PTSD and I hope this song helps others like me, too. Have a nice day.
Hope it gets better ^^
I know this is from a while ago and I hope that you've forgotten about that abusive person. If you ended up coming back to them, please, for your own sake, leave her. She is destroying you and you don't deserve to be destroyed. You deserve to live happily and healthily without people like her.
You are not responsible for any of her actions, like her cutting. She chose to do that, you did not make her do that. You did nothing wrong, you are a good person. They are the bad one. I know sometimes it's hard to remember.
I recently got out of an abusive friendship, so I can sorta relate. I understand that it's really hard to not go back to them, especially when they're trying to reel you back in. I really, really hope that you've resisted any urges to go back to your abuser and that you're living a much better and healthier life without her💖💖
randomgooberness I hope your well now..
I sincerely hope it’s all better now
Wow I rly hope things are better now
Every comment is from at least a year ago, I can't believe I never knew about this band nor this song way back. I'm so glad I found it, I feel like every line speaks to me. Thank you.
This just makes me remember of all the friends I kinda lost every time I moved
Warning! Vent:
To me it feels like this song is being sung to me, that I'm not the one singing, but being talked to. The lines "With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said 'Hey man I love you but no fucking way'" particularly. I recently broke up with my best friend... kinda. It was forced amicability. Story: I couldn't stand by and let my best friend - someone I would do anything for - be manipulated by a narcissist. When I tried to tell her as much, the narc and I fought over her (very publicly), and my best friend left with the narcissist. Later that night, my best friend texted me telling me that she hated how I spoke to the narcissist (who had been insulting me for months) and that we could only be friends on a "limited basis." While in her eyes I was a monster, she still wanted me to stay. I told her, in so many words, "No fucking way." I still love and miss her, but she made her choice and broke my heart. And you know what hurts worse than her choosing a literal narcissist over me? The fact that she used my advice - smiling when uncomfortable - as she told me "I'll text you about it." My heart fucking broke.
From the bottom of my heart, fuck every single narcissist. You already stole my childhood, and now another one of you had to take my best friend?
I could cry everytime. Love this song so much.
love from Germany
Omg. Deutsche!!
Hail!
God one of my favorite songs EVER idk if that’ll ever change
the first time I heard this I thought it was about a band member, then running away from home and 3rd time suicide all bc:
With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said: "Hey man, I love you but no fucking way." and that line is stronger than any I've heard
The part that relates to me:
0:48
*It's no big surprise you turned out this way, when they closed their eyes and beg you would change*
Cuz it's really no surprise to anyone I turned out the way I am, and my mother and father are begging me to change.
"for the warning sign I've completely ignored"
I think the lyric that speaks to me is: it's no big surprise you turned out this way.
if this song doesnt hit you in that place you haven't been through enough.
Destiny King
That's deep
It's nice to know I have the right to feel the way I do.
Destiny King tru m8
Destiny King girl bye
Well, some people just don't feel certain ways, that doesn't mean they haven't been through a lot. And plus there's not "enough" to have to go through, if someone hasn't been through much, that's totally a good thing, nobody deserves to have bad things happen to them
My friend who passed this year this was her favorite song this song will always have a special place inside my heart
Why does this reminded me of be more chill.
.
So glad to know where the original is from, went to a Hobo Johnson concert and he sang this song and I loved it 💕
the comment section is full of people who commented years ago and i wonder how they r doing now
I thought I was the only one who thought this
This song was really the blueprint for me in the 6th grade. I’m a freshman and wow. This song still hits the right spot in the best and worst ways possible.
If you're reading this, I hope you feel better tomorrow.
Oakily Doakily This...actually helped a lot
IronicAppreciation that's good to hear
Thank you...
i listen to them so i can cry without actual tears falling and this just punched me in the face because some of us are all here for the same reasons and that is amazing and terrifying all at the same time
this made me tear up because of the situation im going through and this fucking song.
my god, I don't even know you. but thanks. god, thanks. I want everything to work out. I hope it's good for you too.
I like that everyone finds meaning in a different section of this song.
0:49 that sounds like tyler joseph
yeah, it really does...
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
SAME
i thought the same exact thing
it doea
THIS WAS SO AMAZING LIVE
so good it hurts
*"Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face. There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say. And it is no big surprise you turned out this way."*
*gets a matress ad*
Anyone here from that amazing BMC edit? ~
Hamilton Trash )

m a y b e
Hamilton Trash YES
Hamilton Trash H O W D I D Y O U K N O W ?
Hamilton Trash LMAOOO I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT BUT HELL YEEAHHH
everyone has their lyric so i guess mine would be “ *its* *no* *big* *surprise* *you* *turned* *out* *this* *way* ”
I love this song either when I'm crying or feeling depressed.
I was already depressed because I lost a friend this night and this just made it worse
TheKawaii Sushi I'm sorry about your friend, and I'm sorry you're feeling bad :( Sending you good wishes and love, I hope you feel better soon
Channercorn Thank you! Sorry for not replying!
Missing the time when I first found this music through an old friend
why am i hearing this only nowww???
♡ damn im crying
the song lyrics really speak to me. i want to be at the point in my life where i can listen to this and feel completely happy and confident. i hope that one day i’ll be able to reach that but it’s probably just not gonna happen.
I’ve come up with an entire alternate universe of my life because of this song. I’ve developed a whole plot line between my friend and I to this song. This song has been so influential on me that it’s created a whole world in my head.
I feel like I needed this song...
this song reminds me of Paper Towns so much
sameeee
same!!
"With tears in my eyes, I've begged for you to stay" 😫
Matthew M. Wow I'm like a minute in and this is pretty good
old ass video and old ass comments, but wanted to write my favorite lyric
"I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage, maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies"
“For the warning signs I’ve completely ignored”
“ *And it is no big surprise you turned out this way* “ sounds like sumthing my mum would say to me...
I thought this was McCafferty for years
"She hopes I'm cursed forever on a twin sized mattress in somebody's attic or basement my whole life" fav part 💖
A friend showed me this song and he thought i hadnt heard this song and i screamed rhe lyrics at the top of my lungs
For those of you from tiktok, I think you guys are looking for 0:55. Hope this helped!❤
