To those of you who are 16 and under here, enjoy these times. adult life isn't so bad but you'll spend a good chunk of your time longing for the pure happiness you could only feel when you were young and free
@@nightprize right me too... But I'm one of those people that def peaked in highschool... I was pretty awesome back then. My life was great and I didn't even appreciate it really
It's been nearly 9 years since the first time I ever heard this song.... And it still guts me as much as the first time I heard it.. The last minute always gets me... The sadness and desperation in his voice... Flawless song.
Feeling so nostalgic....TBS, Hawthorne Heights, The Used, From First to Last. And listening to them now makes me realize things do get better no matter how shitty your life feels at the time. These songs make me feel completely different now 10 years later. So many memories.
I discovered Taking Back Sunday only this year, and I always listen to them whenever I need something to cheer me up. "Cute Without the E" may have come out ten years ago, but it's truly the song of the summer for me.
She says, "Live up to your first impression." "My best side was your worst invention" "Can't you live without the attention?" "Can't you live without the attention?" I wonder how many people actually screamed these exact words at Adam.
While I certainly appreciable the nostalgic reminiscing, I wish people would talk more about their technical proficiency and the music itself in their comments. For example, the layering of vocals on this track is just..... AHHH!!!
i started listening to this band in 7th grade and now im 18 , i never wanna look back. i know all these comments are saying wow i feel old. but i dont wanna let go to this, listening to this now still feels right..
Can't believe how long it's been since I first heard this song. I still enjoy it. Where You Want To Be gets played end to end at least twice a month even after all these years.
This album was basically a soundtrack to my 10th grade year in high school. Still great to listen to, TBS is, and will always be, a fucking great band,
tears coming back to me man i miss these days of real love music i allways get hurt and very sad my babys mama commited suicide not to long ago and we where in to the scene of all with real good music you name it
also all bands in this time of a strong peace in america but now a days its not the same any more this type of music was what that generation was dominate i dont care how much you say nothing can top this kind of music srry now a days rap music
I came here to listen to some awesome music with an amazing message, not to tell people I don't know about my love life on youtube, unfortunately I don't have that special to share this with.
ah, falling in love is different than pleasure :P meeting girls is not out of question, just the deeper connection. didn't give up, just focusing on other rewarding things at the moment
This describes exactly my pathetic love life for the past two years. Every time I hear it, I laugh a little because it seems to remind me of exactly how pathetic we both are. It's probably my most and least favourite TBS song for that reason. xD
Go on, just say it You need me like a bad habit One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone Are you afraid to say what you want to, tell me you want to? Go on, just say it You need me like a bad habit One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone Are you afraid to say what you want to, tell me you want to? Well, I hold my tongue, use it to assess The damage from way back when it mattered But nothing seems important anymore We’re just protecting ourselves from our self And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down I don’t think I’ll ever come back down I don’t think I’ll ever come back down I don’t think I’ll ever come back… Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to? Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to? Go on, just say it Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to? (Go on, just say it) (Go on, just say it) Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to? (Go on, just say it) (Go on, just say it) I’m making the difference It just seems pointless With all the obvious lines all out of focus Why can’t you just be happy? Why can’t you just be happy? And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down I don’t think I’ll ever come back down I don’t think I’ll ever come back down I don’t think I’ll ever come back… (Just come back) Go on, just say it (Just come back) (Just come back) (Just come back) (Just come back) Go on, just say it (Just come back) (Just come back) Well, I’ll just say it (Just come back) (Just come back) I’ll just say it (Just come back) (Just come back) I need you defenseless, dependent, and alone (Just come back) (Just come back) She says "live up to your first impression" Well, my best side was your worst invention Why can't you live without the attention?

Why can't you live without the attention? Why can’t you live? Why can't you live? Why can’t you live without, live without? Why can’t you live? Why can’t you live? Why can’t you live without, live without?
THis song is rad! What's wrong with all you chaps - cheer up! It's such a great song, you're making it sound depressing. Yeah, the content is deep and whatever, but it's so powerful, loud, empassoined - it's great to listen to.
Trust me, the whole rock scene feels stale right now. But it is however bringing awesome and way more truly extrodiniary elements into play, making for amazing music.
everyone knows this song is amazing so I won't bother with that... I do want to thank @CoolMan0912 for the awesome lyric work with the video. All TBS songs should feature fade in and fade out background vocals! they are always the highlight of the song! (Just come back!) You're awesome
When they ask you, why not just say...yes I am. Being proud of who you are is cool, and if others don't think so, forget them. I know it seems like a long time when your in 8th grade but in a few short years you'll graduate and never have to deal with crap from people like that for the rest of your life. Junior high and high school is a very small part of your life. Most people around you are teenagers, and people will grow up.
@MetalQueen0814 sometimes that is what makes them even more amazing.. The only thing that makes this song better are the memories and feelings it brings back to surface
LordAizenDaGreat awww :)u honestly couldn't have seen that at a better time :) thank you, I hope your smiling wherever you are! And have a happy new year.
LordAizenDaGreat Lol it was sweet! I wanted to thank you again after reading but u said goodbye so I didn't wanna bug haha. You seem great hope to see you around youtube more :)
I can't help but imagine a guy in he's mid 20's walking way from a abusive relationship and the woman is the one saying "I need you defenseless dependent and alone" then guy is shown as the one being abused

To those of you who are 16 and under here, enjoy these times. adult life isn't so bad but you'll spend a good chunk of your time longing for the pure happiness you could only feel when you were young and free
If you're spending time longing for the past, you're living the wrong future.
Nostalgia has been my biggest addiction as an adult.
💯 FACTUAL
@@nightprize right me too... But I'm one of those people that def peaked in highschool... I was pretty awesome back then. My life was great and I didn't even appreciate it really
Couldn't of said it better myself.. except for adult life not being so bad, these last 8 years have been rouuugh lol.
Why is it that all these emo songs are so much more relatable now that im 28 and not 16
Carley Meinhardt truth.
Now you have lived through all these songs.
Carley Meinhardt same yo.. must be why I’m listening to them again!!
Brainwashing. There’s no more cucked music that what we grew up listening too. Every song is about a girl cheating and the guy having to deal with it.
Cause you have lived your life to feel certain things songs make you feel relatable.
Been listening to TBS for ten years, and somehow their lyrics are still relevant
Still relevant +2 years past your post.
Still relevant
Been listening since 2002...still relevant in 2019....
katy if you still have this youtube account, come back here
still a DECADE UNDER THE INFLUENCE, well maybe 12 years, lets say more 10 plus
Best TBS song ever. I still get chills every single time, especially when Adam gets into the "Does this live up to your first impression?" part.
It's been nearly 9 years since the first time I ever heard this song.... And it still guts me as much as the first time I heard it.. The last minute always gets me... The sadness and desperation in his voice... Flawless song.
Now it’s been another 9 years, have another listen.
Feeling so nostalgic....TBS, Hawthorne Heights, The Used, From First to Last. And listening to them now makes me realize things do get better no matter how shitty your life feels at the time. These songs make me feel completely different now 10 years later. So many memories.
Neat Monster now lead singer from first to last in skrillix throwing down on the daily
Good ones and bad ones lol as the hums of our misfortune peak, the hardest lesson learned.
Lesson learned 😔
27 now and this still hits me in the feels..... Enjoy young ones
One of the greatest lyrical songs of all time.
I love how they drag that ending out ugh it could go on forever as far as I'm concerned
hahaha this comment put a smile on my face. true shit
This has got to be my favorite song of all time. It's been that way for the last 4 years since I first heard it. They couldn't have done it better.
I discovered Taking Back Sunday only this year, and I always listen to them whenever I need something to cheer me up. "Cute Without the E" may have come out ten years ago, but it's truly the song of the summer for me.
She says,
"Live up to your first impression."
"My best side was your worst invention"
"Can't you live without the attention?"
"Can't you live without the attention?"
I wonder how many people actually screamed these exact words at Adam.
Definitely one of the best pump up/summer songs out there
+tjd2466 Pump/up sounds like a penis enlargement machine.
My all time favorite band.. their music has got me thru so much, I love you TBS!!!
Saw TBS in Liverpool in I think 2008 - awesome gig. The layering of different sets of lyrics is genius.
Still my favorite of theirs, 13 years later.
Jonathan Miller same so much I’ve had to relive playing them ..
This song live...was amazing. It is now my absolute favorite song from any TBS album.
While I certainly appreciable the nostalgic reminiscing, I wish people would talk more about their technical proficiency and the music itself in their comments. For example, the layering of vocals on this track is just..... AHHH!!!
Bryan Tali The layering is my favorite thing about TBS. In person, close your eyes and you cannot tell if it was John or Adam.
i started listening to this band in 7th grade and now im 18 , i never wanna look back. i know all these comments are saying wow i feel old. but i dont wanna let go to this, listening to this now still feels right..
Stephen Ray that's because it IS right. ♡
Admit it, you need me like a bad habit was my quote on my myspace. 😂
Nobody cares.
Yeah I do need you like a bad habit
I care.
Call and response vocals on point.
these are some of Fred's best vocals, excellent song
Can't believe how long it's been since I first heard this song. I still enjoy it. Where You Want To Be gets played end to end at least twice a month even after all these years.
Defenseless, dependent!
Ahh so good.
Brand new, blink, and tbs for life.
Amazing band. I will listen to them till I'm senile
jeff I'm in the same boat.
this is easily my favorite song TBS has ever recorded. with "where you want to be" being my second favorite album by them.
The bass line is so good. Can’t wait to see these guys again
This album was basically a soundtrack to my 10th grade year in high school. Still great to listen to, TBS is, and will always be, a fucking great band,
I love TBS, i just got into them and they are awesome! I don't think I'll ever come back down! :)
tears coming back to me man i miss these days of real love music i allways get hurt and very sad my babys mama commited suicide not to long ago and we where in to the scene of all with real good music you name it
also all bands in this time of a strong peace in america but now a days its not the same any more this type of music was what that generation was dominate i dont care how much you say nothing can top this kind of music srry now a days rap music
cool story bro
this is one of the greatest songs in the entire planet
Taking Back Sunday is my guilty pleasure band, and this is by far my favorite song by them.
You've got no reason to feel guilty about loving TBS!
TBS is the BEST band ever, that's that.
Cant wait to see them again on Sunday (lawl) always brings me back to my teenage days.
No matter how distracted you are at the start, this song ALWAYS grabs your attention by the end.
this brings back soo many sad memories......i hate it when good songs are tied to bad memories
I came here to listen to some awesome music with an amazing message, not to tell people I don't know about my love life on youtube, unfortunately I don't have that special to share this with.
What I wouldn't give to be in the crowd screaming this at the top of my lungs 😩 I miss concerts!
One of the best albums back to those good 'ol days.
A song that relates to my relationship with my last girlfriend so much, its just so nostalgic beautiful like.
david entendu whats the similarity?
Ten years later; and I still love you.
My favorite taking back sunday song. I can't wait to see them :)
from 2:10 onwards the best minute and a half of a song ever my heart literally starts thumping with adrenaline everytime i listen
Ohhhh i LOVE this SONG!
this song is so epic i love it especially the ending with the guitar its AMAZINGGG
Fire always. Pure gold for life
awwwwwww when little me was still able to fall in love
Yea, I know what you mean. I gave up, I got a dog and a fleshlight... The poor mans lover,
ah, falling in love is different than pleasure :P meeting girls is not out of question, just the deeper connection. didn't give up, just focusing on other rewarding things at the moment
After 2 horrible long relationships, I agree. An academic and creative approach is the way I keep some focus and hope for the future.
yup. invest in yourself, give back to the community, and good things will show up for you.
your comment hits home really hard man.
I hope you know what you did to me here. Crying in the club right now.
This song should have way more hits
one of my top favs (band)of the late 90s
He loves me dependent & defenseless and i dont want to come back down.. I think I love it more
Very well done.
This describes exactly my pathetic love life for the past two years. Every time I hear it, I laugh a little because it seems to remind me of exactly how pathetic we both are. It's probably my most and least favourite TBS song for that reason. xD
Go on, just say it
You need me like a bad habit
One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone
Are you afraid to say what you want to, tell me you want to?
Go on, just say it
You need me like a bad habit
One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone
Are you afraid to say what you want to, tell me you want to?
Well, I hold my tongue, use it to assess
The damage from way back when it mattered
But nothing seems important anymore
We’re just protecting ourselves from our self
And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I don’t think I’ll ever come back…
Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to?
Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to?
Go on, just say it
Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to?
(Go on, just say it)
(Go on, just say it)
Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to?
(Go on, just say it)
(Go on, just say it)
I’m making the difference
It just seems pointless
With all the obvious lines all out of focus
Why can’t you just be happy?
Why can’t you just be happy?
And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I don’t think I’ll ever come back…
(Just come back)
Go on, just say it
(Just come back)
(Just come back)
(Just come back)
(Just come back)
Go on, just say it
(Just come back)
(Just come back)
Well, I’ll just say it
(Just come back)
(Just come back)
I’ll just say it
(Just come back)
(Just come back)
I need you defenseless, dependent, and alone
(Just come back)
(Just come back)

TAKING BACK SUNDAY IS THE SHIIZZZ
Going to their concert tonight in Atlanta GA!
my best side was your worst invention. damn.
i absolutly love this song!
God damn, I love TBS.
When emo brought people together rather than it dividing like most music/society does now.
Underrated song. A+ ⚕️⚕️⚕️⚕️⚕️
Thanks for the tip, I haven't actually. And I don't know if I can say I like Fazzi more than John, but Fazzi is definitely one of my favorites.
Super pro lyric editing I haven't seen anyone time this shit so well.
sick song love TBS
love this song so much
Still love this 🥲🥰
Best song on the album
why isnt this more popular
why can't you just be happy? love this song
Is it weird that I listen to this and kinda miss being this depressed?
2019 still here !!!!
This song, it just leaves me feeling so ...... but I love it so much
I love this songggg:)
love this song
THis song is rad! What's wrong with all you chaps - cheer up! It's such a great song, you're making it sound depressing. Yeah, the content is deep and whatever, but it's so powerful, loud, empassoined - it's great to listen to.
Love this song!
I remember this song and my first blunt... yes.
Fucking memories man
riiight?! lol ahh
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY?!!!!
I feel old listening to this :/
Trust me, the whole rock scene feels stale right now. But it is however bringing awesome and way more truly extrodiniary elements into play, making for amazing music.
CatchingYourClouds Cover is amazing.
everyone knows this song is amazing so I won't bother with that... I do want to thank @CoolMan0912 for the awesome lyric work with the video. All TBS songs should feature fade in and fade out background vocals! they are always the highlight of the song! (Just come back!) You're awesome
I miss Fred, where you want to be and louder now are my favs
When they ask you, why not just say...yes I am. Being proud of who you are is cool, and if others don't think so, forget them. I know it seems like a long time when your in 8th grade but in a few short years you'll graduate and never have to deal with crap from people like that for the rest of your life.

Why can't you just be happy?
@heavenznice just listen at 2:00, it's sung much clearer and it's obvious it's "defenseless, dependent, and alone"
I want to go back to my room and lock the door at mag soundtrip buong gabi ng mag isa . Emo Days high school days
i like taking back sunday. :j
i do not think i will ever come back down
She says, "Live up to your first impression." Well my best side was your worst invention. Can't you live without the attention?
Just come back.
This is cliche but it reminds me of high school, getting over ex girlfriends and shit
Yep
Word. When we thought life was so difficult lol
Try divorce :0
LordAizenDaGreat awww :)u honestly couldn't have seen that at a better time :) thank you, I hope your smiling wherever you are! And have a happy new year.
mizz marie Sorry for the long babbling message earlier. I have a bad habit of doing so. Have a blessed lifetime.
LordAizenDaGreat Lol it was sweet! I wanted to thank you again after reading but u said goodbye so I didn't wanna bug haha. You seem great hope to see you around youtube more :)
I can't help but imagine a guy in he's mid 20's walking way from a abusive relationship and the woman is the one saying "I need you defenseless dependent and alone" then guy is shown as the one being abused
@fearlessable1 Thank you, this is one of the comments i'll think of whenever i hear this song now.
I wish they still were together and made music :/
this song explains me and my first boy i fell for. .
Well, it's 2024, and it's still relevant.
cant you live without the attention
@MetalQueen0814 i hear you, i was going through a bad phase in my life when I listened to this
@Thunderkleez1 I love it cuz it works as a question to a specific person but also a general question to the world.
