LYRICS
I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners of this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth
It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life
This is my all time low
Somehow it feels so familiar
Somehow it seems so familiar
I feel like letting go
And every second that goes by
I'm screaming out for a second try
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell me the truth
It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes
I've got to live with them rest of my life
This is the mess I've made
These are the words I can't erase
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
And it twists like a blade
And kills me for the rest of my life
If you won't forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life...

This song I cry everytime I played it. Less than Jake is the most underrated punk band ever they deserve a lot more credit. This song talks about the truth and hard times.
Man up
My wife just left me, driving home from work singing this song while crying might be one of the most cathartic things I’ve ever experienced.
How's it going for you today?
@@PaperRaines all good my man. Thank you.
@@brendandoherty256 🙌🏾💯
hope you're even better now ! :)
@@helo9845 by a million. Thank you.
I’m 37 now. Retiring from the army in a few months. Looking at my wife and kids and thinking about the friends lost, hearts broken, and bridges burned that have led me down the path I’m on and I wonder why I deserve this. My best friend introduced me to LTJ back in 02. He was a troubled vet who essentially drank himself to death in 2018 as I was prepping to head to Afghanistan again. I can’t listen to them and not think of him. Rest in peace, John. Thank you for being my friend. I’ll live for the both of us.
I grew up with this band. I am 40 now. My wife is from Taiwan, and she was never exposed to this type of music before. When I played this song, she said, this is a special song. I was like, yes, yes it sure is... you get it! I love you!
Please tell me I'm not the only one who still cries every time I watch this video
You're not the only one. Believe me
Nope. Reminds me how bad i fucked up as a father
Every time.
You are. I only cry about 100 times.
@@brianrath7237 yo. Shitty Father, are you dead? Your kid(s) dead? No?! Oh, then try every MTHRFCKNG day from now until then. I really hope you read this tomorrow and change.
Sincerely,
the Son of a shitty Father
I'll check back in a week to see if you responded. Let's talk. No, I won't take anything out on you.
The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an
adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he
forgives himself, he becomes wise.
- Alden Nowlan
Love this quote
Love that quote
its hard to be wise.
Alden Nowlen was a celebrated Canadian poet, novelist and playwright. He died from emphysema at the age of just 50. RIP.
We can all read, we don't need you to type the quote.
Looking at these videos make me feel like I'm going back in time. UA-cam is probably the closest thing to time travel we'll have.
I lost my best friend, 10yrs ago. We grew up in FL., listening to LTJ. This song always makes me cry. So true, nobody in the WORLD 🌎 , is as honest as your best friend...😭😭
I have to admit.
This song is one of the few who (still) makes me cry.
Sitting, thinking it all over.
What i did to people, what i let people do to me.
Things said, things never said when i had the chance.
SortenRavn life is not simple. It could be, but we’re just human.
I feel you man. It is a powerful quote. I think many people can relate so strongly becuase they have been taken advantage of, felt like they've been wronged, harbour all these strong feelings against others. But we don't take the time to step back and see how incredibly imperfect we all are, and cast stones despite of our own imperfections. But that's why the quote is so beautiful, when we can forgive others, and forgive ourselves. And the saddest thing is, I don't think I'm there yet.
Felt
The journeys never over every piece of shit you’ve gone through has got you to today never stop walking forward
Well said
This song still makes me cry. Yeah I'm very emotional guy. It's a great song.
nothing wrong with that bro...let if flow....it makes me cry too
Ditto. Especially after the last couple of years
I played this song over and over again when I had a cancer scare. When I finally heard it live, I broke TF down. This was 9 years ago and it still gets me.
Same bawl every time I watch this video. Which for some I do every few months or so. Cleans the soul I guess....
U don't cry to this ur not human bro one of the best music vids I've ever seen
Thank you , Less Than Jake, for many wonderful memories, friendship and shows at the little bars in Gainesville 15 years ago or so. This song still makes me emotional.
My wife of ten years passed away a year ago. Losing her will kill me for the rest of my life. So many things I wish I could have said and done. The rest of my life is dedicated to you my love.
Best wishes to you! Keep her memory alive through music!
I’m so sorry for your loss…
So sorry for your loss mate. Keep your chin up please, you are not alone x
Truly sorry, I hope you’ve found some peace with your insurmountable loss.
She would want you to make yourself happy pal, I'm sorry about your wife
This song brings me tears. I started apologize once I turned 40 to those I hurt. Some forgave, some did not. For those who didn't, I respect thier decision. I feel at peace with myself🙏
Better late than never
One day at a time my bro!
Im wondering what was so bad that you have done that its not Worte to forgive 30 years or so later
@@loonysinger6210 some people are like that unfortunately. I still respect thier decision. I still feel at peace to say "I'm sorry"
This song came out around the time I lost a friend. He was hanging out with the wrong crowd. I always regret calling him less. Not telling him exactly how I felt. You are missed friend.
thats sad
I raise a glass to your passes friend. Do not cry that they are gone be glad that they lived.
Had flash backs writing this, but Im a gang banger, n I seen a lot of people go when I could have not only helped, but saved their life. I was hanging round with the wrong croud n the wrong mindset to where people died an I'd make jokes bout it Kuz violence, overdose, n overall death was jus so fucking common bro. It's sad but its true... All you can do its praise the lord that IT WASN'T YOU!!! And live on and achieve a life they wish they could. Repent, educate, and make the world a better place. That's what true friends want Bro!! To take misery n make beauty out of it. I hope you get this reply Justin, n if not things get better.
Rip Bigz. Rip OG. Rip God Ma. I know she looking down on me with a can of Coors light in her hand right now lol I love you Mamas
Reminds me of my ex wife and kids,. I was able to repair my relationship with them. The ex and I aren't together but my kids and I have a great relationship. I'm an ex drunk. Shit on a lot people. I'm in recovery now since SEPT 1st 2016. Life is good! Never thought for a minute that I would ever get it back. Never even knew I wanted it. So glad I hit bottom before it was too late! Still here
Congratulations on 5 years sober Lee!! 🤘
nice bud, congrats🇿🇦
That takes strength man. Well done
Never surrender!!! bro... keep spirit...
All curses have a blessing my brother!!! I pray you're still sober and close with your kids!!! I hope you never loose the real sight again but I don't think you will✊ keep strong my man!
Im here cause of Sound hund. searched for a complete different Song but this is amazing. never heared of this Band before. instant sub😊
This song is so underappreciated.
So true
This is the most underrated band of all time.
I seen this band live twice, when they toured this album and anthem. They put on a great show
100% agree.
Definitely one of my favorite bands. Been listening to them since high-school. 96-2000.
Wouldnt say its the MOST underrated of all time
But both in its time/hayday and in general it was (sadly) way too unappreciated
But wouldnt call it the most underrated
Best comment of comments
bands like this will never die out
i just wish todays music was this good
TheDct88 uh... what? Less than jake is today's music and if you look in the right places you'll find LOTS of great music. Stop just repeating what you hear on the internet and look for the things you like instead of complaining about them not coming to you.
you comment makes no sense.
i never repeated anything
and this isnt something i hear on the net
TheDct88
You basically said today's music ins't like that anymore. I'm telling you it is, you just need to look for it. Moaning about today's music is definitely something you find on the internet way too much because people are just too lazy to look for the music they actually like and just end up listening to mainstream and complaining about it.
TheDct88 u have young bands with no exposure, too many music out..
the problem is the bands out now are in it for the money but back in the days of the who and the Beatles and all the classics they were in it for the music
This song will forever have a special place in my heart
13 years and this still hits hard...
.... like a goddamn brick
im just discovering this band. going to see them in a few months as theyre supporting BFS. its going to be a good night
no matter how many times I watch it: it always brings a tear to my eye.
Me too
+solarcreative thats such a weird thing to see in a comment section "my sister was the child hooker" it sounds so f'ed up.... Either way its cool you're sister is in the video.
Within thirty seconds for me. It's a powerful video. And a great song.
Gabriel V-XIX she did a great job. Why did you say was your sister is she still not your sister?
I need to stop watching it everytime I'm drunk and sad. It absolutely wrecks me without fail. God I wish I had a chance to do things over
I'd say the music video makes this song more powerful. I love the music video. The sheer humanity that it shows is chilling to the bone.
Chandler Schmid RIGHT!? I've listened to this song 100 times before watching the video and it made me feel so much then i watched the video and i still can't watch the video without tearing up a little bit.
I love seeing a video like this, and then scrolling through the comments and seeing stuff from 5, 8 10, and 12 years ago... and here I am in 2023, still WAY into LTJ! (Side note... for a time check, Losing Streak was one of the first CD's I bought with my allowance back in the day...)
It's an endless source of fascination/amusement that the only two who didn't "grow up" or face/resolve their issues at the end are the two (presumably married) individuals at the end.
They were also the only ones who remained as children at the end.
this song brings a tear to my eye.
it reminds me of the difficulties i am experiencing with my son right now and how influencial our actions as adults can have on our children. we are not perfect parents, we do our best and sometimes we fall but what seperates the good from the bad is how we pick ourselves up to make amends for our those mistakes.
hope things are going ok with your son now.
My son sebastian Brown was killed in Feb 2023 and his friends told me he loved this band. I listen everyday now
I finally found this song after years and years! So happy
10 years!!! Can't believe that!! It looks like yesterday! Very criticized album In With The Crowd... But i think is one of the best LTJ albuns.
agreed. I love that album.
Even after 10-11 years(?) this song never stops being good.
I use to be obsessed with this band as a kid. 10 years later.. Still love them
I first heard this song 4 years ago, a couple months prior to me hearing this song i had been assaulted. Nobody knew about it and i felt so alone. The worst part was how hard i was on myself, i blamed myself for what happened so harshly. While listening to this song for the first I started sobbing. It opened up my eyes and it lead me to forgive myself, and accept it wasnt my fault. Which later gave me the strength to start telling people about it. ❤
i still get goosebumps watching this in 2020
Same. Chokes me up every time
Same 2021 ;)
2023 and still a jam
This is still, definitely, one of my top music videos that I've seen.
One of the best vocal lines/melody ever written in music.
Just came here after 10 years, can't believe I still remember the words! So awesome.
It's crazy how powerful this song is, It hits close to home.
2017 over here, havent listened to LTJ since like 2002-2003, decided to go on youtube and listen to a couple tracks. Never heard this track or seen this video...struck me like a bag of bricks to how relavent it is in my age of 28, awesome
skateinspace same here, I’m 35 now. Last I listened to them was 2002 ish. It’s crazy being an adult and realizing that no “adult” actually knows what the hell is going on.
5 years older now. More regrets and more sorries no doubt
I have loved this band forever, I was able to see them several years ago with State Champs, and it was a memorable night. This song is will always get to me.
I discovered LTJ through Playing Tony Hawk's Games on The PlayStation 2!
Never Regreted It since! ;)
ATV Offroad Fury 3 for me.
I discovered them the same way, too, but playing THPS 4 instead.
This song resonates with me more than any other song.
After nearly taking my own life a couple of years back, this song speaks volumes to me. Makes me tear up every time.
So sorry to hear that. But dont worry about a thing, cause every little things gonna be alright *sing*
I'm happy you're still here
@@PaperRaines me too :)
One of LTJs best songs! This band can do no wrong. This song was what i listened to a lot when i was going through shit, it's very relatable to me, years ago when our family dog (who was my only friend at the time) died it broke me, this song was there for me and it will always remind me of her.
IDK why, but this music video has me breaking down in tears...when I saw that cop car with a kid driving it and the way they portrayed kids as adults in this music video it's just something really special. It just really makes you think...
Such an underrated yet meaningful song. Thank you so much for making a song that helps me with my adulthood 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
One of my Closest friends who i grew up with died last year at the age of just 16 and i chose this song to be played at his Funeral. R.I.P Michael
I have had this song stuck in my head the past few days. Glad I watched the video. It was a good reminder of what's truly important in life. Always makes me cry.
I've always liked this song but one of my best friends died around a year and a half ago and everytime since then I listen to this song it hits HARD. Such simple lyrics and they cut through the bone and muscle and really, truly hit your very soul. That's powerful stuff!
The first music video to make me cry. A simple idea, powerfully pulled off. Well done.
I lost my brother 9 years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t feel like there was something I could’ve done to stop his passing. This song definitely hits hard, but has definitely helped in a way.
wow. this song is so beautiful.. cant help but to tear up everytime i listen. we all make mistakes but if everyone in the world was more forgiving, it would be a better world to not be afraid to bring a child in...
Without this song i woldn't be here today. It changed me in so many ways... For the best
Me too
u can listen to it like 5000000000000 times and you still love it
i get shivers everytime the violins hit their peak, i love this song, and i love this band, i owe them everything
Ive seen it 100 times but its still one of the npst powerful music videos I've seen.
Nejlepší písnička na světě ❤
A couple of years ago I was dating this amazing girl. Without getting in to the details, I broke her heart, and at the time I barely even cared. Looking back now I realize what I bad person I was to her. With this song playing as my inspiration, I messaged her online saying that the next time she comes home from college on the other side of the country that I wanted to meet with her and apologize face to face for how poorly I treated her in the past. It's time to face my past mistakes.
How did it go bud
We need to hear how it Went..
Man, you Cant leave us hanging in suspence like this
She killed him :'(
@@Pleasekillmysonsdad lol
Reminds me of my ex boyfriend, I wish he would see the mistakes he made when it came to me, as I've seen the ones I made. But I'm not going to try to force him to.
When this song came out i had to say good bye to my best friend. No matter how many times i tried to be there for him he always made the wrong choices so i had to say good bye. Years later he got his act together and now has a family of his own. Sometimes you just have to leave people you love behind so they can reflect on thier choices they made. I'm glad that once again we are on good terms and i can once again call him my brother.
Alex Alicea wow I have a friend just like your situation but two weeks ago said bye to him again and this time for good I've been waiting for thirty years for him to grow up and it's pushing 55 now and he's still living in the past its sad but can't help if he won't help himself
@@EzaVinylAddict wow man sorry to hear that. As long as you know thst in your heart you did everything in your power to help your friend out thst is what matters. Once he realizes he's all alone he will remember you and if he really cares about you he will remember everything you did for him. It's hard to leave someone who is close to you. It took 2 years of me not picking up the phone to see how he was doing. What got him talking to me was a picture i posted last year with a mutual froend of ours and that triggered alot of good memories we had. It may take awhile for your friend to see things clearly. Just keep the door ajar just for him to make the first move. And only then. It is a good time for you guys to have that heart to heart talk. If he values your friendship he will listen and consider what you say to him. I hope for the best for both of you my friend.
Kick ass song we love less then Jake 🇨🇦
Canadian eh?
it took me 6 years to find this song ( no kidding ) first time i watched i was on 4 grade, on mtv , but i didnt know english ( im brazilian ) so i aways search on google : "adults turn into kids" and today i finally found this master piece.i can die happy now ( sorry for bad english )
Finalmente! Pesquisei "music video clip children like adults at job" para achar esse clipe!
I feel you, i was looking up punk band music videos and finally found it
I saw these guys yesterday at Beautiful Days festival in England and instantly fell in love. Now finding songs like this for the first time is incredible
I found this again through a playlist. Late 2000s must've been the last time I heard this.
I've loved this genre for years but never checked out this band and finally decided to. This song is an amazing first impression and I'm adding them to my list. Oh wait, I've heard She's Gonna Break Soon at some point and just didn't know who it was at the time.
I liked this song when i was a kid but im even more blown away listening to it as an adult.
I'm so sorry to hear...such a great song to choose...R.I.P Michael.
15 years pass. Still cry every time I hear this song.
Tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of LTJ's Losing Streak (not this album, I know but still) I've been listening to them for decades now I feel so old! This song and Brightest Bulb/Screws Fall Out are my top 2 favorite songs. I saw them for the first time in 2015, they didn't play this but they played Brightest Bulb/Screws Fall Out as their encore and I just about lost my dang mind!
how I wish 90s could come back. ..... less than jake immortalized them....
Growing up over seas my family packed up and moved quite a bit. It got to the point they ended up sending me to school in the states to live with my grandmother. So many friends I never got to say goodbye too. No matter how hard I try I still haven’t been able to find them. While some of them do have addresses associated with the United States. Facebook literally won’t show anything even searching their full names from my old yearbooks.
It has literally been dragging me down for years. I’d do anything to just be able to have a conversation with them.
I got no warning and one morning I woke up to my bags being packed for me and was taken to the airport to be sent back.
Makes me cry! Every. Fekkin. Time. Love these guys
Less than Jake didn’t have to make sad songs. Their live shows are so much fun and upbeat.
Why you gotta do me like that LTJ?
Such a great song and video
It´s great that you like this song, you should make a cover :D i´d love to listen to it
As are your songs, Jenn!
Jordan Marino Oh why thank you Jordan :)
Jenn Fiorentino I hope this happened you are my favourite acoustic youtube cover artist. Spent hours listening to your videos (mainly the rise against covers)
I have crazy tough skin but seeing us as kids just shatters me.
I feel that the world should watch this once this year
This song is basically saying that life is too short to hold grudges. You shouldnt cut people out of your lives for petty reasons because you never know when they may leave your world forever. Sorry for your loss, and I hope this was helpful.
How can a human dislike this song?
Matheus Manzke vo sabe
Because everyone has different tastes.
Cuz they are sellouts
Renouq lel Tokyo Ghoul, i see what you did there...
Most likely they are friends with Johnny Quest.
All of my past mistakes are made better by this song. I have loved this song forever!
One of my favorite songs of all time for Less Than Jake
THIS IS A GREAT SONG, I THINK ABOUT IT EVERY TIME I THINK OF MY DOG JAKE WHO I HAD FOR 18 YEARS HE WAS A BEAST SUCH A HUGE AWESOME POWERFUL DOG!!! LOVED ME TILL THE DAY HE DIED AS I DID HIM!!!
found out about this band 6 years ago through a runescape video.. never regret it
RIP Fat Wrecked, how I fount this song too
I found out exactly the same way too! talk about making me want to be 11 years old again.. hahaha
Hahaha same, no shame about it either
Jack Evans runescape played a big part of my childhood.
***** :))))))))
Long live less than jake 👌🏽👌🏽
what a truely amazing jam that Never gets old. A well written guide to approach in life.
I dedicate this to my best friend Brock, I miss you brother
R.I.P. Fatwrecked you might be gone but you will never be forgotten.
5 years and still remembered.
True fans never forget.
God I miss those good times.
This song always reminds me Fatwrecked!
aKEVzy that's why I still listen to this song at least once a week, it's been almost 6 years now since he passed away and I still miss his fun video's
Fat wrechords is still around. What the hell are you on about?
I can never turn this song !!!
To this day.
Mood.
❤
Songs like this have kept me around.
Eu escutei essa música em 2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011... e continuo escutando agora em 2012... que venha 2013, 2014, 2015...
Existem músicas que marcam uma fase da nossa vida!!! Outras permanecem marcando agradavelmente, e essa é uma delas!!!
Sou Brasileiro - Adamantina - São Paulo... Não importa de onde eu sou, de onde você é, se a música é boa ela agrada à todos, em qualquer lugar do mundo, é esse o poder que a música tem em nossas vidas, somos todos unidos por um só som!
Abraço amigos.
My father, who was also my best friend in the whole world, committed suicide while I was in prison. He was an incredible person who dedicated his life to helping other people through charities, benefits, fundraisers, it's what he did and everyday I wish I could trade places with him because he deserved better and I didn't. This song, feels like every lyric speaks to me "Said goodbye to my best friend. It's gonna kill me the rest of my life. Let me apologize while I'm still alive. I know it's hard to face, all of my past mistakes. This is my all-time low. I feel like letting go. And every second that goes by I'm screaming out for 2nd tries."
Thank you for sharing this
That's similar in a way to something that happened in my life.
The regrets I have looking back, the final words, when I never knew they were going to be the final words - were far less poised and thought through than I would have liked them to have been.
The ways in which I failed him. Hurt.
Although, the fact that if he were still here - there's essentially zero real chance that I would have grown up at all without losing him , and being forced to face what I had been ignoring in my poor behaviour and selfish perception of things.
My hurts are loud.
And I am disappointed in myself for many many many things.
But if there is one thing I am grateful for, it is that I have the opportunity to feel that pain, that hurt, and instead of relive it , but continuing to do the same things to myself and others in my life, failing them, causing confusion, causing hurt.....I am gifted the opportunity to work through that, come out the other side - and if I try really hard - then perhaps I may even be happy again once day - the kind of happy that finds it's way to you, but only once you learn how responsible you truly are for not only yourself, but everyone you know and interact with... And sometimes even those you don't!
It's a very hard state to be in to know you caused discomfort or hurt or stress in someone's life that you loved.... And when they die - before you figured out what a twat you are - and apologising and healing from it ...... You have to break apart and work all the way up rebuilding yourself from the very bottom up - to try and find all the bits along the way that ended in the moment you got the phone call (in my case, the moment I found him hanging).
So that , even though your in hell, and there's the impossible task of forgiving yourself to try to find a way to manage...... Even then - at the very least , if you become 1% better from the hurt you had to go through, at least you have that small gain.
Not only you, but the people you meet our the ones you care about already - finally get to be around you when you have no room to be anything other than your most thoughtful, your most aware , your best self really.
Why?
Because now you know the stakes.
They are far too high and they take you down far too low, not to learn from them and grow into something who has less of a chance of having to experience that moment ever again.
Or at least... If you do..... You don't have to question all the ways in which you were a part of it.
Regret. It'll kill you if you let it.
Those kids are incredible actors.
No matter how many times I hear this song or watch this video, I always end up crying. Like out of control bawling. As a long time LTJ fan, this is the one that hits me hardest. From here to Gainesville, thanks.
this is the first time ive watched this video..and i love how after theyve realized their mistakes and they choose to forgive or apologize then do they become adults
Such a jam
This is so sad and inspirational and happy at the same time. I wish the world was more positive and i wish more people would help each other instead of hate and attack each other.
Thug2 got me hooked on these guys when I was little. It's 2018 now and I still can't stop listening and I'm still appreciating the brilliance of this music video.
...NEVER let the status quo dictate your path in life or your propensity for empathy of your former classmates who may have struggled to find their way. Only you; THIS GENERATION, and those that follow YOUR lead, can make the changes that are needed to make this world, and all that follow you, the TRUE version of mankind’s best and brightest.
R.i.p fatwrecked runescape legend..
+Chuck Birmingham Man... right in the feels. I remember that.
rip ash
Chuck Birmingham yes ❤️ legend always
The golden age of Runescape ended with him
He passed away over 10 years ago and is still remembered
what a lyric.simple yet deep.A great song by Less Than Jake
...Reach unto each other, and shoot for the stars…history will follow your lead; and ALWAYS REMEMBER to hold on to your childhood versions of what the world should be. NEVER FORGET that you, the youth of the world, hold all the keys, all the power, and all the kindness to make the changes that past generations have let slip away. Congratulations on everything you have accomplished up until now, and dream big, for the future is yours to mold.
Amo essa música...simplesmente PERFEITA!
