I wake up every morning with this song in my head.  Especially the lyrics,

"Do you want me to just go away?
I just wanna be your nobody
Is there any chance that I can stay?"

Heartbreaking.

Love the heartbreaking songs the most! Now I have this song stuck in my head again…

Billie's vocals on this are soooooo good. 

[Wouter1994]

This song really got me the most. When listened to the record first time. 

Does remind me of my ex girlfriend in a beautiful way. Specially : "Did we take the time to make amends?" We met again a year after the breakup to talk about it. 

I hope se did dedicate a song to me. I think about her when listening to whatsername. I forget her, but not the time...

But seriously I don't hear the comparison. If anything this song has REALLY grown on me since the album release

More Beach Boys than Backstreet Boys!

This is an ignorant comment tbh. Billie himself said it was inspired by Teenage Fanclub and The Pretenders.

If you are not up to speed on TF, they are one of the best jangle pop bands of all time (been around since the early 90s and are still making music and touring today). This is one of my favorite songs of theirs https://youtu.be/UK_CuMJJLwg?feature=shared

Funny this song was just at the top thread today. Somehow this song has risen to the top for me. It’s my favorite song to listen to.

It may not be the one I want to hear at shows the most, yet but it, more so than others shows a side of them and B’s writing that hasn’t really been done before and it can take him (and therefore me) into his older age.

This is a good car song. Yeah they have a bunch of them like MDP but this one hits that GD spot while staying remaining and chill and while for sure at a show I want to lose my shit, I’m listening to them more at home and driving then while knocking you little people on your arses  … This song to me might be the not sure how distant Green Day.

Just a thought. It’s also just an awesome old old school song that sounds like Billies favorite breaks and progressions from the 50s and 60s and turn them into whatever he wants (all of the boys, Jason too because he does usually write the solos). Kevin did some ghost writing on this album as well btw.

Father to a Son was my favorite but this may have tied it. This needs to be a single this would be a hit in any decade in rock music
