Famous quotes by The Wonder Years:

"Change is never easy. You fight to hold on. You fight to let go."

"We had the idea, 'Let's do"

"Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul."

"I remember a place... a town... a house like a lot of houses... a yard like a lot of other yards... on a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I sill look back... with wonder."

"Once upon a time there was a girl I knew, who lived across the street. Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way had to do with her. That day Winnie and I promised each other that no matter what, that we'd always be together. It was a promise full of passion and truth and wisdom. It was the kind of promise that can only come from the hearts of the very young."

"Over the course of the average lifetime"

"I guess sometimes the ground can shift between your feet. Sometimes your footing slips. You stumble. And sometimes you grab what's close to you and hold on as tight as you can."

"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves... for growing up."

"All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us."

I don't understand what's going on in my life these days
Everything upside down turned around
Won't waste my life, no way
And I don't know why
I can't see clearly?
I can't think 'cause it's too early
So many doubts frequent my mind all the time
Our lives in general are one in the same,
But there's no variations
Our lives in general are on in the same
But there's no difference of opinion
In my younger years, I used to be so free
But I don't know what's happening to me
We all know by now that time's the enemy
It controls us, tells us where to be
Don't know, don't care

What would you do if I sang out tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key, yeah
Oh, baby I get by with a little help from my friends
By with a little help from my friends.
All I need is my buddies
By with a little help from my friends
I said I'm gonna get by with a little
By with a little help from my friends
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Said I don't know if that's what I'm sure do to, baby
By with a little help from my friends
Said I'm gonna make it with my friends
By with a little help from my friends
Whoa oh I'm gonna keep on trying
By with a little help from my friends
Said I'm gonna keep on trying.

This is the last time I can say goodbye
The days are running shorter by the hour
We'll look back and realize this was all we had
Through the darkest nights and coldest moons
We'll be heart to heart, more than just brothers
We'll never give up now
Broken locks and car rides home
Break the light so no one knows
Of the times we had, of the hours we spent
Looking back, that's all I have anymore
This has been the best years of our lives
Lets pray that we can say these words forever
The days are running shorter by the hour
We'll look back and realize this was all we had
Through the darkest nights and coldest moons
We'll be heart to heart, more than just brothers

We're dead soon if I don't save you. An asteroid's coming to wipe out the species and, who's with me? We'll die trying, do anything to save our families. My wife says, "Please, don't go. We need you at home. You know how the kids get." So, Gentlemen, say goodbye to your families first. We've got one last shot before a meteor crushes the earth. If we arrive at the ice age first we sing, "tell my mother I'm never coming home." Circumvent the problem with charts and graphs on the nature of impact. Life and death are just words when our hearts are set on being victorious. Let's move men, we've got a plan and miles to go before the sun sets. We stand so tall. We live above this world. We are so fucking invincible. So line up and prepare your tails, men. On my word, swing in unison because here it is. We're oh so easily amused by everything we though we know but oh, my God it's too late. We're blow away. We were giants up until today.

There's always someone on the train with me that wants to talk about everything when I just want to fall asleep. The train is late for the third time this week and everyday its raining around 9:15. I've worn these rails thin and ran for the train again. It's always late to the station. Rush hour came and went, three to a seat and we're filled up with awkward conversation.

I can't take a breath because the air stinks and I can't take a step without listening to your fucking accent while you're saying words with 'R's misplaced. So, fuck Route 9. I can pump my own gas, now you're crossing the line. Fuck route 9. You're water tastes like ass, just stay on your side. We'll leave tonight if you're okay to drive. We'll leave this place behind. Thank God we don't live here all the time.

So, let's spin kick our ways to better bodies, stage dive our way to awesome abs. Let's windmill our way to buffer biceps and mosh the fat out of our ass, so we say "let's lose that extra weight," and today, we'll mosh the pounds away. Get up and dance. If you feel like a bitch while you're doing pilates, a low-card diet doesn't work. If riding your bike's been getting you nowhere and eating salad makes it worse, then we say, yo, let's turn up the bass. Every Friday night, we're losing the weight and in this tiny hall we mosh the pounds away. If you listen up, you can hear us say, "Get up and dance." So we say, put down that slice of cake.

With a smoke bomb you're gone and I'm alone. I'm waiting for you to get home, tired of sitting here with the swords you own. I'm starting to worry about you. Your skin is always black and blue. You can't defend this city all alone, its true. I'm forced away (its nunchucks to the face). I'm missing your warm but deadly embrace. I can't make out the shape of your face. You've masked it with all your honor and grace. Let's not say you broke my heart. You pierced it with a throwing star. It was an accident. I know your aim is off. Jump kicks are getting hard to miss. All I wanted was a kiss. It's getting really hard to live like this. You've been throwing stars at my heart and now we've come this far. I should have seen it from the start. I see that it's finally time to part. You fucked me up with your poison dart. I shoulda seen it from the fucking start.

Sweetheart, you don't understand. Pirates weren't made to dance. We just weren't made for it. We slit throats, we don't cut rugs, but if it means that much, I guess that I could take a chance. We'll both go, we'll both go. I won't ruin your night. You know how I get into knife-fights (What if my leg breaks while we dance?). Then, we'll both go down. So I paint my peg leg for the prom. I've been practicing my dance moves all year long. So you'd better keep a look out, in case I go for second (third) base with my hook out. I went out and got a tux and a limo for the both of us. I pulled up trying to impress. Despite how hard I tried, you cried and ruined our night, just cause my bird shit on your dress. We won't fucking go down. (We spike punch with barrels of rum. We loot and steal to seal the deal.) Say what you will about me and how I do things, but don't you open your mouth about Polly. I guess we made a scene cause in come the police, waving guns and asking me to leave. We won't even try to say goodnight, cause we know that you won't apologize. We won't even try to say goodnight, cause we know that you still think you're right and we mean the things we say. We say just what we mean.

Wouldn't it be cool if we were astronauts, zero gravity, two-one-blast off? Take my hand it's time to leave this place. Wouldn't if be cool if it were both of us, circumnavigate, map the stars out, see the world from here in outer space? We're not trying to get away, just wanna see if the sun stays when we go to sleep. I'll hold your hand past Mars, if Orion looks at your wrong, I just may need to beat those pussy-ass stars.5-4-3-2-1 let's take off. We're clear to go. Everyday, we'll eat toothpaste and pretend we like the taste.

I was peddling sugary drinks to all the little kids for weeks, spending late nights at the factory, making fat stacks for my family, but now my wife's been getting shady. That trick-ass mark don't call me baby. I'll sit by the window sill and if she's got another man, then juice will spill. Thought I had people I could trust like my boy, Captain Crunch. I know he'd never do me like, but behind my back, I found her mouth all cut up, and his hat in the corner. Yo, homes you don't know what I'm capable of. Before Kool-aid picked me up, I ran blocks and sold rock. G's up, hoes down and I'd have all these snitches stomped. Then I grew up and got a real job peddling drinks to all these little snobs and if you think that I fell off then watch you're mouth before you get popped. I'll disconnect the Captain's neck, and make him wish that he was dead. I'll smash your skull like a crunch-berry punk. Keep my name out your mouth, son.

We fell asleep last night watching TV and the images worked their way into my dreams. We were watching turtles climbing the beach. The way she's looking at him is how you're looking at me. So if you miss me, or you get lonely, then you can swim back to me and I'll be watching the sea for when you dance over the breakers and waltz up the beach. Swim back to me, cause you've been gone since spring. You know that we can't breath alone in the Gulf Stream. It's you with those sleepy eyes and heart-shaped shell that keep me awake at night. So, meet me in the shallows off of Cozumel. We'll live our lives covered by moonlight. Maybe we were brought together by the ebb tide. It pulled the world beneath me and left you by my side. What if we swam into nothing? At least you'd still be beside me.

We know the way that shit gets sometimes with bank accounts empty and gas prices too high. We're pushing the van up snowy inclines and dancing with cops on the Virginia road side. We're banned for life from Ft. Eustis. It doesn't make a difference. The sound guy here's got shit against us. We came here to do this. We're six dudes from the keystone state. We're broke as fuck, but we can't complain. We haven't showered in at least four days. This shit's a bust but we'll get stoked on it. In Small-Town PA, we're busting meth labs and drive-by assaulting people in Spanish. ?Donde esta la cave? We're passing out on the couch in Long Island. Through shitty flights and homeless nights we stay tight, cause we're just: (Crashed the van four times in England, made fun of kids with stupid accents, partied on the streets of London.)

You think you're safe but we know what there is to be afraid of, so keep watching your back with a bat in your hands because they want you to be dead like them. They'll break down your door and walk in your house. They'll take your family hostage. Then they'll hold you down and open your skull. They'll eat your brains for breakfast. Why are we so blind? Why can't we see, that they are all the enemy? Why are we so blind? Why cant we see, we have to kill them all to be free? So, I am arming myself with chainsaws and billy clubs. (To fuck you up). I'm barricading my house to save all the people and things that I love. I will stand alone (we can't make it on our own). We will fight here today (we'll keep all of them away). We'll cut off their heads (they'd die if they weren't dead). It's not a game, no they can't stay, no they can't stay. I never thought of it that way. I guess that they could be coming for me. To think, all this time in school just gave them more to eat. I heard they're rabid. I heard that they're insane. I heard they're Godless killing machines. I heard they're ready. I heard that they're coming. I heard we've got to fight to keep our brains.

I've got this job that equates swallowing shit where I puree food for dementia patients, and the commute is an hour each way. I'm so sick of taking the train. I guess that I'm a hypochondriac, cause I'm always sick, or at least I think I am. I wish the Tylenol would kick in cause I'm so sick of feeling the same. We know that everything is going to be okay. All we need is Kerouac and a glass of sweet tea, or burritos and New Found Glory. I'm just trying to get through the week. Hey, do you think that you could loan me ten bucks so that I could buy the new season of Scrubs? I'm short on cash this week and I'd pay you back on Thursday. I've got these friends that hate their fucking lives. I guess that's what inactivity does to the mind. So, I stay busy day and night. I don't have time to complain. Everything, everything, everything is going to be okay.
