This is the closest To this friend that I've been I hope you find it On greener ground and bluer skies I hope you don't think less of me If I'm cold I don't want to watch you go and I'll cry Until I can't see the whites of your eyes For two more years (two more years) We'll be Old enough to know better Young enough to pretend This is the last of my letters I hope you find my home And I hope you're the first one in I know it won't be the same I'll be there if you need anything At all you want to be Run around the world with me State your distance but It's not a million miles away If this is what will really make you happy Then I'll say We'll be Old enough to know better, Young enough to pretend This is the last of my letters Until I see you, See you again
Amen to this. High school was still just as shitty then as it is now or whatever. My fondest memories of this song? Listening to it on my DISCMAN (oh god), eating my lunch alone in the library. Cool huh?
Well, you were a thousand times cooler than I was in high school... I was all NIN and TOOL and "Polly" by Nirvana on repeat. It's a good cutting song. So is almost the entire Mer De Noms album. THAT'S what I did in high school... Just could never manage to cut deep enough, so here I am. Bad day, bad day, bad day, that all it is, it fades as quick as it swells, just hold on, buttercup...
i started off with Something To Write Home About, but once i got into 4 Minute Mile, I could sense the raw emotion poured into every song. This album is great, and each song is as powerful as it can be. I could listen to this whole album on repeat for the rest of my life, hell, ive had it on repeat for the past 2 months
This song switches up more than any I've heard. Like 5 songs in one. This and 'better half' are the best. Takes me back to when my kids were in their teens.
Gosh....Flashback of the early 90s when I got my license and my girlfriend and I would play this shit as long as we could crying about our break ups! Ha ha!
@wrarmatei Well, I like it because it was an interesting story and it was one of the few novels that I've read that managed to keep my attention. I'm not much of a reader myself, especially with novels and fiction. I was forced to read it in English in Grade 7, but it entertained me and with a novel, I expect nothing more than that. I also saw the movie and thought it was brilliant as well.
@wrarmatei maybe it means more to kids because it was written by a girl who was the same age as the kids reading it. i personally love the book. even if it's a little bit badly written, the story is what gets kids into it. i feel like you should at least recognize the fact that kids these days even take an interest in reading. maybe you should re-read it after you get your head out of your ass. just because it didnt connect with you doesnt mean it cant mean something to anyone else.
Theres NONE of these fucking songs on CZcams, I would ask you to upload the rest of the album but yeah I don't want to overwhelm you, it's just a little ridiculous how I looked EVERYWHERE just to hear "Don't Hate Me" or "Shorty" or "Come Clean" and it's nowhere on the fucking internet, bullshit.
well, this band came around on the heels of an emo explosion, but by the time they released their first albums that garnered any notorietyu, most other emo bands had broken up. pretty much everything that came after 1997 is "third wave emo", which i really dislike. it's also notable as being the least innovative type of emo. this band isn't terrible, a lot of the bands that they influenced are though. and in the grand scheme of things, they weren't that inventive.
I'll always love The Get Up Kids and The Outsiders!
This is the closest
To this friend that I've been
I hope you find it
On greener ground and bluer skies
I hope you don't think less of me
If I'm cold
I don't want to watch you go
and I'll cry
Until I can't see the whites of your eyes
For two more years (two more years)
We'll be
Old enough to know better
Young enough to pretend
This is the last of my letters
I hope you find my home
And I hope you're the first one in
I know it won't be the same
I'll be there if you need anything
At all you want to be
Run around the world with me
State your distance but
It's not a million miles away
If this is what will really make you happy
Then I'll say
We'll be
Old enough to know better,
Young enough to pretend
This is the last of my letters
Until I see you,
See you again

Coming Clean is still regular listening here
one of the greatest songs ever.
Everybody talking about how they jammed this in highschool back in the day and im just like shit this is college music to me 🔥👊🏼😎
I’ve got you all beaten. This was one of my favorite songs in 7th grade (9 years ago).
freshman crushing on seniors
I didnt think 18 years later this song would still be getting me through heart ache
that opening riff depresses me every time for some reason even though this song isn’t that sad
for me it's pretty sad, reminds me of my girlfriend that moved out
DITTO!! I was only 15 when I first heard this and I still felt the same way that I do now and I’m 37.!
the prechorus onwards is incredibly bittersweet tbh
TWOOO MOOORE YEAAAARSSSS!!!!!!
TWOOOOO MOOOOOORE YEHEHEAAARSSSSSS
oh my god this song...i still know the words,and i still can't help but scream them. wow high school.
Drunk + CZcams= Paragraph comments.
Still love this album.
:40 one of the bass lines I've been humming to myself for over 20 years. Thank you Rob for writing that one.
Same here! Got me through all that high school bull.
I always come back to this video, and I fucking love that vocal melody at 1:44, "run around the world with me" - fuck, I love it so much.
DITTO!!😊💙
:[ man, I missss my four minute mile record too much. But i still get to listen to this one 'cause it's on Woodson.
Old enough to know better young enough to pretend.....
Hoy después de 16 o 17 años de escucharlos, por fin los vi en vivo. El segundo tema que tocaron fue este, lloré mucho, fue todo hermoso.
la concha de la lora qué envidia blda. Y yo llorando desde Mza ( u_u)
"Old enough to know better, young enough to pretend."
Gosh....Flashback of the early 90s when I got my license and my girlfriend and I would play this shit as long as we could crying about our break ups! Ha ha!
I like this song!
I'm surprised nobody made an Outsiders edit with this song on Insta yet.
I just said to my younger sibling who’s non-binary now, “stay gold pony boy”. They responded “you too soda pop”and i have been in shambles since
Okay I have no clue what everyone's fighting about but uhm...I just came to enjoy this rad song
yea but it is a pretty great book and i havent read a book since like a year ago
Best tguk song?
Definitely
I still think Don't Hate Me is /the/ TGUK song, but this one is probably their best yeah
best album ever
This video gets a thumbs up from me simply because of The Outsiders reference.
If you grew up in Tulsa, You fucking know what this song means.
+Lonnie B. i grew up in ohio and i know what this song means.
i grew up in atl and i know lol that movie makes me tear up every time. cant even lie.
from atl as well
Thanks for uploading, I've been looking for this song! :D

just as gay + angsty as the book the title is taken from. thank you Kansas, for balancing out the Westb*r* Baptists 🌈💛
this is the last of my letters until I see you
see you again
you came to this video to post this.
This is the only Get Up Kids album I can't listen to all the way through, lol.
This is the last of my letters
The singer sounds SO MUCH like Blair Shehan from Knapsack and The Jealous Sound.
It always gave me Jawbreaker and Knapsack flashbacks
I disagree. I can instantly tell when Blair is singing, he is so distinctive.
epic
i actually saw it in a related video to another emo band, and decided to state what i had thought of the album when i listened to it.
@TehKrakerzGuy I got all of those in mp3 versions off itunes for 99 cents like 6 months ago.
Hope that helps.
i'm right with you man haha
My Goal is to upload this whole album and im gonna do it.
can you upload the rest of this album? such a great album :)
@wrarmatei maybe it means more to kids because it was written by a girl who was the same age as the kids reading it. i personally love the book. even if it's a little bit badly written, the story is what gets kids into it. i feel like you should at least recognize the fact that kids these days even take an interest in reading. maybe you should re-read it after you get your head out of your ass. just because it didnt connect with you doesnt mean it cant mean something to anyone else.
@TehKrakerzGuy 'SHorty' Is on the related videos.

I love the outsiders, but I can't even understand the words in this song...
@qtel55 Please, brings me back to high school
people using the word 'crushing'.
@SIZZLEBIZZLE1982 I will my friend. I will also send you an inbox when i get them up! :D
Not I.
well, this band came around on the heels of an emo explosion, but by the time they released their first albums that garnered any notorietyu, most other emo bands had broken up. pretty much everything that came after 1997 is "third wave emo", which i really dislike. it's also notable as being the least innovative type of emo.
this band isn't terrible, a lot of the bands that they influenced are though. and in the grand scheme of things, they weren't that inventive.
I consider you lacking musical knowledge of anything indie and/or emo for making a statement like that.
i consider this band pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of emo
