Yellowcard es una banda estadounidense de punk rock formada en Jacksonville, Florida, en 1997. La banda es conocida por su distintivo sonido que incorpora elementos de punk rock, pop punk y rock alternativo, junto con el uso destacado del violín, algo no muy común en este género. La formación original del grupo incluía a Ben Dobson (vocalista), Ben Harper (guitarrista), Sean Mackin (violinista), Warren Cooke (bajista) y Longineu Parsons III (baterista).
En 1999 lanzaron su primer álbum, "Midget Tossing", que les permitió captar la atención de un público local. El segundo álbum, "Where We Stand" (2000), consolidó su presencia en la escena musical local, pero aún les faltaba un gran salto hacia el reconocimiento nacional.
En 2001, se produjo un cambio crucial en la formación cuando Ryan Key reemplazó a Ben Dobson como vocalista principal. La nueva alineación trajo consigo una evolución en su sonido. Con Key a la cabeza, la banda lanzó el EP "The Underdog EP" en 2002. Este lanzamiento atrajo la atención de Capitol Records, quienes firmaron con la banda y los ayudaron a grabar su primer gran éxito comercial.
En 2003, Yellowcard lanzó "Ocean Avenue", el álbum que los catapultó a la fama internacional. El sencillo homónimo, junto con otros éxitos como "Way Away" y "Only One", se volvió inmensamente popular, y el álbum fue certificado platino en Estados Unidos. Ocean Avenue no solo estableció a Yellowcard

You sat me down beside myself
To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you
Was this for real? It's hard to tell
'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into
I'm gonna overcome this, paper hearts can't win this time
And all along I should have known this wasn't your dream, it was mine
I know you wanted me to give up this life to be
Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in
I was never good at goodbye...
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
When we were starting out, you believed in me without a doubt
You were the finest thing to happen to a boy like me
It's so much harder now, I wanna try and tell you how
There is so much love in me, even though it's hard to see
And I was never good at goodbye...
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
Today I couldn't stay awake
Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake
I won't be sleeping much tonight
It's not the same without you lying by my side
(Right beside me)
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
I know you wanted me to give up my life to be
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
Everything I am when you're the only thing that I can see
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
I'm sorry but you're not the, not the only one for me
(So this brain in my head can forget your face)
You left me here beside myself
Left me with all the reasons why I was wrong for you
