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

I've been here a while
Staring at this screen wondering what I'll write
Things I can't explain
But should've tried to say when I had the time
You were inspiration
When no one else believed
You showed me strength in my skin
That no one else could see
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
I remember how
Like a telescope you could always find
(You could always find)
Something worth a wish
You said every day's a gift and we'll be alright
(We'll be alright)
And something took you from me
I can't understand why
But wherever you're resting
(I'm carrying)
I'm carrying your line
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
(Let's just keep driving on)
(Let's go where we belong)
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope
You're my telescope)
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope)
My only hope
You're my telescope
