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

Do you remember when I said you were my only one?
We were running underneath the California sun
Well now I look at you, and you're still more than I can take
You're like a slow song, starting to accelerate
And all my life, I looked for you
For arms that I could fall into
All I can think about is
You and me driving with a Saves the Day record on
We were singing till our voices were gone
And I was falling hard, you were barely hanging on
And now I wanna chase forever down, with you around
You're making movies in your head when you fall asleep
Having nightmares, dreaming that I'm gonna leave
I know you've always been afraid of ending up alone
Somebody hurt you, now you're waiting on a dial tone
But I'm right here, so don't get blue
It's not just you, I need this too
All I can think about is
You and me driving with a Saves the Day record on
We were singing till our voices were gone.
And I was falling hard, you were barely hanging on.
And now I wanna chase forever down, with you around
We were running underneath the California sun
Underneath the California sun
All I can think about is
You and me driving with a Saves the Day record on
We were singing till our voices were gone
And I was falling hard, you were barely hanging on
We put a record on
Kept singing till our voices were gone
And I was falling hard, you were barely hanging on
And now I wanna chase forever down
(We were running underneath the California sun)
I just wanna chase forever down, with you around
