Going Away To College Lyrics

Please take me by the hand
It's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed
I won't turn out the light
Just don't forget to think about me
And I won't forget you
I'll write you once a week she said

Why does it feel the same
To fall in love or break it off
And if young love is just a game
Then I must have missed the kick off
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything
But I'd go through hell for you and

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me

I'll think about the times
She kissed me after class
And she put up with my friends
I acted like an ass
I'd ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful

Going Away To College

Bassist Mark Hoppus wrote this song on Valentine's Day after watching the movie Can't Hardly Wait. He said it's about a guy coming back home and wondering if his old girlfriend will remember him.

Touchdown Boy Lyrics

There's this one guy
There's no one like him
In all the world
'Cause you can always see
Those girls down on there knees
In those dark sweaty rooms
Planning out his thoughts
He's waiting for just the right

One by one as they
Walk right through
The door, they
Keep on coming back I
Guess they just want more

He has fun, fun, fun as you
Might call him a whore, but
Just look where he's at 'cause
He is the one that scores

I saw my friend there
Out on the field today
I asked him where
He's going, he said
"All the way" now

One by one as they
Walk right through
The door, they
Keep on coming back I
Guess they just want more

He has fun, fun, fun as you
Might call him a whore, but
Just look where he's at 'cause
He is the one that scores

Go

Touchdown Boy

This song is about that one guy at your high school/college/workplace, who gets all the girls. The singer is clearly envious of him.

Man Overboard Lyrics

So sorry it's over, so sorry it's over
There's so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over)
There's so much more that I needed and
(So sorry it's over)
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone
Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
'Cause in the end it's fuckin' useless
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long

I remember shots without a chaser
Absentminded thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars put on your gameface
Left you in the bar to try and save face

You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long
So sorry it's over, so sorry it's over
There's so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over)
There's so much more that I needed and
(So sorry it's over)
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

Man on a mission, can't say I miss him around
Insider information, hand in your resignation
Loss of a good friend best of intentions I found
Tight lipped procrastination
Yeah later, see you around

Man Overboard

This song is about finally and sadly giving up on a friend who is beyond the point of no return with alcoholism: "You can only lean, on me for so long, bring the ship about, to watch your friend drown, sit up on the ledge, begged you to come down."

This was rumored to be about blink-182's first drummer Scott Raynor, but it is not. Raynor left the band not because he did not want to be in a punk band when he was 30.

Not Now Lyrics

Come here, please hold my hand LORD now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how
To fight this, God has a master plan
And I guess, I am in his demand

Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see, you when this is done
And now I, have come to realize
That you are, the one who's left behind

Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on, to me
I'm right here, waiting

I see, the light it feels good
And I'll come, back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss

Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on, to me
I'm right here, waiting
And take, my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here, waiting [Repeat: x3]

Not Now

This song is about fear. It could be fear of fate, fear of the world, fear of being alone, etc. He wants company and someone to "hold his hand" and "help" him. When he asks to be shown "how to fight this," the song may be referring to fate. He is afraid of the idea that he can't control his life and he will have to be part of "God's masterplan." (thanks, Chloe - Hampshire, England)

Tom DeLonge: "This song is about when you die, and you've just realized you died. You're looking at your lady, trying to say goodbye, and you can see her and you know she's there, but she can't see you and it's too late."

The original chorus lyrics were: "Let's dance until I'm gone, I'm here hold on to me, goodbye, I'm leaving." (thanks, Arkady - London, England, for above 2)

Feeling This Lyrics

(Get ready for action!)
I got to regret right now (I'm Feeling This)
The air is so cold and null (I'm feeling this)
Let me go in her room (I'm feeling this)
I love all the things you do (I'm feeling this)
Show me the way to bed (I'm feeling this)
Show me the way you move (I'm feeling this)
Fucking it it's such a blur (I'm feeling this)
I love all the things you do (I'm feeling this)

[Chorus]
Fate fell short this time
Your smile fades in the summer
Place your hand in mine
I'll leave when I wanna

Where do we go from here
Turn all the lights down now
Smiling from ear to ear (I'm feeling this)
Our breathing has got too loud (I'm feeling this)
Show me the bedroom floor (I'm feeling this)
Show me the bathroom mirror (I'm feeling this)
We're taking this way too slow (I'm feeling this)
Take me away from here (I'm feeling this)

[Chorus x2]

This place was never the same again
After you came and went
How can you say you meant anything different
To anyone standing alone
On the street with a cigarette
On the first night we met

Look to the past
And remember her smile
And maybe tonight
I can breathe for awhile
I'm not in the seat
I think I'm fallin' asleep
But then all that it means is
I'll always be dreaming of you

[Chorus: x5]

(Are we alone? Do you feel it?
So lost and disillusioned)

Feeling This

This is a song about sex. Bassist Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge had an idea to go into two separate rooms and write, and an hour later come out with what they had. When they left each room, they discovered that they had both written about sex. Tom had written the verses about the physical aura ("I wanna take off her clothes"), while Mark wrote about the chorus and bridge about the passionate side ("Place your hand in mine"). (thanks, Jon - Cape May, NJ)

I Miss You Lyrics

(I Miss You miss you)

Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you I miss you)
(I miss you I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop the pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

I miss you (miss you miss you)
(I miss you miss you)

I Miss You

This is a rare acoustic song by blink 182. Drummer Travis Barker used Jazz brushes to create the scratching sound throughout the song. He can be seen playing with them in the video. (thanks, Glenn - Sydney, Australia)

Tom DeLonge: "I'm a really big Cure fan, and one day I was listening to their song called 'Love Cats', and I loved the idea of using a stand up bass guitar [actually a double bass. It's a viola and not a member of the guitar family. Same for the normal bass 'guitar'. That's just a double bass turned on its side with frets, and shaped like a guitar] and jazz brushes. So what we ended up doing was writing a song with all acoustic."

Travis Barker: "The part in the first verse about Jack and Sally I directed towards me and [my wife] Shanna." (thanks, Arkady - London, England, for above 2)

The lyrics in the introduction are a reference to the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas - "We can Live like Jack and Sally if we want... and have Halloween on Christmas." (thanks, Jeffrey - Victoria, Canada)

Blink-182 played this song with electric guitars at their live shows in support of the album. (thanks, Bryant - Salina, KS)

Tom DeLonge often plays this at shows with his band Angels & Airwaves. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Here's Your Letter Lyrics

Cut the skin to the bone
Fall asleep all alone
Hear your voice in the dark
Lose myself in your eyes
Choke my voice Say goodnight
As the world falls apart
Fuck I can't let this kill me, let go
I need some more time to fix this

Here's a letter for you
But the words get confused
And the conversation dies
Apologize for the past
Talk some shit take it back
Are we cursed to this life

Fuck I can't let this kill me, let go
I need some more time to fix this problem
I need some more time to fix this problem
I need some more time to fix this

I'm talking to the ceiling
My life just lost all meaning
Do one thing for me tonight
I'm dying in this silence

The last star left in heaven
Is falling down to earth and
Do you still feel the same way
Do you still feel the same way

Fuck I can't let this kill me, let go
I need some more time to fix this problem
I need some more time to fix this problem
I need some more time to fix this

Mark Hoppus: "This song is about people's inability to communicate with one another and how words and explanations only confuse the issues." (thanks, dsadsa - dsa, United States)

Hoppus: "It's a song from which I wrote the verses and Tom the choruses and which are from two different songs. I don't know... It really worked! Lyrics are about a letter you're writing to someone in order to tell him/ her it's over, that there's no way it can work anymore." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Easy Target Lyrics

All her signals are getting lost in the ether, she's a landslide like a city beneath her
So take a good look, so you'll never forget it (That's what she wanted)
Take a deep breath, I know I'm gonna regret it (That's what she wanted)

Holly's looking dry looking for an Easy Target
Let her slit my throat give her ammo if she'll use it
Caution on the road lies lies and hidden danger
Southern California's breeding mommy's little monster

She's got a mission, and I'm collateral damage (That's what she wanted)
She's the flower that you place on my casket (That's what she wanted)
Savor the moment cause the memory's fleeting
Take a photograph, as the last train is leaving

Holly's looking dry looking for an easy target
Let her slit my throat give her ammo if she'll use it
Caution on the road lies lies and hidden danger
Southern California's breeding mommy's little monster

Better run run run run run (Holly let me out)
Better run run run run run (Holly let me out)
Better run run run run run (Holly let me out)
Better run run run run run run run (Holly let me out)

Asthenia Lyrics

Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

Asthenia

Tom DeLonge: "This song is about one thing only, an astronaut sitting in a space capsule about the size of a car, floating above the earth. He's contemplating if even coming back or not will make a difference on such a negative place. A song about the loss of hope. A term was coined for the breakdown of life in space and it is called Asthenia, the name of the track. At the beginning of the song are actual NASA transmissions." (thanks, dsadsa - dsa, United States)

DeLonge: "This song starts with the transmission of our conversation when we land on the moon. It's really weird to hear this song talking to Houston. The whole song theme's about these two guys sitting in their spaceship, not bigger than a car, they're looking through the window and see the space, they can see the earth away. The idea is that they can die up there but that it's maybe worst getting back down on earth. 'Let me die in space.' Asthenia means the loss of all vital conditions." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Mark Hoppus: "One of the coolest sounds on the entire record is Tom's guitar in the intro, when the drums come in. We plugged his guitar into a Leslie Cabinet, and the tube in it was dying, glowing purple. It made a gorgeous, scratchy sound that really compliments the lost in space theme song." (thanks, Bradley - Minneapolis, MN)

Stay Together for the Kids Lyrics

It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all
I'm ripe with things to say
The words rot and fall away
What stupid poem could fix this home
I'd read it every day

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost
It's not right

Their anger hurts my ears
Been running strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems
They never solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them everyday
We get along, so why can't they?
If this is what he wants
And this is what she wants
Then why is there so much pain?

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost
It's not right

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost

It's not right
It's not right

Stay Together for the Kids

Tom DeLonge wrote this about his parents' divorce. He was 16, and his parents had just told him they were going to get a divorce. He left the house to sit in his car and write this song.

Mark Hoppus of blink-182 also had parents that divorced. (thanks, Nataliapalooza - Brampton, Canada, for above 2)

This is one of the songs on the album that indicates the start of a slow maturing process for the boys in blink-182. Here, they began tackling issues with more seriousness than in their previous efforts. They still retained their sense of humor, though, as indicated by the title of the album (say it quickly).

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance,
We've been misled,
Young and hostile,
But not stupid
Corporate leaders, politicians,
Kids can't vote, adults elect them
Mobs that rule the school and workplace,
Signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
Kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with useless warnings,
Teenage rules they're f***ed and boring

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused,
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up

Watching, waiting, commiserating

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na, na, na

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill

All The Small Things

Guitarist Tom DeLonge wrote this for his girlfriend after she complained that he always writes songs about other girls. He was afraid it wouldn't be good so he kept telling her it was terrible. It ended up being a hit and she was very pleased with it. (thanks, Colin - Colbert, WA)

According to DeLonge, the lyrics are true. His girlfriend really did leave him roses by the stairs after a long night in the studio.

The group performed this at both the 1999 and 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. At the 2000 performance, where this won for Best Group Video, a bunch of "little people" joined the band. Many of them danced on stage, and a few swung from wires while pyrotechnics exploded overhead.

Blink-182 bass player Mark Hoppus met Skye Everly, the woman who would become his wife, on the shoot for this video.

This song was used in the Simpsons episode when Bart got a "split" from Homer and moved into the row under Tony Hawk's skate/party room. (thanks, Britt - Tville, Australia)

In 2010, Irish pop duo Jedward recorded their own version of the song on their album Planet Jedward. Their version reached #21 in the Irish singles charts. Hoppus told Spinner UK that he was happy for the former X-Factor finalists to cover the track. Said Hoppus: "I have heard the cover. It's funny 'cause all of a sudden on the online forums and my Twitter people started talking about this band covering 'All the Small Things' - it was everything from 'Finally a good band plays this song' to 'How did you guys ever let a band cover your song?' I think that bands can cover whatever songs - we never gave permission for them but I don't think we needed to, I think any band can cover anyone else's song." (If you're unfamiliar with Jedward, you can see them in action here. And Hoppus is correct, anyone can cover any song as long as they pay the mechanical licensing fee.)

Tom DeLonge admitted to NME in 2014 that he can no longer listen to this song. "It came on the radio the other day," he said, "and I was like, 'I sound like I'm f--king 11.'"

"It's still played everywhere, but I don't know why," DeLonge added. "Blink has some really great songs that I think have legs to stand around for a long period of time. But that's not one of them and it haunts me!"

Adam's Song

According to Liza Bermingham, who was tour manager with the band, Blink-182 bass player Mark Hoppus wrote this when he was in a state of depression about being on tour and away from his family. The end of the song is a message that things will get better. (thanks, AMELIA - Melbourne, Australia)

Guitarist Tom DeLonge: "The story behind that is Mark read a letter someone sent him as an email, that a kid wrote before he committed suicide to his parents. We kind of got together and wrote this sad, slow song. It came out sadder than we ever thought it would, which is good too. Any song that moves you is good. Some people listen to it and go 'Wow, that's a real bum-out of a song.' But it's one of those things, a story of a kid not being happy in his life, crossed with us being really lonely on tour. At the end of it there's a better way out, there are better things to do than kill yourself." (thanks, Kaity - Harrisburg, PA)

The lyrics, "I traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all" were inspired when guitarist Tom Delonge was playing in his garage and he and his amp were in a puddle. Luckily, the amp was not plugged in or he could have been electrocuted. (thanks Joe P. - Chicago, Illinois)

The line "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough" refers to the 1991 Nirvana's song "Come As You Are." There, the line is, "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late."

The Rock Show Lyrics

Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time that I saw her there

She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing
I'm kind of nervous cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and that made it I swear

Because I fell in love with the girl at The Rock Show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait till her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fucking explanation

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait till her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call
She always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance
I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait till her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show [Repeats]

The Rock Show Song Chart

This song is about finding love at a punk rock concert. In their younger days, the band members would go to small Punk concerts and often end up meeting girls.

This became kind of an anthem for the Warped Tour, which blink-182 played on. They mention the Warped Tour in the lyrics. (thanks, mel - Hogtown, FL)

They blew the money to make the video by breaking things and acting strange. Items destroyed include a car and a big-screen TV. They also took homeless people to a day spa and hired strippers to mow someone's lawn.

The album title is a play on masturbation. One of their roadies came up with the name. His name is Larry Palm. In other countries, the joke in the album title doesn't translate.
