Romeo & Rebecca (Buddha version)​​blink-182

Songwriter: Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus Scott Raynor

[Verse 1]
Walking through the grass
Another blade next to you, from the ground
As the wind does pass
Unnoticed as you feel the breath of my shout
Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright
I'm older than you, so I've got time

[Chorus]
What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look, into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time

[Verse 2]
We've all seen the bridge
A broken seam and a girl on one side
You think words will work
They only work when you lay down and close your eyes
I thought of all the lines
All the right ones used at all the wrong times
But that's alright
Depression's just a sarcastic state of mind

[Chorus]
What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look, into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time

[Bridge]
I don't want to live alone
I don't want to live in
My broken dreams of you

[Outro]
I don't want to live alone in
My broken dreams of you
I don't want to live alone with
My broken dreams of you

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
