[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Dearest mom, I'm always here no matter how far gone
I'm alright without you
Late at night, a million thoughts are caught up in my tree
You're alright without me

[Chorus: Matt Skiba (Mark Hoppus)]
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all
(And it's a long way back to the middle of the road
Finding our way back home)
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
Dear old dad, I'm the one and only son you never had
I'll be fine without you
Late at night, I hear you grab your coat and your car keys
You'll be fine without me

[Chorus: Matt Skiba (Mark Hoppus)]
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all
(And it's a long way back to the middle of the road
Finding our way back home)
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
And we all fall to the surface sometimes
And we all fall back where we belong
And we all fall to the surface sometimes
And we all fall back where we belong

[Chorus: Matt Skiba (Mark Hoppus)]
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all
(And it's a long way back to the middle of the road
Finding our way back home)
It don't mean, it don't mean, it don't mean anything at all

​​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”.
