Released: May 19, 2017

Songwriter: John Feldmann Travis Barker Matt Skiba Mark Hoppus

Producer: John Feldmann

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Don't wanna hear the static on the TV screen
Don't wanna live a life of cell phone memories
When did you go missing? Where did I go wrong?
Sometimes I just don't know where I belong

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Save yourself, we're always saying
We're not the same, we're two in a million
Oh, these are the good old days, these are the good old days
Go through hell, the battles we've bartered
We stood as one, the young and forgotten
Oh, these are the good old days, these are the good old days

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
You're not the only one who grew up feeling scared
You're not the only broken heart gone unrepaired
Everyone's gone missing, everyone's done wrong
Sometimes we both fly too close to the sun

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Save yourself, we're always saying
We're not the same, we're two in a million
Oh, these are the good old days, these are the good old days
Go through hell, the battles we've bartered
We stood as one, the young and forgotten
Oh, these are the good old days, these are the good old days

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
You're giving up, we're getting out
We were young and we're not growing up, we're not growing up
You're giving up, we're getting out
We were young and we're not growing up, we're not growing up

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Save yourself, we're always saying
We're not the same, we're two in a million
Oh, these are the good old days, these are the good old days
Go through hell, the battles we've bartered
We stood as one, the young and forgotten
Oh, these are the good old days, these are the good old days
These are the good old days, these are the good old days
These are the good old days, these are the good old days

​​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”.
