[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
Late at night on mercy street, the summer air is way too sweet
The way I feel inside is worse than poison
Washed up standing on a beach, something inside is incomplete
I numb the pain for one more night of mourning

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
This is the one last time
I promise one last time

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
I'll take the last train home (The last train home)
I'll take the last train home (The last train home)
I'll take the last train home (I'll take the last train home)

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for
(The last train home)
The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for
(The last train home)

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
The tidal wave and aftermath, I'm seasick from the years we've
Passed, adrift at sea with no one left to rescue
Tonic and a fifth of gin, she said goodbye and left again
These empty rooms are deafening without you

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
This is one last time
I promise one last time

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
I'll take the last train home (The last train home)
I'll take the last train home (The last train home)
I'll take the last train home (I'll take the last train home)

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for
(The last train home)
The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for
(The last train home)

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Life's so strange, time won't change
The world slips by unafraid, and she never gave much anyway
Life's so strange

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
I'll take the last train home (The last train home)
I'll take the last train home (The last train home)
I'll take the last train home (I'll take the last train home)

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for
(The last train home)
The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for
(The last train home)

​​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”.
