[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Made a wish on a mountain top
But an avalanche came and washed away
Wrote a song on an old guitar
But the words were wrong, they made you walk away

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Said I could have anything I want, forever more
Said I could be anyone I want, but I was bored

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Every day turns into sleepless nights
My head is spinning with the sadness of a long lost feeling
Golden years where I would smash the mirrors
My head is spinning with the sadness of a long lost feeling

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
Found a wreck on the ocean floor
Like a tidal wave, you washed it all away
Heard a song on the radio
All the words were right, they made me want to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I could have anything I want, forever more
Said I could be anyone I want, but I was bored

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Every day turns into sleepless nights
My head is spinning with the sadness of a long lost feeling
Golden years where I would smash the mirrors
My head is spinning with the sadness of a long lost feeling

[Outro: Matt Skiba]
Say goodbye, until it hurts, stormy skies and fireworks
Say goodbye, until it hurts, stormy skies and fireworks
Say goodbye, until it hurts, stormy skies and fireworks...

​​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”.
