[Verse 1: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Day in, day out, up at 3AM with the
Searchlights shining down
Day in, day out, it's the blinding light
Underneath the dirt downtown
Whoa, listen to the sound as they
Bomb the Sixth Street bridge
Whoa, listen to the sound of the
Voices south of Fifth

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Hey, Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I'm never coming home, I'm never coming

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Come down (Come down), I've been awake for days
Knocked out (Knocked out), by the sound of falling rain
Come down, yeah, we'll watch the sun just burn away the sky
We'll watch the city lights die out up on Mulholland Drive

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Wake me when this war is over
Meet me where the skyline ends
Wake me when this war is over
Meet me where the skyline ends
Wake me when this war is over
Meet me where the skyline ends

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I'm never coming home
I'm never coming home
I'm never coming home
I'm never coming 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”.
