Songwriter: Matt Skiba Mark Hoppus John Feldmann Travis Barker

Producer: John Feldmann

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Where the hell did you come from?
Outer space or heaven above
Short of breath, my long-lost love
I can't believe my eyes, Are you for real?
My life before was such a mess
There's no use dwelling on the past
My broken heart was in a cast
Then you showed up and it began to heal

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Cause you're the only thing that matters
Cause you're the only thing that's real
Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go
Cause you're the only thing I feel

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
Someday
You'll come back to me
And I'll say
Something bitterly
And you'll go racing toward the kitchen
Grab a knife, erase my vision
Take my flatscreen television
And my paintings by Marilyn Manson

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Cause you're the only thing that matters
Cause you're the only thing that's real
Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go
Cause you're the only thing I feel

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Cause you're the only thing that matters (Woah-oh)
Cause you're the only thing that's real (Woah-oh)
Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go
Cause you're the only thing I feel

​​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”.
