San Diego​​blink-182

Released: July 1, 2016

Songwriter: Patrick Stump John Feldmann Matt Skiba Travis Barker Mark Hoppus

Producer: John Feldmann

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Sometimes I wonder where our lives go
And question who we used to be
Sometimes I feel like I'm the oxygen between
The cigarette and gasoline

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I can't sleep cause what if I dream

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one way ticket so we could go see the Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
To San Diego
Can't go back to San Diego, can't go back to San Diego

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]
Abandoned houses with the lights on (whoa)
Late at night I call your name (whoa)
Abandoned love songs smashed across the hardwood floors
I read the sadness on your face

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I can't sleep cause what if I dream

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one way ticket so we could go see the Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
To San Diego
Can't go back to San Diego, can't go back to San Diego

[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
I never needed to hear all of the pain and the fear
Your secrets filled up my ears like the ocean blue
I never wanted to know how deep these cuts on you go
And like a river, they flow to the ocean blue
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh...

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Going back to San Diego
We bought a one way ticket, so we could go see the Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
San Diego, to San Diego
Can't go back to San Diego, San Diego, can't go back to San Diego

​​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”.
