Wasting Time​​blink-182

Released: February 17, 1995

Songwriter: Mark Hoppus Tom DeLonge

Producer: Otis “O” Barthoulameu

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I'm wasting time thinking about a girl
And stealing her away from her world
She and I would run away
I think of all the things that I'd say
We'd talk about important things
And I picture it in my dreams
She'd teach me about modern art
And I'd show her it's okay to fart and

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Maybe I'd impress her by being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough, she'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart by writing this song about her
Sometimes I sit at home and

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Wonder if she's sitting at home
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
Sitting at home, thinking about her
Or am I just wasting my time?

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Remembering how she laughed at Kinko's
When I made fun of that guy
Remembering the look she gave me
When I told her that I used to fry
I really want to ask her out
But my ego could never take it
And even if I got the balls
You know that the Cougar would never make it
And in my town you can't drive naked

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Maybe I'd impress her by being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough, she'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart by writing this song about her
Sometimes I sit at home and

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Wonder if she's sitting at home
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
Sitting at home, thinking about her
Or am I just wasting my time?

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Am I just wasting my time?
Am I just wasting my time?
Am I just wasting my time?
Wasting my time thinking about a girl
Should we double 'em high or low?

​​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”.
