Pathetic​​blink-182

Released: June 17, 1997

Songwriter: Scott Raynor Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Mark Trombino

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]
I know I'm pathetic, I knew when she said it
A loser, a bum's what she called me when I drove her home
There's no more waiting and sure no more wasting
I've done all I can but she still wants to be left alone

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]
You got, you got, you got to help me out
And I'll try not to argue
No one, no one, no one likes a dropout
Mistakes are hard to undo

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, (Both)]
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I'm wrong
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different
(This is where I belong)

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]
I think it's disgusting, believing and trusting
If I gave a fuck there would be nothing for me to prove
Although it's amusing, it's slightly confusing
I've done all I can but her ego is still hard to move

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus + Tom DeLonge]
You got, you got, you got to help me out
And I'll try not to argue
No one, no one, no one likes a dropout
Mistakes are hard to undo

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, (Both)]
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I'm wrong
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different
(But this is where I belong)

[Outro: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, (Both)]
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different
(This is where I belong)

​​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”.
