[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Let's take the boat out on the bay
Forget your job for just one day
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
It might be inappropriate, because
Either way, our band gets dropped, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
The three-date theory's getting old
Everyone is getting left out in the cold
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
So I'll see you with another guy who pretends
Not to hear you when you cry, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
I'll be moving on, moving on
Moving on and on and on
Moving on, moving on
Moving on and on and on

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

​​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”.
