[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro: Mark Hoppus]
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
This air is too thick to breathe, so just drive
(Just drive, just drive)
These eyes are too sick to see, don't leave me behind
(Behind, behind)
Something's swimming in my blood
Something's rotting in my brain
I'm smothered from the flood
I can't recognize your face

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I need to leave so just drive

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Burning lights on the street, fight, fighting the gravity
(Fight, fighting the gravity)
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me
(They'll take you away from me)
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last of me
(Yes, this is the last of me, yes, this is the last of me)
I'm always fighting the gravity

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Tonight is too much for me to get through
(Get through)
Tomorrow's just a darkened hall to an empty room
When I'm far away from you

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Burning lights on the street, fight, fighting the gravity
(Fight, fighting the gravity)
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me
(They'll take you away from me)
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last of me
(Yes, this is the last of me, yes, this is the last of me)
I'm always fighting the gravity, I'm always fighting the gravity

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)
This makes no sense, this makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no (no, no, no, no)

​​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”.
