[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I'll never let you down, boy, I'll never let you go
Her subtle hint of life is so innocent and scary
"So, tell me that you're here, boy," she says as if she knows
When God took her with time, God made me quite alone
It's like the universe has left me without a place to go
Without a hint of light to watch the movement glow
When our song was slowly starting, your memory felt so real
At first, against my will, but God invented chills

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Yeah I, I saw your ghost tonight, the moment felt so real
If your eyes stay right on mine, my wounds would start to heal

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
The kids are in a hurry, and I'm just full of fear
The lights make bodies blurry, it's getting hard enough to hear
It's like the evidence is cared for and evidently clear
If I never leave this dance floor, then I'll never leave you here

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Yeah I, I saw your ghost tonight, the moment felt so real
If your eyes stay right on mine, my wounds would start to heal
I felt your ghost tonight, and God it felt like hell
To know you're almost mine, but dreams are all I feel...

[Drum Solo]

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Yeah I, I saw your ghost tonight, it fucking hurt like hell
I felt you here tonight, but dreams can't all be real
I saw your ghost tonight, it fucking hurt like hell
I felt you here tonight, but dreams can't all be real...

​​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”.
