[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
She's a girl dressed in black from another world
Lives and breathes like a girl from another world
She don't know my name
She don't have the time of day
Celebrate, medicate 'til we numb the pain
In the sun, it's still dark, like it always rains
She don't feel the same
She don't have the time of day

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
So I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait for her
I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait for her

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I don't care what you say, no
I don't care what you do
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I don't care what you say, no
And I don't care what you do
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I'm goin' to the darkside with Mark

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
She's a girl, I look back to what could have been
Her cloak and dagger, mouth tastes like medicine
She won't last the night (She won't last the night)
Spun out in the neon light
You would leave, but you need me to numb the pain
You're possessed and you slept through another day
You don't feel the same
And I don't have the strength to stay

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
So I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait for her
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait
And I wait for her

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I don't care what you say, no
I don't care what you do
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I don't care what you say, no
And I don't care what you do
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I'm goin' to the movies with you

[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
(Oh) I'm goin' to the darkside with you
(Oh) I'm goin' to the darkside with you
And I don't care what you say, no
And I don't care what you do
I'm goin' to the darkside feeling
I'm goin' to the darkside

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
And I don't care what you say, no
And I don't care what you do
I'm goin' to the darkside with you
I'm goin' to the darkside with you

[Outro: Matt Skiba]
(Oh) I'm goin' to the darkside with you
(Oh) I'm goin' to the darkside with you

​​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”.
