[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
I don't believe that we were ever meant to be
Left underneath the light of dying stars (Dying stars)
Push me off of the edge of the world (Fall apart)
Watch me as I slowly fall apart
Set fire to the roof of your house
And waited for the sirens to wail (Sirens wail)
Left your favorite records to melt (Left to melt)
Listen as you damned me to hell

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Angel wings at the bus stop
Halos left on top of the bar
Heaven doesn't want me now
Heaven doesn't want me
Angel wings at the bus stop
Halos left on top of the bar
Heaven doesn't want me now
Heaven doesn't want me

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
Well, what did I think would happen?
I wouldn't dream of asking
You waited here for me so long
I lived in fear that you moved on
What have I done to us? It seems
I've broken trust and shattered dreams
I only wish I'd spoken of
The loneliness since we broke up

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Angel wings at the bus stop
Halos left on top of the bar
Heaven doesn't want me now
Heaven doesn't want me
Angel wings at the bus stop
Halos left on top of the bar
Heaven doesn't want me now
Heaven doesn't want me
(Heaven doesn't want me)
(Heaven doesn't want me)

[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
Say a prayer that you'll make it to the other side
It won't make no sense and you lose your mind
We're lost in our ways (We're lost in our ways)
Nothing left to say, no (Nothing left to say)
Make a wish that you'll get a chance to say goodbye
Before the shots ring out in the dead of night
We're stuck in our ways (We're stuck in our ways)
I've got so much to say, oh (I've got so much to say)
Showed up like shadows in this crowd
Brought the fire blinding
Came here to quickly tear us down, down, down

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Angel wings at the bus stop (Whoa)
Halos left on top of the bar
Heaven doesn't want me now
Heaven doesn't want me (Whoa)
Angel wings at the bus stop
Halos left on top of the bar
Heaven doesn't want me now
Heaven doesn't want me

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”.
