Every Time I Look for You​​blink-182

Released: June 12, 2001

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Intro: Mark Hoppus (Tom DeLonge)]
Never found out why you left him, but this answer begs a question
Too blind to see tomorrow, too broke to beg or borrow
Young and stupid (left wide open)
Hearts are wasted (lives are broken)

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus (Tom DeLonge)]
One more point of contention, I need some intervention
Approached with vague intentions, betray my short attention
Span the distance (bridge the border)
Beg forgiveness ('round the corner)

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Every time I look for you, the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you, the sun goes down once more

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Will the last one out, please shut the door

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus (Tom DeLonge)]
More time apart will give you a few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through, it always seems too far to drive
The point home (send more letters)
Pray tomorrow (ends up better)

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Every time I look for you, the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you, the sun goes down once more

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Will the last one out, please shut the door

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
I never did do anything that she asked
I never let what happened stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant
In spite of everything, in spite of everything

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Every time I look for you, the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you, the sun goes down

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you, the sun goes down...

​​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”.
