[Intro: Mark Hoppus]
Josie, you're my source of most frustration
Forget when I don't meet expectations
Everything you wished came true, in the end, we all blamed you
Even though, as they all know, you weren't the only one, two
Three, four...

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Why do you still keep it around
When you know it brings me down? I'm hating everything
And I know that you dated other guys
But I got to wonder why you'd leave it out for me (Shit!)

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Why am I still hanging around
When I know it brings me down? I'm hating everything
And you are getting rides home in his car
You're making out in his front yard, I'm hating everything

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright, it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night, I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
And if we can have another day
I've got so much left to say, I'd tell you everything
And I'll laugh when I think about the past
When I see you after class, you're hating everything

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright, it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night, I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright, it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night, I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
And she said
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na...
"I just forgot you were there..."
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na...
"I just forgot you were there..."
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na...
"I just forgot you were there..."
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na...

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright, it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night, I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright, it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night, I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
And she said na na na na na...

​​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”.
