Roller Coaster​​blink-182

Released: June 12, 2001

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Leave me standing here, act like I'm not around
The coast will probably never clear, can I please go home now?
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in, and there I stayed...

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Lay beside me and listen at the wall
We'll keep on lying until the summer comes
I had that dream about you again
Where you drive my car right off a fucking cliff

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time, goodnight

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Make me promise that I will never tell
All I remember is the way her bedroom smelled
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time, goodnight, goodnight...

​​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”.
