Released: June 12, 2001

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I guess it's only the men who get fucked now and again
We take our chicks to the mall, we wait in parking stalls, and
When we come home too late, she's pissed that she had to wait
And my excuse not to call, it never worked at all

[Chorus]
Time to wake up, where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up, she was stronger
All my friends say, "Please don't love her"
What did I gain? Now I miss her so

[Verse 2]
I used to hate the lipstick, it stained and tasted so sick
The pantyhose and the bras, she threw on my guitars
Shit, fuck! I made a mistake, I thought I needed a break
The truth is I'm such a dick, it's broke and can't be fixed

[Chorus]
Time to wake up, where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up, she was stronger
All my friends say, "Please don't love her"
What did I gain? Now I miss her so

[Bridge]
If you want to call it a heartache
Then I shouldn't regret those things, I miss her
If you want the pain to go away
Better suck up your pride and admit you lost her
Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go

[Chorus]
Time to wake up, where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up, she was stronger
All my friends say, "Please don't love her"
What did I gain? Now I miss her so

[Outro]
Move on, let her go, move on
Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go

​​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”.
