Released: September 2, 2000

Songwriter: Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Intro: Tom DeLonge (Mark Hoppus)]
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
'Cause in the end it's fucking useless

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
I remember shots without a chaser
Absentminded thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars, put on your game face
Left you in the bar to try and save face

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long

[Bridge: Tom DeLonge (Mark Hoppus)]
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Man on a mission, can't say I miss him around
Insider information, hand in your resignation
Loss of a good friend, best of intentions I found
Tight-lipped procrastination, yeah later, see you around

​​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”.
