[Verse 1]
Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream

[Chorus]
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been

[Verse 2]
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry ol' Whatshisface?

[Chorus]
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown]
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
(Remember, whatever)
The regrets are useless in my mind
(It seems like forever ago)
She's in my head, I must confess
(Remember, whatever)
The regrets are useless in my mind
(It seems like forever ago)
She's in my head, so long ago
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go

[Outro]
And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
