[Verse]
Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
Hey!

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well, I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say
What the hey

[Chorus]
Would it last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can
Give that comes my way, yeah (far away)

San Diego!

[Verse]
Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Oh, but then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say
What the hey

[Chorus]
Would it last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can
Give that comes my way, yeah (far away)

Let's go fucking crazy!

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well, I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say
What the hey

[Chorus]
Would I last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can
Give that comes my way, yeah (far away)
Far away

San Diego let me hear you scream!

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.
