I woke up in a pool of sweat
First I thought that I pissed the bed
Haunted stories in the midnight hour
The kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower

And I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight but not out of mind

I had a dream that I kissed your lips
And it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck
And I fell for you

I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash in to you, I crash into you
'Cause you crash in my imagination too

Break a leg and you crush my heart
I'm a mess and you're a work of art
Count your blessings going zero to five
Steal a kiss and I took a dive

And I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight but not out of mind

I had a dream that I kissed your lips
And it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck
And I fell for you

I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, I crash into you
'Cause you crash in my imagination

I had a dream that I kissed your lips
And it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck
And I fell for you

And I fell for you
And I fell for you

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.
