I lost my way, oh baby, this stray heart
Went to another, can you recover, baby?
Oh you're the only one that i'm dreamin' of
Your precious heart
Was torn apart by me
And you? You're not alone
Oh, now im where i belong
We're not alone, oh i'll hold your heart and never let go!

Everything that i want
I want it from you
But i just can't have you
Everything that i need
I need from you
But i just can't have you

Oh i said it a thousand times
And now a thousand and one
We'll never part
I'll never stray from you again
The dark is destined for a home in your heart
We'll never part
I'll never stray from you again
You're not alone
Oh, now im where i belong
We're not alone, oh i'll hold your heart and never let go!

Everything that i want
I want it from you
But i just can't have you
Everything that i need
I need from you
But i just can't have you

Everything that i want
I want it from you
But i just can't have you
Everything that i need
I need from you
But i just can't have 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.
