[Verse 1]
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 dreaming of
Your precious heart was torn apart by me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not alone, oh, and now I'm where I belong
We're not alone, oh, I'll hold your heart and never let go

[Chorus]
Everything that I want, I want from you, but I just can't have you
Everything that I need, I need from you, but I just can't have you

[Verse 2]
I said a thousand times and now a thousand one
We'll never part, I'll never stray again from you
This dog is destined for a home to your heart
We'll never part, I'll never stray again from you

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not alone, oh, and now I'm where I belong
We're not alone, oh, I'll hold your heart and never let go

[Chorus]
Everything that I want, I want from you, but I just can't have you
Everything that I need, I need from you, but I just can't have you

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not alone, oh, and now I'm where I belong
We're not alone, oh, I'll hold your heart and never let go

[Chorus]
Everything that I want, I want 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 from you, but I just can't have you
Everything that I need, I need from you, but I just...
Just can't have you

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.
