[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, my girlfriend takes me home when I'm too drunk to drive
And she doesn't get all jealous when I hang out with the guys
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, just because

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
And my girlfriend likes UL and DHC
And she's so smart and independent, I don't think she needs me
Quite half as much as I know I need her
I wonder why there's not another guy that she'd prefer

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation
And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, and

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road
And it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation
And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, and

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge + Mark Hoppus]
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
