Dumpweed Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
It's understood, I said it many ways
Too scared to run, I'm too scared to stay
I said I'd leave, I could never leave her
If I did, you know I'd never cheat her
But this, I ask, it's what I want to know
How would you feel if I should choose to go?
Another guy, you think he'd be unlike me?
Another guy, you think he'd wanna fight me?
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's a dove, she's a fuckin' nightmare
Unpredictable, it's my mistake to stay here
On the go, and it's way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
I heard it once, I'm sure I've heard it twice
My dad used to give me all of his advice
He would say, "You've got to turn your back and run, now"
"Come on, son, you haven't got a chance now"
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's a dove, she's a fuckin' nightmare
Unpredictable, it's my mistake to stay here
On the go, and it's way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train
She's a dove, she's a fuckin' nightmare
Unpredictable, it's my mistake to stay here
On the go, and it's way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train
[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
Need a girl that I can train
Need a girl that I can train
Turn your back and run, now
You haven't got a chance, now
Need a girl that I can train
Need a girl that I can train
Turn your back and run, now
You haven't got a chance, now
Don’t Leave Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
I'll be fine, it's not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse, and
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about, and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
One more chance, I'll try this time
I'll give you yours, I won't take mine
I'll listen up, pretend to care
Go on ahead, I'll meet you there, and
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about, and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Let's try this one more time, with feeling
One more time, with feeling
One more time, with feeling
One more time, with feeling
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about, and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
And I'll be fine
Aliens Exist Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Hey Mom, there's something in the backroom
Hope it's not the creatures from above
You used to read me stories, as if my dreams were boring
We all know conspiracies are dumb
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
What if people knew that these were real?
I'd leave my closet door open all night
I know the CIA would say, "What you hear is all hearsay"
Wish someone would tell me what was right
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you
[Verse 3: Tom DeLonge]
I am still a skeptic, yes, you know me
Been best friends and will be 'til we die
I got an injection of fear from the abduction
My best friend thinks I'm just telling lies, alright
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Dark and scary, ordinary
Explanation, information
Nice to know ya, paranoia
Where's my mother? Bio-father?
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
Twelve majestic lies
Going Away to College Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Please take me by the hand, it's so cold out tonight, I'll
Put blankets on the bed, I won't turn out the light, just
Don't forget to think about me, and I
Won't forget you, "I'll write you once a week," she said
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Why does it feel the same to fall in love or break it off?
And if young love is just a game, then I must've missed the kickoff
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on
Anything, but I'd go through Hell for you, and
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge]
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me
[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
I'll think about the times she kissed me after class, and
She put up with my friends, I acted like an ass, I'd
Ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge]
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge]
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful
What’s My Age Again? Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feelin' right
We started makin' out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus with Tom DeLonge]
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a payphone
I said I was the cops and your husband's in jail
This state looks down on sodomy
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus with Tom DeLonge]
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus with Tom DeLonge]
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
(What's my age again?)
(What's my age again?)
That's about the time that she broke up with me
(Please stay with me)
No one should take themselves so seriously
(Please stay with me)
With many years ahead to fall in line
(Please stay with me)
Why would you wish that on me?
(Please stay) I never wanna act my age
(With) What's my age again?
(Me) What's my age again?
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
What's my age again?
Dysentery Gary Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Got a lotta heartache, he's a fuckin' weasel
His issues make my mind ache, wanna make a deal
'Cause I love your little motions you do with your pigtails
What a nice creation, worth another night in jail
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
He's a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out, friends were listening to Slayer
I would like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with Mom and trying on his father's tights
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Life just sucks, I lost the one
I'm giving up, she found someone
There's plenty more, girls are such a drag
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
So all you little ladies, be sure to choose the right guys
You'll come back to me maybe, I'll shower you with lies
Got a lotta heartache, he's a fucking weasel
Decisions make my mind ache, wanna make a deal
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Ease away the problems and the pain
The girl will choose the guy that makes you wanna kick and scream
All along, you wish that she would stay
Fuck the guy that took her and ran away, and
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
He's a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out, friends were listening to Slayer
I would like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with Mom and trying on his father's tights
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Life just sucks, I lost the one
I'm giving up, she found someone
There's plenty more, girls are such a drag
[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
Fuck this place, I lost the war
I hate you all, your mom's a whore
Where's my dog? 'Cause girls are such a drag
Adam’s Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
No wonder, it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
[Chorus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
[Verse 2]
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months, I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell Mom this is not her fault
[Chorus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
And I can't wait 'til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
All the Small Things Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
All the small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride, best trip
Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting
Commiserating
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Just say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill
[Outro: Tom DeLonge, Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Say it ain't so, I will not go
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Turn the lights off, carry me home
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
The night will go on, the night will go on, my little windmill
The Party Song Lyrics
[Intro: Mark Hoppus]
Here you go, motherfuckers!
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Do you wanna come to a party?
My friends picked me up in a truck at 11:30
This thing's at a frat house, but people are cool there
Reluctant, I followed, but I never dreamed there
Would be someone there who would catch my attention
I wasn't out searching for love or affection
So I payed my three in and the girls got in free
Shined the beer for tequila and we headed into the party
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
And then, in the backyard, some terrible ska band
Someone in the background was doing a keg stand
This place is so lame, all these girls look the same
All these guys have no game, I wished I would've stayed
In my bed back at home, watching TV alone
Where I'd put on some porn, or have sex on the phone
Far from people I hate down from anywhere State
Trying to intoxicate girls to give them head after the party
[Pre-Chorus 1: Mark Hoppus]
And then I saw her standing there
With green eyes and long blonde hair
She wasn't wearing underwear
At least I prayed that
She might be the one
Maybe we'd have some fun
Maybe we'd watch the sun rise
But that night, I learned some girls try too hard
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
And some girls try too hard to impress
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
With the way that they dress
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
With those things on their chests
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
And the things they suggest to me
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
I couldn't believe what this lady was saying
The names she was dropping, the games she was playing
She dated this guy who now rides for Black Flys
How she's down with the wise well-constructed disguise
Now I'd rather go dateless than stay here and hate this
Her volume of makeup, her fake tits were tasteless
So I said I'd call her, but never would bother
Until I got turned down by another girl at a party
[Pre-Chorus 2: Mark Hoppus]
So when you see her standing there
With green eyes and long blonde hair
She won't be wearing underwear
And you'll discover
This girl's not the one
And she'll never be fun
You should just turn and run
Because you'll find out that some girls try too hard
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
And some girls try too hard to impress
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
With the way that they dress
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
With those things on their chests
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
And the things they suggest to me
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
[Outro: Mark Hoppus & Tom DeLonge]
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
Some girls try too hard
(Duh-na-na, duh-na-na, duh-na-na)
Some girls try too hard
Mutt Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
He pauses shaving, and he tells himself that he is the bomb
She has her curlers set, her credit cards are paying the funds
[Pre-Chorus 1: Tom DeLonge]
He's not that old, I've been told, a strong sexual goal
They go out every day, she goes every way
Oh yeah, they don't even care at all
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's open, waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way too unhealthy, often, they've typically
Been starved for attention before
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
She smokes a dozen and he doesn't seem to notice the smell
He took the seat off his own bike because the way that it felt
[Pre-Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge]
He wants to bone, this I know, she is ready to blow
They go out every night, his pants are super tight
Oh yeah, they don't even care at all
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's open, waiting for more (She's open, waiting for more)
And I know he's only looking to score (He's only looking to score)
And it is way too unhealthy, often, they've typically
Been starved for attention before
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
She's open, waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way too unhealthy, often, they've typically
Been starved for attention before
Wendy Clear Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Let's take the boat out on the bay
Forget your job for just one day
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
It might be inappropriate, because
Either way, our band gets dropped, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret? Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
The three-date theory's getting old
Everyone is getting left out in the cold
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
So I'll see you with another guy who pretends
Not to hear you when you cry, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret? Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
I'll be moving on, moving on
Moving on and on and on
Moving on, moving on
Moving on and on and on
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret? Or do I want what I can't get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
Anthem Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Home show, Mom won't know
Run out the back door, he's passed out on the floor
Third time, been caught twice
Forgive our neighbor Bob, I think he humped the dog
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
But good things come to those who wait, 'cause she laid me
And Mom and Dad possess the key, instant slavery
No need explain the plan, no need to even bother
I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run, wish my friends were twenty-one
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
White lies, bloodshot eyes
Breath of alcohol, stole it from the mall
How's Chris marked with lipstick?
Better call their fathers, sleeping with your daughters
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
But good things come to those who wait, 'cause she laid me
And Mom and Dad possess the key, instant slavery
No need explain the plan, no need to even bother
I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run, wish my friends were twenty-one
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall, too bad you're wrong
Don't need a Mom-Dad slave drive song
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Turn low, the radio
I think I hear my dad yelling at the band
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
But good things come to those who wait, 'cause she laid me
And Mom and Dad possess the key, instant slavery
No need explain the plan, no need to even bother
I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run, wish my friends were twenty-one
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall, too bad you're wrong
Don't need a mom-dad slave drive song
[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb
I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb, I time bomb
