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

Turn your back and run, now

You haven't got a chance, now

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

[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?

[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?

[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?)

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

[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

[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

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
