Cynical Lyrics

[Intro: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]

There's a cynical feeling saying I should give up

You said everything you'll ever say

There's a moment of panic when I hear the phone ring

Anxiety's calling in my head

Is it back again?

Are you back again?

[Drum Solo]

[Spoken: Travis Barker]

Ah!

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]

Don't wake me up before you leave

Is there the slightest trace of what you once believed? Woahh

I feel your hand unlock the door

Leaving fingerprints of water in the oil, woahh

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]

What's the point of saying sorry now?

Lost my voice while fighting my way out

While fighting my way out

What's the point of saying sorry now?

Not sorry, not sorry, not sorry, I'm not sorry

Lost my voice while fighting my way out

Not sorry, not sorry, not sorry, I'm not sorry now...

Bored to Death Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

There's an echo pulling out the meaning

Rescuing a nightmare from a dream

The voices in my head are always screaming

That none of this means anything to me

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

And it's a long way back from seventeen

The whispers turn into a scream

And I...

I'm not coming home

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Save your breath, I'm nearly bored to death, and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

Back on earth I'm broken, lost and cold, and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

There's a stranger staring at the ceiling

Rescuing a tiger from a tree

The pictures in her head are always dreaming

Each of them means everything to me

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

And it's a long way back from seventeen

The whispers turn into a scream

And I...

I'm not coming home

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Save your breath, I'm nearly bored to death, and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

Back on earth I'm broken, lost and cold, and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down

I said, "I'm sorry I'm a bit of a let down"

But all my friends are daring me to come over

So I come over and over and over

So let me buy you a drink, and we'll pretend that you think

That I'm the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar

And we'll go over and over and over

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Save your breath, I'm nearly bored to death, and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

Back on earth I'm broken, lost and cold, and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

[Outro: Matt Skiba (Mark Hoppus)]

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh (life is too short to last long)

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh...

She’s Out of Her Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

I said, "Settle down, settle down, everything is fine

Take your eyes off the floor"

She said, "No, I'm not, no, I'm not, no, I'm not alright

I lost my head on the door"

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

She's a-a-a-antisocial, a-a-a-antisocial

A-a-and she's an angel, yeah

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind

She said "Babe, I'm sorry, but I'm crazy tonight"

She got a black shirt, black skirt, and Bauhaus stuck in her head

I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

We all need something to live for, oh yeah

We all need something to live for

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

She said, I let her down, let her down, I no longer dream

Of anything anymore

Said I'm a know-it-all, know-it-all, "You make me want to scream"

And threw herself on the floor

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

She's a-a-a-antisocial, a-a-a-antisocial

A-a-a she's an angel, yeah

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind

She said "Babe, I'm sorry, but I'm crazy tonight"

She got a black shirt, black skirt, and Bauhaus stuck in her head

I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]

She's not complicated, can't be overstated at all

She's not complicated-ated-ated at all

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind

(She's out of her mind)

She said "Babe, I'm sorry but I'm crazy tonight"

She got a black shirt, black skirt, and Bauhaus stuck in her head

I'm in deep with this girl, but she's out of her mind, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

We all need something to live for, oh yeah

We all need something to live for

Los Angeles Lyrics

[Verse 1: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Day in, day out, up at 3AM with the

Searchlights shining down

Day in, day out, it's the blinding light

Underneath the dirt downtown

Whoa, listen to the sound as they

Bomb the Sixth Street bridge

Whoa, listen to the sound of the

Voices south of Fifth

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Hey, Los Angeles, when will you save me?

Los Angeles, when will you save me?

Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

I'm never coming home, I'm never coming

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Come down (Come down), I've been awake for days

Knocked out (Knocked out), by the sound of falling rain

Come down, yeah, we'll watch the sun just burn away the sky

We'll watch the city lights die out up on Mulholland Drive

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]

Los Angeles, when will you save me?

Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]

Wake me when this war is over

Meet me where the skyline ends

Wake me when this war is over

Meet me where the skyline ends

Wake me when this war is over

Meet me where the skyline ends

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]

Los Angeles, when will you save me?

Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

I'm never coming home

Sober Lyrics

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I know I messed up and it might be over

But let me call you when I'm sober

I'm a dandelion, you're a four-leaf clover

But let me call you when I'm sober

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Na na na na na na na nanananana na na na

[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]

I woke up in the pouring rain

West side Humboldt, seven AM

Sleeping by a dumpster to keep me dry

With the radio on and a new black eye

Because I bet you, you couldn't knock me out

And I guess you, you really got me now

Black sedan ran a red light

Just a drunken bike messenger on Tuesday night

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I know I messed up and it might be over

But let me call you when I'm sober

I'm a dandelion, you're a four-leaf clover

But let me call you when I'm sober

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Na na na na na na na nanananana na na na, when I'm sober

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

She undressed and we stumbled downstairs

Fell onto the table as the neighbors just stared

We laughed out loud and smashed their lights

Digging with our hands in the dirt outside

And she dragged me to the edge of town

And she slapped me, then she pulled me down

I can do bad and you can do better

Spending all night getting lost together

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I know I messed up and it might be over

But let me call you when I'm sober

I'm a dandelion you're a four-leaf clover

But let me call you when I'm sober

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]

Sober...

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I know I messed up and it might be over

But let me call you when I'm sober

I'm a dandelion you're a four-leaf clover

But let me call you when I'm sober

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Na na na na na na na nanananana na na na, when I'm sober

Na na na na na na na nanananana na na na, when I'm sober...

Built This Pool Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

Whoo ooh, whoo ooh!

I wanna see some naked dudes, that's why I built this pool

[Spoken: Travis Barker]

Is that really it?

No Future Lyrics

[We were] talking about the idea of how people absorb music these… Read More [Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

She said, "Tonight's a waste of time

The next day, the sun will always rise"

Every day that you waste, every promise you break

Slips beneath the floor

It's a permanent state from a moment's mistake

But life's worth so much more

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]

You don't know a thing about it, hours lost to dawn from dusk

And they don't care about you (No future!)

Let the music seal your fate, yeah, you can run, but life won't wait

Yeah, they don't care about you (No future!)

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

She said that, "It's too late to try

Someday I'll smile and say goodbye"

Every night that you fight, every demon in sight

Sleeping on the floor

Wide awake from the dream with a shake and a scream

Hope for so much more

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]

You don't know a thing about it, hours lost to dawn from dusk

And they don't care about you (No future!)

Let the music seal your fate, yeah, you can run, but life won't wait

Yeah, they don't care about you (No future!)

[Post Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Na, na na, na na, na na na

They don't care about you

Na, na na, na na, na na na

They don't care about you

[Bridge: Matt Skiba]

Where did she go?

And what did she hope to find there?

Where did she go? (Where did she go, did she go?)

And what did she hope to find there?

Where did she go, did she go, did she go?

Where did she go to find it?

Where did she go, did she go, did she go?

Where did she go to find it?

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]

You don't know a thing about it, hours lost to dawn from dusk

And they don't care about you (No future!)

Let the music seal your fate, yeah, you can run, but life won't wait

Yeah, they don't care about you (No future!)

[Outro: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Na, na na, na na, na na na

They don't care (They don't care) about you

Na, na na, na na, na na na

They don't care (They don't care) about you...

Home Is Such a Lonely Place Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

We're falling faster than we can fly

Forgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive

And I hold on tight

But not enough to hold you back

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

It feels like the moon is spinning off into outer space without you

This room is such a lonely place without you

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

I wish that we could save today

But I know we can't stay the same

And I keep pushing you away

Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Home is such a lonely place without you

Home is such a lonely place

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]

I love the lightning, but hate the rain

Tomorrow's frightening, but not today

Wish I could slow down time

But not enough to slow you down

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I feel like the moon is spinning off into outer space without you

The universe an empty place without you

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

I wish that we could save today

But I know we can't stay the same

And I keep pushing you away

Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Home is such a lonely place without you

Home is such a lonely place

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]

We're falling faster than we can fly

Forgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

I wish that we could save today

But I know we can't stay the same

And I keep pushing you away

Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

I wish that we could save today

But I know we can't stay the same

And I keep pushing you away

Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Home is such a lonely place without you

Home is such a lonely place

Kings of the Weekend Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]

Can you read my thoughts? I'm not sure what I said

I feel dumb, and long night coming

Did you steal my prayers? I don't know where I was

I feel numb, and all or nothing (all or nothing)

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

It's Friday night, let's lose our minds in a downward spiral

Here we go, because we got no control (no control)

Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we

Ever had, thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Until Monday morning strikes again

We are the kings of the weekend

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

I can feel my head falling off my neck

I need something to keep going

So just take my hand, only seconds left

The clock's running, our time's coming

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

It's Friday night, let's lose our minds in a downward spiral

Here we go, because we got no control (no control)

Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we

Ever had, thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Until Monday morning strikes again

We are the kings of the weekend

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

It's Friday night, let's lose our minds in a downward spiral

Here we go, because we got no control (no control)

Friday nights always save my life from the worst of times we

Ever had, thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Until Monday morning strikes again

We are the kings of the weekend

Teenage Satellites Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

I can almost see your house from here, but the signal seems to

Disappear, so what's the problem? Houston's calling

Then you hit me like a Friday night, like a handgun in a firefight

Dive in slow motion towards the ocean

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]

Let's run away, let's go and waste another year

Let's spin apart while racing through the atmosphere

We tumble through the night

We burn so bright, we're teenage satellites

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

I'm kind of nervous of the consequence, as we climb over the

Neighbor's fence, the longest summer's nights are numbered

Then you kissed me like a storm at sea, like I'm the only one you'll

Ever need, we're left abandoned in the deep end

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]

Let's run away, let's go and waste another year

Let's spin apart while racing through the atmosphere

We tumble through the night

We burn so bright, we're teenage satellites

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

(We're teenage satellites)

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]

We are a slow descent, forgotten astronauts

We are an avalanche, we're just an afterthought

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]

Let's run away, let's go and waste another year

Let's spin apart while racing through the atmosphere

We tumble through the night

We burn so bright, we're teenage satellites

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh, we're teenage satellites

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh, teenage satellites

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh, teenage satellites...

Left Alone Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]

Eyes are open, words are spoken

Here's to the sunrise

Head is loaded, cards are folded

Under the moonlight

Can you remember, you remember the last time

We woke up sober?

Can you remember, you remember the last night

You ran me over?

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Are we halfway gone or halfway there?

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Left alone, we're only halfway home

Sink like stones, fall into the unknown

Break me down, I'm not afraid of you, pull me under

Slowly drown, I never wanted to, left alone to wonder

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Mind is open, thoughts are woken

There goes the sunrise

Heart is broken, love unspoken

Here comes the moonlight

Can you remember, you remember the last time

I left hungover?

Can you remember, you remember the last night

That I stayed over?

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Are we halfway gone or halfway there?

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Left alone, we're only halfway home

Sink like stones, fall into the unknown

Break me down, I'm not afraid of you, pull me under

Slowly drown, I never wanted to, left alone to wonder

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Whoa, we're left alone, whoa oh, whoa, we're left alone, whoa oh

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Left alone, we're only halfway home

Sink like stones, fall into the unknown

Break me down, I'm not afraid of you, pull me under

Slowly drown, I never wanted to, left alone to wonder

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Whoa, we're left alone, whoa oh, whoa, we're left alone, whoa oh

Rabbit Hole Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

Dear head, shut up, I can't listen no more

It's late, so shut up, is one night too much to ask for?

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

You are a haunted house, you're superstitious

You are the coldest stone carved marble faces

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

I'm barely standing on the ground

All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

With you, with you, with you, with you again

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

This bed, on fire, I can't sleep here no more

Too late and tired, dreaming down on the floor

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

I am a haunted house, I'm superstitious

I am a cardboard cutout, old and faded

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

I'm barely standing on the ground

All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

With you, with you, with you, with you again

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

I won't fall down, I won't fall down!

I'm barely standing on the ground

Barely standing on the ground!

All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

[Outro: Matt Skiba]

I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

San Diego Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

Sometimes I wonder where our lives go

And question who we used to be

Sometimes I feel like I'm the oxygen between

The cigarette and gasoline

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

I can't sleep cause what if I dream

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Of going back to San Diego

We bought a one way ticket so we could go see the Cure

And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot

And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

To San Diego

Can't go back to San Diego, can't go back to San Diego

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus (Matt Skiba)]

Abandoned houses with the lights on (whoa)

Late at night I call your name (whoa)

Abandoned love songs smashed across the hardwood floors

I read the sadness on your face

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]

I can't sleep cause what if I dream

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Of going back to San Diego

We bought a one way ticket so we could go see the Cure

And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot

And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

To San Diego

Can't go back to San Diego, can't go back to San Diego

[Bridge: Matt Skiba]

I never needed to hear all of the pain and the fear

Your secrets filled up my ears like the ocean blue

I never wanted to know how deep these cuts on you go

And like a river, they flow to the ocean blue

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh...

[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

Going back to San Diego

We bought a one way ticket, so we could go see the Cure

And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot

And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]

San Diego, to San Diego

Can't go back to San Diego, San Diego, can't go back to San Diego

The Only Thing That Matters Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]

Where the hell did you come from?

Outer space or heaven above

Short of breath, my long-lost love

I can't believe my eyes, Are you for real?

My life before was such a mess

There's no use dwelling on the past

My broken heart was in a cast

Then you showed up and it began to heal

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Cause you're the only thing that matters

Cause you're the only thing that's real

Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go

Cause you're the only thing I feel

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]

Someday

You'll come back to me

And I'll say

Something bitterly

And you'll go racing toward the kitchen

Grab a knife, erase my vision

Take my flatscreen television

And my paintings by Marilyn Manson

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]

Cause you're the only thing that matters

Cause you're the only thing that's real

Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go

Cause you're the only thing I feel

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]

Cause you're the only thing that matters (Woah-oh)

Cause you're the only thing that's real (Woah-oh)

Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go

Cause you're the only thing I feel

California Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]

Beige little boxes in a row

Neighbors and friends that you don’t know

Here’s a form, go wait in line, can’t you see I’m doing fine?

It’s what I’ve always wanted

Two little kids out on the lawn

Once we had love, now it’s gone

Good things haven’t happened yet, I’m empty as a movie set

It’s what I’ve always wanted

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Hey, here’s to you, California

Beautiful haze of suburbia

Living in the perfect weather, spending time inside together

Hey, here’s to you, California

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

Wearing all black out on the beach

Faces I’ve seen in magazines

Let’s take a walk out on the pier, watch the shoreline disappear

It’s what I’ve always wanted

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Hey, here’s to you, California

Beautiful haze of suburbia

Living in the perfect weather, spending time inside together

Hey, here’s to you, California

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Na, na na, na na, na na, na na (woah ohh)

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]

Hey, here’s to you, California

Beautiful haze of suburbia

Living in the perfect weather, spending time inside together

Hey, here’s to you, California!
