Song lyrics
I never thought I'd die alone 
I laughed the loudest who'd have known? 
I traced 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 

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 till I got home 
To pass the time in my room alone 

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 

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 till I got home 
To pass the time in my room alone 

I never conquered, rarely came 
But 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 
I can't wait till I get home 
To pass the time in my room alone

i have heard from the band that this song was originally a letter from an "adam".. it was just a poem but the kid commited suicide.. i think its somewhere in the booklet with lyrics.. this song was dedicated to adam.

I hear so much shit about blink every day but i dont care because this song is proof that mark tom and travis are gods... this is definitely one of the best songs blink has made, and probably the deepest. If everyday everyone would just sit down and listen to blink for like fifteen minutes every day, everybody would be so much happier.... i hope i will hear some more stuff by blink that is more like their old stuff than their self titled album...

this song is so beautiful, it was like their first serious one and really showed what they can do. i'm not gonna claim they're the most musically talented band in the world, but i think the way they can make such a simple tune sound so incredible is quite amazing.....i love blink!

i think there's a post on this somewhere...anyway, it's a mixture between a suicide letter mark read, and the lonelyness the feel on tour....

if you like this song, listen to "Jessica's Suicide" by Bad Astronaut, it's awesome!

"I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all" - am guessin they tried to kill themself with a toaster in the bath (as stated in previous blink song M&M's) and it didnt work, coz it wasnt plugged in!
i love blink to death, consider myself one of their biggest fans and have liked them around 5 years, not as much as some fans but does it really matter?

okay i dont like this song because blink182 tends to steal lyrics from other great bands. and in this one they stole from nirvana::

ADAMS SONG::
I took my time,
I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough

COME AS YOU ARE::
Take your time. Hurry up. The choice is yours, Don't be late.

and i know it wasnt an accident because everyone knew that song back in the 90s and the members of blink182 themselves have said that nirvana had an impact both on them and their music.

adia, i think the reason they did it was in tribute to nirvana, hence i took my time as opposed to take your time....i don't think they're stupid enough to 'steal' it and think they can get away with it with their popularity

this song is so f**ckin awesome...its so deep and blink can actually ditch there silly acts and be so meaningful..that is what seperates blink from all the other bands and which makes blink 182, the most ultimately, best band in the world ever BLINK 182 FOREVER
