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

Okay first of all theres nnothing in the booklet of enema of the state unless its on a nother CD. is there a vid for this ? wat happens ? i dont kno ne thinq about the videos ! what else ? uhm ... o yea . in the end its like "the tour was over we survived" SURVIVED MEANS ALiVE, so i guess its not a suicide note as all you jack asses seem to think it is . bye now .

wow...u guys are my kinda ppl! i LOVE blink-182!! this song is sooo good!! it's really deep...i heard that thing about it being a letter from a guy named adam too. i also heard that it's about touring. that's what blink-182 said in an interview. they said it was partly about suicide and partly about how they get really lonely on tours. this is the BEST song ever played by the BEST band ever!!! BLINK-182 ROX!! mark hoppus is awesome!

I just one thing to say people, you are all idiots, its just a song, Ok it does talk about suicide but still. AND on top of that its copied from nirvana.
So ya, blink was good, WAS, but now they suck, they're fags now, ever since boxcar. "Take ur hand in mine and im set for the summer" I mean WTF?. Where they on crack? no, they've gotted bad

luv the song. to the pricks who say it's not good try being and having friends that are suicidal, then you will understand. also did it occur to people that Nirvana's lead singer killed himself (maybe that is why there is a similarity in lyrics, as a tribute)
your's annoyingly

I think this song is one of Blink 182's deepest songs,or at least the deepest on Enema of the State. And i'm leaning towards the kid who commited suicide by hanging himself, maybe,maybe not. anyway GREAT SONG!

This has gotta be blink's finest song, and thats saying something considering there's countless numbers of them. I may even contemplate hanging myself just to get a song of this quality wrote about me. On second thought, no. That would be silly. *plans to write a song about myself instead*

if it has ANYTHING to do with nirvana in the first place, you can tell its a reply. mark is just answering kurt. thats all :-)

kurt- take your time
mark- i took my time
kurt- hurry up
mark- i hurried up
kurt- the choice is yours
mark- the choice was mine...........

The video doesnt really have much to do with the song as i remember...havent seen it in years tho... Someone asked about "I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all"

I personally think it was about himself...maybe being a failure...he wondered why nothing was working and it was because it wouldnt have ever been able to... I dunno...but it is one of the most kick ass songs ever....

I saw them 2 weeks ago and cried during this song...i dont think any other band could have pulled it off so well...Mad Props

"So ya, blink was good, WAS, but now they suck, they're fags now, ever since boxcar. "Take ur hand in mine and im set for the summer"


umm....i do believe it's "Fate fell short this time , your smile fades in the summer, place your hand in mine, i'll leave when i wanna" wit "Are we alone can you feel it, so lost and disallusioned" in the back ground too

What the hell?!?! Metallica? Every single one of their freaking songs is the same... why listen to bands that only do one thing and arent good at it than bands that are decent at what they do and can do other stuff as well?
