I just noticed a general healthy thing about this song: it’s about JB’s late father after his passing, and he says that he “can’t be followed”, that’s a beautiful mindset, you’ll miss the dead but you can’t join them till it’s the right time, no matter what afterlife you believe in, that’s a gorgeous thing
I met my other half while he was serving in the US Army as a combat Medic in Iraq, and this is now our song. It's one of the most meaningful things to us hearing this song. We shared a year out there 15 years ago. It was our paradise being together on Skype on the moments we could be together with him in a warzone. Every second mattered and we adore this song.
Intro: Mark Hoppus] I miss you, I miss you [Verse 1: Mark Hoppus] Hello, there The angel from my nightmare The shadow in the background of the morgue The unsuspecting victim Of darkness in the valley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want Where you can always find me And we'll have Halloween on Christmas And in the night, we'll wish this never ends We'll wish this never ends
I used to float, now I just fall down I used to know but I'm not sure now What I was made for What was I made for? Takin' a drive, I was an ideal Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real Just something you paid for What was I made for? 'Cause I, I I don't know how to feel But I wanna try I don't know how to feel But someday, I might Someday, I might When did it end? All the enjoyment I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend It's not what he's made for What was I made for? 'Cause I, 'cause I I don't know how to feel But I wanna try I don't know how to feel But someday I might Someday I might Think I forgot how to be happy Something I'm not, but something I can be Something I wait for Something I'm made for Something I'm made for
