You know why I love this song?? Because it's about something that barely anyone ever writes about. Growing up and getting married and having kids and being HAPPY. This is a true love song. Love songs nowadays are all about heartbreak and sadness, and it's so refreshing to have one that is filled with joy. Good job, blink, you did NOT disappoint.
This song is so underrated it's ridiculous. I think these are arguably the best lyrics that Tom had ever written for a Blink song and I can feel the emotion in every word he says.
Not Now Official pretty sure this song was meant for his wife. "19, your eyes glowing to my beating heart..." some sources said they were met in 93 (highschool days) and start dating in 96
@@ogcodvideos6546, 182 News is a GREAT podcast. It's all about Blink-182 and their side projects. In a recent episode, the host states Tom did indeed sell all his songs for a pretty good price.
I love this song! Just screams life in a relationship. Everything is awesome...19 as we roll across the bedroom floor...”. The tough times...”the rapping section...and happily ever after...”in the end we are ok!! “. It is my dream! Only song I can think of the rivals this is by Hothouse Flowers, Thing of Beauty.
It's actually a really well written song. It evolves. Blink is no longer the party thrashing 24 year olds... They are 38-39 year old dads... You can definitely see he's talking about his wife. refers to how they have kids now and are growing old.
+Gabriel Esuola yes well said , i can relate so much with those lyrics being born in 75 as Travis and Tommy, lol i grew up with them listening them songs
Verse 1: Tom DeLonge] Nineteen, your eyes are glowing to my beating heart Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm And you never really know where it goes up until it starts I got my eye on you, whatcha gonna do? Daydream near a stream with the linear bites Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night And I can't picture you, but I sure got the feeling right What a crazy world, pretty little girl [Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge] And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruise And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news And you reached for my hand, I was scared in your room We fell on the floor and we started to move And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop Up my back, they would climb just as I came unglued [Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus] She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind And I'll do it again" If you play the part, then I will play mine And I'll do it again If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight We'll be there to try it again [Verse 2: Tom DeLonge] Nineteen as we roll across the bedroom floor Your eyes, they cannot lie, as you're dreaming of our future home And the kids are growing up, as you and I, we are growing old What a crazy world, pretty little girl [Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge] In the rain, with the drink from the back of the bar I would raise up my voice, you would raise it up more We'd forget that our lives being apart, it is hard We'd thought we were close, but it still feels far Can we learn to get by if we learn to have scars? If we learn to forgive and accept who we are [Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus] She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind And I'll do it again" If you play the part, then I will play mine And I'll do it again If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight We'll be here to do it again [Verse 3: Yelawolf] Wait a minute, hold up a second Don't leave me here with this feeling, like I'm the one full of regret Like I never did good for us both, like you never did Pull out that weapon And stick that knife in my back, was I supposed to accept it When your words are like More than just sticks and stones, kinda like a bullet A hollow tip that's lodged in my bones, and I can't just swallow it My pride is more than all that I own, so I gotta give it away And some of the times I'm all the way wrong But can't you see past me and see my fucked up home That made me the meanest, the devil is just singing along To the song I write 'til I'm alone at night And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue 'Cause I know that me and you is just only right, but One, one, one, one... [Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge] It's a cry from the past, we have been through a lot Every year has been great and a few have been tough And your kids, they will reach for the stars up above We'll sit and relax as we're cheering them on The ropes to the light from the crib to the grave We started alone, in the end we're okay [Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus] She said "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind And I'll do it again" If you play the part, then I will play mine And I'll do it again If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight We'll be there to try it again
This song is amazing and relevant and so real. The older I get the more I listen. REALLY listen to these guys, they are deep and accurate in writing about so many parts of life. The stages and things we don’t usually talk about.
Nineteen your eyes are glowing into my beating heart Oh it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm And you never really know where it goes up until it starts I’ve got my eye on you, whatcha gonna do? Day dream near a stream with a winter bite Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night And I can’t picture you but I sure got the feelin' right What a crazy world, pretty little girl And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruise And we’re laughing out loud over the craziest news When you reach for my hand I was scared in your room We fell on the floor and we started to move And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop Up my back they would climb just as I came unglued She said if you break my heart then I’ll change your mind And I’ll do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And I’ll do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight We’ll be there to try it again Nineteen as we roll across the bedroom floor Your eyes they came alight as you’re dreaming of our future home And the kids are growing up as you and I we are growing old What a crazy world, pretty little girl In the rain with a drink from the back of the bar I’m raising my voice, you raise it up more We forget that our lives have been apart it is hard We thought we are close but it still feels far And we learn to get by if we learn to have scars We learn to forgive and accept who we are You said if you break my heart then I’ll change your mind And I’ll do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And I’ll do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight We’ll be there to do it again Wait a minute hold up a second Don’t leave me here with this feelin Like I’m the one for regrettin Like I never did coke for a spoke Like I never did pulled out that weapon And stick that knife through my back Was I supposed to accept it when your words are like More than just sticks and stones kinda like a bullet I don’t tip that lies in my bones and I can’t just swallow it My pride is more than all that I own so I gotta give it away Some of the times I’m all the way wrong but can’t you see past Me and see my fucked up home that made me the meanest The devil is just singin along to the song I write to alone at night And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue Cause I know that me and you is just only right, but one… It’s a cry from the past we have been through a lot Every year has been great and a few have been tough And the kids they will reach for the stars up above I said relax we cheer in the morrow All the ropes to the life from the crypt to the grave We started alone in the end we’re okay You said if you break my heart then I’ll change your mind And I’ll do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And I’ll do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight We’ll be there to try it again
Wow. Thank you, Mark, Tom, and Travis for allowing me to temporarily go back a few years to when I was 18/19 to re-live a part of my life which was beautiful but I know I cannot return to. "It's a cry from the past we have been through a lot Every year has been great and a few have been tough." This has been absolution for both parties involved in what happened. I normally don't post things like this, but I'm a little drunk and very sad tonight so I don't care. Life is good, though.
I get tears in my eyes after that rap part hearing the lyrics to that last verse. You can hear so much emotion in those words and also realize there won’t be any blink songs like this again
This entire album was awesome. Tom really knows how to write lyrics 'about something' and make you feel exactly how he feels in the story he's singing about. Blink 182 was getting better and better at doing that album after album.. and then they broke up :(( I also never thought twice about the rap at the end until someone mentioned it, feels like Travis's influence. Just like the sort of AVA sound at the beginning. Their willingness to keep finding new sounds, experiment, and still pull it off is what makes this band amazing.
Classic blink song. O-M-G. HAHAHA. Fuckin weird space sound, slow, the only good thing in this song is pre chorus, rest is shite. Classic blink song is M+M's. Take out the rap and you have AvA.
Clark Kent completely agreed. ive had every album and no matter the sound there are certain songs that give you the same feeling. This one minus the yellawolf or whatever that guys name is does it for me. The guy above you is just your typical band hipster who likes to pretend the best music a band ever makes is their first and maybe second album.
Haha. What a bullshit. I love every Blink album. I'm only saying that this song is nowhere near classic Blink song. "Dogs Eating Dogs" on this EP is a brilliant song and for sure has that classic Blink vibe a lot more. I also reckon that California is a very good album and songs like TOTTM, Cynical, SOOHM, Rabbit Hole, San Diego are great and bring back what Blink-182 is all about so unfortunately I'm not a typical hipster or some other shit that you think.
Blink will always be my favorite band. I've been listening to them from the beginning. I've grown up with their music. I have teenage kids now and they are both fans as well. I can't think of any other band that the 3 of us would listen to together. Pure awesomeness.😍
Yelawolf is a very versatile artist who can tailor his rapping to fit almost any song and he does an amazing job here too. He is one to respect all genres of music as well so he is a great fit. I couldn't picture any other rapper doing a better job and fitting into this genre. If you don't like it, listen to the rest of the album. But let us who enjoy artists being artists enjoy this song. This is what music is about, experimenting with sound to make music. It doesn't have to conform to a set of rules, that's why they are called artists. Uniqueness and experimentation is what drives the industry. I'm sure you haters aren't in middle school anymore, so stop acting like it and enjoy their beautiful creation.
As someone who grew up with these guys, i can't think of a better song to end that chapter of my life with... this album couldn't have come out at a better time...
I'm back here again after California Deluxe. The lyrics are top notch and you can actually feel the emotion in Tom's voice. It's not just him singing. It's not just him recording. It's him speaking.
I remember neighborhoods came out when I was 16. I was so excited because I thought Blink-182 would ever make a return back then. When this e.p came out I was even more excited. This song stuck out to me since I'm a hopeless romantic who was still a teenager. I remember the lonely drinking I did and jamming out to this because nobody listens to what I do. Ahh good times. I didn't care much for the rap verse but after listening to the lyrics several times I've grown to love it. It's what makes this song even more special. When California came out, I was this much excited all over again. I can't wait to hear what the new album is like. 05-10-2019 cheers everyone 🍺
The more I listen to it, the more Yelawolf doesn't really bother me. It just makes Tom sound that much better (like that was possible) afterwards. Great song
Its more like putting ricotta on a fucking lobster! Shit i was really grooving until that rap shit came on. It wasnt even decent even the rapper himself sucked.
I love their "old" stuff with a passion. And I love their "new" stuff with a passion. It's the same blink, grown up. DEAL WITH IT. Yelawolf sounds amazing on this btw. It's a great track.
God I wish Tom would come back and they’d make another album. I liked neighborhoods too damn it. Yes there were some filler songs but up all night, wishing well, even if she falls in love, along with some others were good and so was this ep. I like Matt fine but nothing is ever gonna meet this combination
i can't stop listening to this track. Blink helped me growing up and now Blink helps me to settle down the score (or how do they say in english) thank you Blink for being come to Hungary sometimes :D
What everyone needs to understand is that every band evolves. Each album should be judged separately of each other. The comparison can't be made between albums because they are just that - separate albums. Blink-182 should keep doing what they're doing. I appreciate the growth and change. The new album triggers a sense of nostalgia that, by all logic, shouldn't be there. There is nothing this album refers to that would provide it with this feeling. In this way, the album is a success.
its actually great, just has no place in this song. So forced. It doesnt transition into it well at all, and transitions even worse out of it, they lazily forced it in to a song that doesn't call for it. Standing apart from this song, its a great part.
A lot of people hate the direction blink has taken. To me it shows their maturity. It's music that is easy to relate to everyday situations as an adult. I love their old stuff, but I absolutely love their new stuff.
It was my wife wedding song. Til dis day wen she hears it she cries because it was an emotional day for her she's my big baby. I love her n my daughter
I didn't have my own phone until I was 18-19ish. My first 💔 Kyle was the only guy that called me. He moved away after a month and it took me many years to get over him.
to see a band that has consistently released such incredible music over the years break up...and then release neighborhoods upon reuniting...i was like a father. i wasnt mad, but i was disappointed. but this...this really warms my heart. their heart is back in it, theyre doing new things. i am really happy about this.
Blink 182 has been making music with almost nothing but the voices of two people. Be understanding when they experiment with a different voice that isn't Robert Smith's for once in 20 years. You don't understand the creation of music if you get mad at a band for thinking progressively and incorporating new genres. If I meet any of you haters in person I will slap the damn shit out of you.
Eddie Southwick hey, I think we should set aside our differences today. Let's take some time to be thankful we have Blink 182, and smartphones and laptops through which we can argue with strangers. Merry Christmas everyone.
I became a fan in 2009 at 14 years old. They came back at the right time in my life. I saw blink with tom when i was 19 in 2014. Tom went his own way again the moment my teens were over. It was perfect. (Skiba rocks btw)
Nineteen, your eyes are glowing to my beating heart Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm And you never really know where it goes up until it starts I got my eye on you Whatcha gonna do Day dream near a stream with the linear bites Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night And I can't picture you but I sure got the feeling right What a crazy world Pretty little girl And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruise And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news And you reached for my hand I was scared in your room We fell on the floor and we started to move And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop Up my back they would climb just as I came unglued She said If you break my heart then I'll change your mind And I'll do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And I'll do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight We'll be there to try it again Nineteen as we roll across the bedroom floor Your eyes they cannot lie as you're dreaming of our future home And the kids are growing up as you and I we are growing old What a crazy world Pretty little girl In the rain with the drink from the back of the bar I would raise up my voice, you would raise it up more We'd forget that our lives being apart it is hard We'd thought we were close but it still feels far Can we learn to get by if we learn to have scars If we learn to forgive and accept who we are You said If you break my heart then I'll change your mind And I'll do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And I'll do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight We'll be here to do it again Wait a minute hold up a second Don't leave me here with this feeling Like I'm the one full of regret Like I never did good for us both Like you never did pull out that weapon And stick that knife in my back Was I supposed to accept it When your words are like More than just sticks and stones Kinda like a bullet A hollow tip that lodged in my bones And I can't just swallow it My pride is more than all that I own So I gotta give it away And some of the times I'm all the way wrong But can't you see past me and see my fucked up home That made me the meanest, the devil is just singing along To the song I write til I'm alone at night And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue 'Cause I know that me and you is just only right but one It's a cry from the past we have been through a lot Every year has been great and a few have been tough And your kids they will reach for the stars up above We'll sit and relax as we cheer in the morrow The ropes to the light from the crypt to the grave We started alone in the end we're okay You said If you break my heart then I'll change your mind And I'll do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And I'll do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight We'll be here to try it again
i like yelawolfs part bc since him and travis are boys it adds travis barkers new path to the mixture of this EP, right there with marks +44 vibe and toms AVA
Everything Blink makes is awesome. So many different sounds and types of music. People need to stop getting stuck in their ways and recognize talent and just enjoy it.
blink in the course of their history and of their albums have ALWAYS had a lot of changes ... from a dude Ranche enema to take off urs pants and jacket to blink's 2003 album Neighborhoods to arrive today ... the beauty of blink 182 lies in this ... they change and fans appreciate this ... love blink 182, love tom, mark and travis ... and so will always be so put on your heart at rest.
I remember when i listened to this song with my first girlfriend in 2012, a couple of years later we lost the mark but we didn't try again, i hope that she's happy now.
Your all nuts if you don't like the rap part, I understand it is different, but BLINK is different and lyrically it is amazing as is the rest of the song
