Blink-182 - Dude Ranch Album Lyrics

I know I'm pathetic, I knew when she said it
A loser, a bum's what she called me when I drove her home
There's no more waiting and sure no more wasting
I've done all I can but she still wants to be left alone

You've got, you've got, you've got to help me out
And I'll try not to argue
No one, no one, no one likes a dropout
Mistakes are hard to undo

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different but I'm the same and I'm wrong
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, this is where I belong

I think it's disgusting, believing and trusting
If I gave a f*ck there would be nothing for me to prove
Although it's amusing it's slightly confusing
I've done all I can but her ego is still hard to move

You've got, you've got, you've got to help me out
And I'll try not to argue
No one, no one, no one likes a dropout
Mistakes are hard to undo

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different but I'm the same and I'm wrong
Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, but this is where I belong

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong
I think I'm different, this is where I belong

And when the day ends I'm sure she feels sorrow
The lonely guy I am, I wait for her change
I've been here two days, I'll sure be here tomorrow
I'd eat her out if she were on my dinner plate

(And I wish) I wish she'd be more kind now
I'm out of luck 'cause the shades are pulled down
I've seen everything there is to be shown
I followed her all the way home

I can't be too cool in a tree with my pants down
The air is cold and I've got splinters in my feet
She caught me once but I don't think that she cares now
Unlike before, her view is now blocked by a leaf

(And I wish) I wish she'd be more kind now
I'm out of luck 'cause the shades are pulled down
I've seen everything there is to be shown
I followed her all the way home

I bet this last time's the one time too many (na-na-na)
The rush of waiting is burning through my head (na-na-na)
Right after supper, her brother showers twice a week (na-na-na)
He kicks my ass so much, that filthy white inbred (na-na-na)

I've made mistakes by looking in the wrong window
Her dad is big and I've never seen his face
I've been here two days and I'll sure be here tomorrow
My lady's so sweet, she likes to entertain

(And I wish) I wish she'd be more kind now
I'm out of luck 'cause the shades are pulled down
I've seen everything there is to be shown
I followed her all the way home

I bet this last time's the one time too many (na-na-na)
The rush of waiting is burning through my head (na-na-na)
Right after supper, her brother showers twice a week (na-na-na)
He kicks my ass so much, that filthy white inbred (na-na-na)

(One, two, three, four)

It's alright / to tell me / what you think / about me
I won't try / to argue / or hold it / against you
I know that / you're leaving / you must have / your reasons
the season / is calling / and your pictures / are falling down

The steps that / I retrace / the sad look / on your face
the timing / and structure / did you hear / that he f*cked her?
a day late / a buck short / I'm writing / the report
on losing / and failing / when I move / I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
someone that understands
sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
and I've been here for too long
to face this on my own
well I guess this is growing up
well I guess this is growing up

And maybe / I'll see you / at a movie / sneak preview
you'll show up / and walk by / on the arm / of that guy
and I'll smile / and you'll wave / we'll pretend / it's okay
the charade / it won't last / when he's gone / I won't come back

And it'll happen once again
you'll turn to a friend
someone that understands
and sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
and you've been there for too long
to face this on your own
well I guess this is growing up

Alright stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention.
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know.
Turn out the lights, and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance, bum rush to the speaker that booms.
I'm killin' your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Growing up

I guess this is growing up
I guess this is growing up
I guess this is growing up
I guess this is growing up
I guess this is growing up

You don't need nothin'
And I know that you won't even try
Don't wait for me to help you
It's too late for any of my advice

No trust, all I got is lies
Boring, alright

Misplaced your values
Forgot the importance of being right
Don't sit there and act humble
I've heard your story a thousand times

No trust, all I got is lies
Boring, alright

Please mom, you ground me all the time
I know that I was right all along

And I'm hoping
Remember I'm a kid
I know not what I did
Just having fun

You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through

Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before

Shit dad, please don't kick my ass
I know I've seen you trashed at least one time

Can I blame it on one of my dumb friends?
It's been awhile since I have used that line

You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through

Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before
(Alright)

Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before

Watching your house shrink away in my rear-view mirror
As I drive away
Wishing that I could take back all those words
That meant nothing that I didn't say

I'm trying to be what you want me to be
But it's so damn hard to keep playing the part
Of the fool, week after week

I think you need some time alone (I think you need some time alone)
You say you want someone to call your own
Open your eyes, you can suck in your pride
You can live your life all on your own

Is this all going to be just another time
That we play this game?
I've tried to convince you that things could be different
But somehow they end up the same

But what did you expect from me?
What am I supposed to do?
You say that you're starting to feel like you're getting lost
Well, I do too

I don't wanna live this lie again (I don't wanna live this lie again)
I know I'll get it right but I don't know when
I'll open my eyes, I've got something inside
I'll just jack-off in my room until then

It's never over 'til it's done
And I don't think that you're the one
It's never over 'til it's done
And I don't think that you're the one

It's never over 'til it's done
And I don't think that you're the one
It's never over 'til it's done
And I don't think that you're the one

Am I strung out, crazy, or not allowed
To be the one who gets stupid over you
Lazy (lazy), laid back (laid back), maybe you're just on crack
Why am I the one who gets f*cked up and confused? (Go)

She doesn't care at all
She doesn't care about those times we never shared at all

If I were the last of the few who always ask
Would you still be the same person that I knew
And if it's for me, another boring story
I swear I'll act enthused

I think of awhile ago
We might have had it all
But I was so stupid then
You needed time to grow

But now just as things change
As well my feelings do
In time things rearrange
I am so sick of chasing you

But what do I get 'cause I just seem to lose
You make me regret those times I spent with you
And playing those games as I wait for your call
And now I give up, so goodbye and so long

It's not a change of pace
This time I'll get it right
It's not a change of taste
I was the one there last night

You have your other friends
They were there when you cried
Didn't mean to hurt you then
Best friends just won't leave your side

But what do I get 'cause I just seem to lose
You make me regret those times I spent with you
And playing those games as I wait for your call
And now I give up, so goodbye and so long

It's not a change of pace
This time I'll get it right
It's not a change of taste
I was the one there last night

When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
You let me down now
Like I let you down then

So sorry, it's over
(Ahh...)

She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me
But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving

The good intentions that you had
Now only came to this
And although she saw the mark
The arrow missed

It isn't exciting reciting the stories
Of kind words turned hurting
When routine gets boring

Both getting tired of punk rock clubs
And both playing in punk rock bands
The start was something good
But some good things must end

And she said, "It could never survive
With such differing lives
One home, one out on tour again

We may never come back
The strike of a match
The candle burning at both ends"

And now she knows too much
And I'm too f*cked up
It's awkward trying to make my move

I'll pretend that I'm fine
Show up right on time
But I know I'll never be that cool

I never wanted to hold you back
I just wanted to hold on
But my chance is gone

I know just where I stand
A boy trapped in the body of a man and

I'll take what you're willing to give
And I'll teach myself to live
With a walk-on part of a background shot
From a movie I'm not in

She's so important
And I'm so retarded

And now I realize
I should have kissed you in LA
But I drove home all alone
As if I had a choice, anyway

Where are you coming from?
What are you running from?
Is it so hard to see?

And if you're feeling scared
Remember the time we shared
You know it meant everything (everything)
You know that it meant everything to me

You know that it meant everything to me

One more time you will laugh about it
And he'll never try to give you more
And I don't care, he is such a dick
Treats you like you are a stupid whore

And it seems like things will never change
You go on, every cloud is in your way
And I know you feel empty all the time
You'll never listen to anything that I say

She's better off sleeping on the floor
'Cause she fell right off
When all is said, you know
It's okay to just want more

Why'd you leave when you claim it is love?
But why stay when you're not the only one?
She's proved she's strong
Be brave, be strong

She's better off sleeping on the floor
'Cause she fell right off
When all is said, you know
It's okay to just want more

She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)
She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)

She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)
She's better off sleeping on the floor
She's better off sleeping on the floor (because she fell right off her bed)

Yeah, my girlfriend takes me home when I'm too drunk to drive
And she doesn't get all jealous when I hang out with the guys
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because
Yeah, just because

And my girlfriend likes UL and DHC
And she's so smart and independent
I don't think she needs me
Quite half as much as I know I need her
I wonder why there's not another guy that she'd prefer

And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3 AM, she's still up watching Vacation
And I see her pretty face
It takes me away to a better place, and

I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine

Yeah, my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road
And it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because

And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3 AM, she's still up watching Vacation
And I see her pretty face
It takes me away to a better place, and

I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine

I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
Everything's gonna be fine

I've got her in my head
At night when I go to bed
And I know it sounds lame
But she's the girl of my dreams

And of course I'd do anything for her
I'd search the moons of Endor
I'd even walk naked through the deserts of Tatooine

Princess Leia, where are you tonight?
And who's laying there by your side?
Every night I fall asleep with you
And I wake up alone

And even though I'm not as cool as Han
I still wanna be your man
You're exactly the kind of Alderranian that I need

But when you were available, I was
Drinking Colt 45's with Lando
I was hanging out in the cantina on Mos Eisley

Princess Leia, where are you tonight?
And who's laying there by your side?
Every night I fall asleep with you
And I wake up alone

Princess Leia
Princess Leia
Princess Leia, where are you tonight?
And who's laying there by your side?
Every night I fall asleep with you
And I wake up alone

Crossed the street naked at night
Bent over to show some moonlight
Pulled out some beer and I gulped it down
Nude in a gutter is how I was found
Thrown in a police car and the door slammed
No noise, just silence as I screamed my dick was jammed
Now in prison for one month, no one to see
All I got is this guy Ben Dover

Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked ol' Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

Went to a farm to tip some cows
Forgot that I left my pants down
Bent over to pick them up
Felt a twelve gauge next to my hum diddy dum
The farmer took me to his house
Showed me the closet from the inside out
The police came and took me away
Saw Ben Dover again and he's still gay

Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked ol' Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked ol' Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

A freight train to the right
Feeling that sting of pride
It's f*cking with me, it's f*cking with you
All's fair in love and war
Until you say it isn't but you're wrong

Words on the back of flyers
My clothes are in the dryer
It means nothing, nothing is changing
La familia is dead and gone
The children grew up and moved on

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah

Prime select and a box of glazed
Pulling fly-bys on days when we were young and innocent
Elbow-drop Sundays when Mark Eaton got beat to shit

Laugh at the bands we hate
All the spots we used to skate
Well they're still there, but we've gone our own ways
I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder
Will I ever have friends like you again?

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah

You're gonna drown in the mess you make
Your self-inflicted hate
You turn your back on the friends you lose
When they don't follow all your rules

But people are what they wanna be
They're not lemmings to the sea
Maybe it's time you looked at yourself
And stop blaming life on someone else

Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down, I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

Just yesterday it, always seemed like such a dream
We're unstoppable, indestructible, nothing happens to our machine
And there's no harm, at least nothing we can see
As for you, not so true, you couldn't choose where his road would lead

What a loss, you just lost all your sleep
And we've always thought that this could never happen, you see
That it's so hard, you gotta get up on your feet
'Cause the only way, I gotta say, is to move on through the week

Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down and I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)

Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down and I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again
