Lyrics for Man Overboard as interpreted by ScreamingInfidelity

Man Overboard Lyrics
So sorry it's over, So sorry it's over
There’s so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over)
There’s so much more that I needed and
(So Sorry it’s over)
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we’ll all be gone

Let's take some time to talk this over
You’re out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
Cause in the end it's fucking useless
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long

I remember shots without a chaser
Absent minded thoughts now you’re a stranger
Cover up the scars put on your gameface
Left you in the bar to try and save face

You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long
So sorry it's over, so sorry it's over
There’s so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over)
There’s so much more that I needed and
(So sorry it’s over)
Time keeps moving on and on and on
soon we’ll all be gone

Man on a mission can’t say I miss him around
Insider information, hand in your resignation
Loss of a good friend best of intentions I found
Tight lipped procrastination
Yeah later, see you around

Your all a bunch of idiots. this song was written for scott raynor, the ex - and first drummer of blink (blink 182). they wrote this song to him after kicking him out of the band.


they came to him, told him he had 3 days to make a choice, the band or the alchohol, he chose the band and told them the next day, but he had already been replaced by aquabats drummer travis barker.

Poor Scott, Hey made the right choice only one day later but it was too late. I still love Blink to death even with Travis instead of Scott but it was a real asshole move on Tom's and Mark's part. Anyway this song is sooo awesome. When my band covers it(like every other show) about ten people ask me who did that song cause no one remebers. A Blink classic even though it was realeased on The Mark Tom and Travis show disc.

I love Blink 182... WHen I started listening to them was when Enema of the State came out so I wasn't sure about all this Scott/ Travis thing. But now I love all their albums, Dude Ranch is pretty cool. I feel bad for Scott, but it seems as though this song sorta puts things to rest dont you think? Like Mark and Tom don't want harsh feelings against him... I hope so. I wonder how Scott's new band is doing! This song rocks, btw.

*shrug* Blink as a whole is just okay to me. The pinnacle of mediocrity, in my opinion. I have to say that Dude Ranch kicks ass however.

this song is so sad... the lyrics are awesome, possibly the best blink lyrics ever written... probably cause they're the most personal. it's pretty obvious it's about scott, too bad things happened the way they happened. but hey, I love travis too so it's all good.

Blink-182 is awesome. All those losers that think they are sell outs suck balls. I dont know maybe you guys are offended on how they are famous. Blink has changed I agree but there famed started with Dammit and that is on there old album. I mean Dammit was there first big hit and got everyone listening. And than Blink came out with Enema of the State. Punk is evolving in its self. Punk was suppose to get rid of all that pop stuff that was on the radios in the 80's but what happens if a punk band gets popular? They are labeled sell outs. To me that is bullsh*t

Poser song?poser song? how the fuck is this song a poser song? its about scott,and i agree with loser kid, it is bullshit, tom even said that like a shoe business, if they go to a big time store, than they are called sellouts, and that is just fucking sad, even for bands like blink 182 and green day, started off small and got big,so they get called sell outs, which is BULLSHIT!

this song is about scott leaving, because he wanted to finish his education, and how his drinking led to him being dependent on tom and mark, so they gave him an ultimatum.
