Oh, how I wish that
They would last
Moments of peace that
Just slip through me so fast
Just when I think that
They are gonna stay
Everything inside me
Just starts fading away
Sometimes it seems
Like all I hope for
Just gets thrown
Down on the floor
And then it seems like
You don't love me anymore
Sometimes I wish that
I could run away
Sometimes I wish
I just had something to say

She looks at me and doesn't
Know the words to say
But it's not you, I just don't
Feel quite right today
All these things I say and
Do were never planned
But how the fuck am I supposed
To make you understand that

Sometimes it seems
Like all I hope for
Just gets thrown
Down on the floor
And then it seems like
You don't love me anymore
Sometimes I wish that
I could run away
Sometimes I wish
I just had something to say

    General Comment:I think it's about Mark offering up all he can to his girlfriend but she still doesn't care. It's only 1:04 minutes long, but that's great because it helps pass the time really fast

    General Comment:this song just kinda reminds me of not being able to find the perfect words to describe how you're feeling.
    the song kinda seems like he wrote it all at once, pouring out all his thoughts at the time. but still... he cant quite explain how hes feeling. it kinda seems like that hopelessness feeling
    But how the fuck am I supposed to make you understand that
    that line sums it up
    hhmm i swear... anyone who says blink is pop sucky shit...
    buy/download this song. fucken hell its the best

    General Comment:yeah, i'm a big fan of blink 182 and i have been for years, but this song is just so different from anything else they've released. nothing else has been this fast before by blink, and it seems like this is where they stopped making fast music. i wish they would go back to this style of music, that would be a lot better than some of the stuff they have been releasing.

    General Comment:this is the best song by blink182 - without a doubt.
    Sometimes it seems like all I hope for
    Just gets thrown down on the floor
    And then it seems like you don't love me anymore
    that part is so true. its about feeling hopeless and then doubting everything.
    Oh, how I wish that they would last
    Moments of peace that just slip through me so fast
    Just when I think that they are gonna stay
    Everything inside me just starts fading away
    i love this part too. 'everything inside me just starts fading away.'
    the song is really short too, which is a good thing. it sums it all up, without needing to be dragged out and getting too repetetive. its an EXCELLENT song!! nobody better come on here and diss blink cos this song is the best
