Every Time I Look For You
♫ Blink 182 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But this answer begs that question
Too blind to see tomorrow
Too broke to beg or borrow
Young and stupid
Left wide open
Hearts are wasted
Lives are broken
One more point of contention
I need some intervention
Approached with vague intentions
Betray my short attention
Span the distance
Bridge the border
Beg forgiveness
Round the corner
Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door
More time apart will give you
A few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through?
It always seemed to far to
Drive the point home
Send more letters
Pray tomorrow
Ends up better
Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door
I never did do anything that she asked
I never let what happened stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant
In spite of everything
In spite of everything
Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down
The lyrics of Blink 182's song "Every Time I Look For You" deal with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The song opens with the singer expressing confusion over why their partner left their previous relationship, acknowledging that their inability to determine the reason behind this betrayal complicates their current situation. The following lines suggest a sense of desperation and a lack of resources, as the singer describes feeling too powerless to change their circumstances.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on themes of distance and the barriers that prevent meaningful communication. The singer is unable to connect with their partner, either physically or emotionally, and feels frustrated by this inability to achieve intimacy. At times, the lyrics express regret over past actions and a desire for forgiveness, but the singer also expresses feelings of impatience and resentment. The song's repeated refrain - "Every time I look for you, the sun goes down" - underscores the sense of isolation and frustration that the singer feels, and suggests that they are trapped in a cycle of heartbreak and disappointment.

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
My hopes are dashed every time I try to reach out to you
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I struggle when our relationship starts to falter
I left another message, you are never around
I try to contact you but you never respond
Will the last one out please shut the door
Please close the door behind you when you leave
More time apart will give you
Increasing the time we spend apart will give you
A few more months to argue
More time to fight and disagree with each other
Is this too much to live through?
Wondering if this is too difficult to endure
It always seemed to far to
It always felt like it was too far away to reach
Drive the point home
Emphasize and reinforce the message
Send more letters
Communicate more through letters
Pray tomorrow
Hope for a better tomorrow

Results in a positive outcome
I never did do anything that she asked
I did not fulfill her requests
I never let what happened stay in the past
I cannot let go of the past
I never did quite understand what she meant
I never completely grasped her intentions
In spite of everything
Despite all the difficulties and challenges
