BLINK 182 (dude ranch) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
A 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
(Ah)

Line by Line Meaning
I think of awhile ago
Reflecting on a time in the past
We might have had it all
The potential for a great relationship existed
But I was so stupid then
I made mistakes
You needed time to grow
You needed time to develop and become more mature
But now just as things change
Our circumstances have changed
As well my feelings do
My emotions have also evolved
In time things rearrange
Over time, things are subject to change
I am so sick of chasing you
I am tired of pursuing a relationship that is not reciprocated
But what do I get
Despite my efforts
'Cause I just seem to lose
I am always unsuccessful
You make me regret
I feel remorseful
Those times I spent with you
The memories of our time together
And playing those games
The manipulative behavior in our relationship
A I wait for your call
I anxiously await communication from you
And now I give up,
I am surrendering and moving on
So goodbye and so long
Farewell forever
It's not a change of pace
This is not a sudden change
This time I'll get it right
I will handle the situation more successfully
It's not a change of taste
This is not a matter of preference
I was the one there last night
I was the one who was present and available
You have your other friends
You have other companions
They were there
They were present for you
When you cried
During times of emotional distress
Didn't mean to hurt you then
I did not intend to cause you pain
Best friends just won't
Close friends do not normally
Leave your side
Abandon you
When I needed you most
During my times of greatest need
When I needed a friend
When I needed a supportive companion
You let me down now
You have disappointed me
Like I let you down then
Similar to how I had failed you previously
So sorry, it's over
I apologize, but this is the end
