BLINK 182 (dude ranch) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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)

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
