Blink182(블링크 182) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here, please hold my hand LORD now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how
To fight this, God has a master plan
And I guess, I am in his demand

Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see, you when this is done
And now I, have come to realize
That you are, the one who's left behind

Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on, to me
I'm right here, waiting

I see, the light it feels good
And I'll come, back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss

Please stay, until I'm gone
I'm here, hold on, to me
I'm right here, waiting
And take, my one last breath




And don't forget
That I will be right here, waiting [Repeat: x3]

I always used to listen to this song while on the bus going to my crush's house. Literally, everytime I came over, this is the song I played. That was almost 9 years ago today and we are now 7 years in. I'm gonna ask her to marry me after all this pandemic nonsense is over.

Wish me luck, my dudes and dudets 🤙🏼


Edit: She said yes!!! Thank you guys for all the support. Have a great year, everyone!!


Edit 2: we're gonna get married next week!!! Thank you guys for all the support. Best of luck to y'all!! 💕

This song and video was like the Epilogue for the original blink. So sick

@JuanIgnacioFernandez

Fully agree. Even back then i thought of that..It was obvious that they were falling apart.
