Me bout this sick sad
World,
Is once she caught me
Cheating she said she
Would never be my girl
So to myself I'd be
You'd have to shoot me
Down before I ever stop
Tryin'
She says I know a
Little of that somethin'
I say, hey, that's
Better than nothin'
I know I know
Got miscommunication
But we ain't stoppin' til
We hear it from the
Station
Like yeah, yeah
Oh oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh yeah yeah
Ooh I've been waiting for
This lovin' girl

To have used to have
But not no more
There was summer lovin'
In the air
Some of the best times
That I ever had and
Ever shared
It was just you and me
Sittin' on the sand
Baby sippin' Hennessy
Dancin' hand n hand
Listenin' to what the
DJs playin' for you and
Me
And we ain't stoppin' til

The only thing she told me bout this sick sad world,
Is once she caught me cheating she said she would never be my girl
So I said to myself be as strong as a lion
You'd have to shoot me down before I ever stop trying

Both bradly and rome are milestones for sublime, bradly gave us our love of this band back in the day, and i think he would be proud and honored to have Rome follow in his foot steps. i would never say "replace" bradly, because there is no one who could ever replace him but Rome gives this band an unbelevable new sound that bradly could not. i have and always will love this band.
Aaron Gharring Jr

Kelly Joel

Mike Fratelli
you can't really expect it to be like sublime
Thomas Feindel
Everyone needs to stop comparing Sublime to Sublime with Rome. Sublime is amazing. Nobody can replace Bradley, but Sublime with Rome is amazing. For christ's sake they don't even sound the same. There didn't replace Bradley. They just made an addition to the band, and a damn good one at that.

I agree all to much
