"A Letter To Elise"

[Originally by The Cure]

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
But you and me
There're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away
The way you do

Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...

So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
At all...

A banda se chamava Blink, mas uma banda irlandesa já havia sido registrada com esse nome. Eles resolveram, então, adicionar o 182 (por escolha própria e sem sentido comprovado pelos integrantes). Figure 8 e Duck Tape foram nomes cogitados antes de o nome Blink 182 ser adotado.

Barker e Delonge têm um projeto paralelo chamado Box Car Racer, que tende a tocar um punk mais sério e cru. Barker também tem a banda Transplants, com integrantes do Rancid

Delonge aprendeu trompete aos 10 anos de idade. Mudou pra guitarra porque não era muito bom no sopro...

DeLonge é obcecado em aliens e OVNIs. Ele é certo de que há algum tipo de conspiração governamental para cobrir a existência de aliens.

Hoppus e DeLonge são conhecidos pelo seu bom humor no palco. Fazem piadas sobre pênis e peidos direto. Barker, por sua vez, é quieto.

Para impressionar Tom na primeira vez que o viu, Mark escalou um poste de luz.

DeLonge foi preso durante a turnê Good Times por beber sendo menor de idade. Um policial percebeu que ele estava bêbado andando pelas ruas de noite.
