Blink 182 · Enema of the State

Lets take the boat out on the bay
Forget your job for just one day
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
It might be innapropriate because
Either way our band gets dropped..oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Why do I want what I cant get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

The three-date theory is getting old
Everyone is getting left out in the cold
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
So I'll see you with another guy
Who pretends not to hear you when you cry..oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Why do I want what I cant get?
I wish it didnt have to be so bad

I'll be moving on..movin on..movin on and on and on
I'll be moving on..movin on..movin on and on and on

But I'd play with fire to break the ice
And I'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something I'll regret?
Why do I want what I cant get?
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

I wish it didn't have to be so bad

I wish it didn't have to be so bad

I wish it didn't have to be so bad
