The Rock Show
Blink 182 · Take Off Your Pants & Jacket
Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time I ever saw her there
She's getting kicked out of school 'cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends will hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and that made it I swear
Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that "I didn't know"
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait till her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
When we said we were gonna move to Vegas,
I remember the look her mother gave us
17 without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fucking explanation
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that "I didn't know"
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait till her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Black and white picture of her on my wall,
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting,
And if I ever got another chance I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that "I didn't know"
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show (8x)
I'll never forget tonight (6x)
