BLINK-182
"Going Away To College"
(Tom DeLonge / Mark Hoppus)

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Please take me by the hand, it's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed, I won't turn out the light
Just don't forget to think about me and I won't forget you
"I'll write you once a week," she said

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Why does it feel the same to fall in love or break it off?
And if young love is just a game, then I must've missed the kickoff
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything but
I'd go through Hell for you and

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful to me

[Verse 3: Mark Hoppus]
I'll think about the times she kissed me after class and
She put up with my friends, I acted like an ass
I'd ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful

[Instrumental bridge]

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place but you're so beautiful
