Apple Shampoo

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me
But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
The good intentions that you had, now only came to this
And although she saw the mark, the arrow missed

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
It isn't exciting reciting the stories
Of kind words turned hurting, when routine gets boring

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Both getting tired of punk rock clubs
And both playing in punk rock bands
The start was something good
But some good things must end

[Verse 3]
And she said, "It could never survive with such differing lives
One home, one out on tour again"
We may never come back, the strike of a match
The candle's burning at both ends
And now she knows too much, and I'm too fucked up
It's awkward trying to make my move
I'll pretend that I'm fine, show up right on time
But I know I'll never be that cool

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I never wanted to hold you back, I just wanted to hold on
But my chance is gone
I know just where I stand
A boy trapped in the body of a man and

[Post-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I'll take what you're willing to give, and I'll teach myself to live
With a walk-on part of a background shot, from a movie I'm not in

[Bridge]
She's so important, and I'm so retarded

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And now I realize, I should have kissed you in L.A
But I drove home all alone, as if I had a choice, anyway
Where are you coming from? What are you running from?
Is it so hard to see?

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
And if you're feeling scared, remember the time we shared
You know it meant everything (everything)
You know that it meant everything to me
You know that it meant everything to me

[Instrumental Outro]
