“Man Overboard” is generally considered to be about the firing of blink-182’s original drummer Scott Raynor, due to his alcohol abuse—though this was never confirmed by the band members.
The song was originally intended to be released for the Enema of the State album, but didn’t make it because it...
[Intro: Tom DeLonge (Mark Hoppus)]
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
'Cause in the end it's fucking useless
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
I remember shots without a chaser
Absentminded thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars, put on your game face
Left you in the bar to try and save face
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge (Mark Hoppus)]
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over)
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I wanted and
(So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Man on a mission, can't say I miss him around
Insider information, hand in your resignation
Loss of a good friend, best of intentions I found
Tight-lipped procrastination, yeah later, see you around
