“On Some Emo Shit” tells the story of a guy who’s girlfriend seems to have disappeared. He’s seen trying to cope with all the thoughts of loss and loneliness; he feels like he’s failed her and thinks that death might be the only way he could put himself to rest.
It’s unclear whether the girl has co...
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I suppose we got lost in Brooklyn
There's a poster on my wall
With a picture that says you're missing
My friends say I should rip it apart
Thought I saw you at the bodega
Thought I heard your voice at the bar
Time is slipping out through my fingers
I'm wishing on a burned out star
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
They say forgive and forget
As long as I live, I'll let
These feelings pound in my chest
Maybe I am better off dead
[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
The last time that I saw her, she was standing on the edge
Of a good time, been a long time, tell me how could I forget?
She had questions in her eyes, oh, I should have realized
That it was over, yeah, it was over
The last time that I saw her
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Thinking back to times in Manhattan
And that SoHo gallery
Saw the sights and your favorite paintings
You were as priceless as can be
Now I'm looking back at the city
The one that they say never sleeps
How'd things get so dark and shitty?
Sunrise always gives us the creeps
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
They say forgive and forget
As long as I live, I'll let
These feelings pound in my chest
Maybe I am better off dead
[Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
The last time that I saw her, she was standing on the edge
Of a good time, been a long time, tell me how could I forget?
She had questions in her eyes, oh, I should have realized
That it was over, yeah, it was over
The last time that I saw her
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Now you're just a stranger
And I feel like I let you down
Your friends say I'm a failure
And I could never prove 'em wrong
So call me when you're lonely
And maybe we can work it out
Fall back in our routines
Like nights I still dream about
The last time that I saw her
The last time that I saw her
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
The last time that I saw her, she was standing on the edge
But it was over, yeah, it was over
The last time that I saw her

A straight break-up song. The idea is that you hear voices and you see pictures of someone you’ve broken up with. It takes you back to the bad places.
