The ninth track off of Blink-182’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. The term “reckless abandon” is to take reckless action without caring about the consequences.
Tom wrote this “as a reflection on summer memories, including parties, skateboarding and trips to the beach.” He was kicked out of school...
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on...
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I learned a lot today, not sure if I'll get laid and
Not sure if I'll fail or pass, kissed every girl in class
Everybody would waste it all to have a summer that they could call
A memory that's full of fun, fucked up when it's all done
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
And break the truth with more bad news
We left a scar, size extra-large
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
Sip a drink of the alcohol, end up kneeling in bathroom stalls
Eyes are red and my movement's slow, too high, got vertigo
He took a shit in the bathroom tub and fed the dog brownie drugs
Tried hard to not get caught, he fucked a chick in the parking lot
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
And break the truth with more bad news
We left a scar, size extra-large
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Break a window and bust a wall, making fun of your friend's mom
Turn the music up way too loud, charge the pizza to the house
Everybody would waste it all to have a summer that they could call
A memory that's full of fun, fucked up when it's all done
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
And break the truth with more bad news
We left a scar, size extra-large...

Everybody has old summer memories. This is my song about going to the beach and hanging with my homeslices. This song is about going skateboarding from 12 noon to 12 midnight every day of the week. And most of all, it’s about going...
