[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Nothing sinister starts out sober
Sometimes the chemicals work me over
The things you learn at 4am
When do I become who I am?
Save your blast from the past
This is not a mirage
I’m a stolen car in a parking garage
On your hands and your knees
Do you feel in charge?
Crawling back to who you were
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I just wanna feel good
I wanna feel special
Dig down
Underneath the pressure
I wanna fake my pain away
I wanna fake my pain away
I just wanna feel good
I just wanna feel good
And fake my pain
[Post-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I just wanna feel good, good
I just wanna feel g-
[Verse 2: Alex Gaskarth]
Where does the time go?
Here comes the heavy low
I got two houses and a hungry hungry ego
Hard to make the best of a good thing now
'Cause this town’s too big, too big for the one of me
Sometimes you make friends with the enemy
Am I the one on the throne or a wannabe?
Are you crawling back to who you were?
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
'Cause I just wanna feel good
I wanna feel special
Dig down
Underneath the pressure
I wanna fake my pain away
I wanna fake my pain away
I just wanna feel good
I just wanna feel good
And fake my pain
[Post-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I just wanna feel good, good
I just wanna feel good, good
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth & Mark Hoppus]
I just wanna wake up
Put a smile on my face
That isn’t made up
Float just like a feather
Or sink just like a stone thrown in a river
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I just wanna feel good
I wanna feel special
Dig down
Underneath the pressure
I wanna fake my pain away (Fake my pain away)
I wanna fake my pain away
I just wanna feel good
[Outro: Alex Gaskarth]
I wanna feel special
When the hell is it gonna get better?
I just wanna feel good
And fake my pain
I just wanna feel good

That song was just a party, it’s one of my favourites. We kind of we found ourselves writing about a lot of the darker things and moments in our in our lives, and the lives around us...
Was making the song a long process?
We wrote that song like a month ago, that song is brand, brand new. We were in the studio with Zakk and we turned on a synth and checked to see if it was working, we hit some buttons and honestly, we were like that sounds kinda cool and that’s the beginning of the song. We worked on that song for a...
