I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am, I'm trying
So here I am, are you ready?

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always

And I'll miss your laugh, your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights, I hate them
Let's start this again for real

So here I am, I'm trying
So here I am, are you ready?
So here I am, I'm trying
So here I am, are you ready?

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always

Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
Always
Kiss you, taste you, all night
Always

Always
Always

    i think this song is about about a relationship not going well the line "and your hands they shake the goodbyes, and ill take you back if you have me" it sounds like the girl is breaking it off and he cares for her alot still and still wants to be with her. then the second vers is like it has been broken off and he misses everything about her and he is trying everything to get back with her.

    ahh i love this blink song. like its not really quality or talent or something, idk, and the lyrics are simple, but it always makes me want to cry a little when i hear it. honestly, blink is the masters of depressing pop. but anways, its like this guy who was kinda not the best bf ever, like he knows its his fault, but didnt realize the girl would actually end things so hes tell her hell try harder if he gets a second chance. its like he knows he doesnt quite deserve her but he is totally going to change her because once he loses her he realizes just how much he needs her. most guys are like this i think.

    it's about a relationship nearing the end, and he knows that it's ending and he's trying to get her to come back to him by telling her he'll make things right again ("I'll admit I'm wrong if u tell me/I'm so sick of fights/I hate them/Let's start this again for real") He's trying to talk her into coming back by reminding her of the old times they've had together and saying he's wrong. It's kinda sad, but a good song.

    I agree with most of your views of this song. All I have to add is this song is amazing and really brings out the talent in Travis Barker (along with every other song on this album). Also, Tom has added great guitar riffs and bridges throughout this album which we haven't heard since Cheshire Cat. Great Album, damn great.

    I think this song is about a relationship where it seems that both know it is going to end, and at first Tom sings as if he's savoring the moments that are left and that he wants to leave it at that, but at the end of the second verse he says "Let's start this again for real" so I believe that he is saying that despite their differences he is willing to give their relationship another chance. This is echoed when he repeats the refrain twice, with more intensity the second time, before moving on to the chorus. Well, that's just how I see it. I love this song because blink-182 is really just playing around with musical ingredients from the '80s, like the ultra-fast tambourine in the chorus (it says in the album insert that they're tambourines so don't tell me it's a cymbal).

    This is their new single, which they can't play live (that's what I've heard anyway).
