blink-182 – Always Lyrics

The fourth single from their 5th (self-titled) album, “Always” is a track centered around the longing for an old relationship, with the taste and smell once so synonymous with happiness causing desperation.

The band categorize it as a love song, and claim that it’s influenced heavily by the 1980s sound.

It’s got kind of an ’80s thing. It’s not a dance song, but if you were to dance to it, you’d look like you were right out of ’85

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
So here I am, I’m trying
So here I am, are you ready?

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Come on, let me hold you, touch you, feel you, always
Kiss you, taste you, all night, always
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
And I’ll miss your laugh, your smile
I’ll admit I’m wrong if you tell me
I’m so sick of fights, I hate them
Let’s start this again, for real

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
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?

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
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

[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
I’ve been here before a few times
And I’m quite aware we’re dying

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
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

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Always
Always
