Feeling This

Mark: This is the first song we wrote for the record. The flange on Travis's drums on the intro of the song was done the old school way, using two tape machines. When it came to writing the lyrics, Tom and I went into two different rooms, and he wrote the verses, and I wrote the choruses, without discussing the subject ahead of time. It turns out we both wrote about sex. Two different sides, the passionate, lustful side (verses) and the romantic side (choruses). It is also available as downloadable content on the popular music (Rhythm) Game Rock Band 2.

[Intro] Get ready for action! [Verse 1: Tom DeLonge & (Mark Hoppus)] I got no regret right now (I'm feelin' this!) The air is so cold and null (I'm feelin' this!) Let me go in her room (I'm feelin' this!) I wanna take off her clothes (I'm feelin' this!) Show me the way to bed (I'm feelin' this!) Show me the way you move (I'm feelin' this!) Fuck it, it's such a blur (I'm feelin' this!) I love all the things you do (I'm feelin' this!) [Chorus: Mark Hoppus] Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna [Verse 2: Tom DeLonge & (Mark Hoppus)] Where do we go from here? Turn all the lights down now Smiling from ear to ear (I'm feelin' this!) Our breathing's got too loud (I'm feelin' this!) Show me the bedroom floor (I'm feelin' this!) Show me the bathroom mirror (I'm feelin' this!) We're taking this way too slow (I'm feelin' this!) Take me away from here (I'm feelin' this!) [Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, Both] Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna [Bridge: Mark Hoppus] This place was never the same again after you Came and went, how could you say you meant anything Different to anyone standing alone on the Street with a cigarette on the first night we met Look to the past and remember and smile And maybe tonight I can breathe for a while I'm not in this scene, I think I'm falling asleep But then all that it means is I'll always be dreaming of you [Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, Both] Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer (So lost and disillusioned) Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna (So lost and disillusioned) Fate fell short this time (Are we alone? Do you feel it?) Your smile fades in the summer (So lost and disillusioned) Place your hand in mine (Are we alone? Do you feel it?) I'll leave when I wanna (So lost and disillusioned) Fate fell short this time (Are we alone? Do you feel it?) Your smile fades in the summer (So lost and disillusioned) Place your hand in mine (Are we alone? Do you feel it?) I'll leave when I wanna (So lost and disillusioned)
