Reply #14: Blink 182, Adams Song

[ixion]

there are others, of course, but this one always gives me goosebumps...

Adam's Song by Blink 182 (pics)
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known ?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time , I hurried up
The choice was mine I didnt think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when Im gone
I never conquered , rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide , too late to try
The tour was over, I'd survived
I couldn't wait til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered , rarely came
Tomorrow just holds such better days
Days when I can still felt alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide , the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
