Full Lyrics For ‘ONE MORE TIME’ By Blink-182
The full lyrics for One More Time are out. For anyone who is worried about mondegreen, here you go:
Tom DeLonge:
Strangers, from strangers into brothers
From brothers into strangers once again
We saw the whole world
But I couldn’t see the meaning
I couldn’t even recognize my friends
Mark Hoppus:
Older, but nothing’s any different
Right now feels the same, I wonder why
I wish they told us, it shouldn’t take a sickness
Or airplanes falling out the sky
Tom DeLonge:
Do I have to die to hear you miss me?
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye?
I don’t want to act like there’s tomorrow
I don’t want to wait to do this one more time
Tom DeLonge (Chorus):
One morе time
One more
Onе more time
One more time
DeLonge and Hoppus:
I miss you, took time, but I admit it
It still hurts even after all these years
And I know that next time, ain’t always gonna happen
I gotta say, “I love you” while we’re here
Chorus sang again.
The full ONE MORE TIME album will be released on October 20th. It can be pre-ordered now on the band’s website.
