The Only Thing That Matters - Blink-182

Album: California

genre: Pop-Punk Punk-Rock

Where the hell did you come from
Outer space or heaven above
Short of breath my long-lost love
I can’t believe my eyes
Are you for real?

My life before was such a mess
There’s no use dwelling on the past
My broken heart was in a cast
Then you showed up and it began to heal

‘Cause you’re the only thing that matters
‘Cause you’re the only thing that’s real
‘Cause you’re the only thing I’ll never let go
‘Cause you’re the only thing I feel

Someday
You’ll come back to me
And I’ll say
Something bitterly

And you’ll go racing toward the kitchen
Grab a knife erase my vision
Take my flatscreen television
And my paintings by Marilyn Manson

‘Cause you’re the only thing that matters
‘Cause you’re the only thing that’s real
‘Cause you’re the only thing I’ll never let go
‘Cause you’re the only thing I feel

‘Cause you’re the only thing that matters
‘Cause you’re the only thing that’s real
‘Cause you’re the only thing I’ll never let go
‘Cause you’re the only thing I feel

California Danzig album lyrics
Mark Hoppus told NME: "John got it in his head that the bass and the drum parts together made it sound like country punk, so we changed it slightly. It is a really cool, fast song that will be fun to play live."
Song details

  • Mixing: Cervini, Avron, Lancaster, Grosse

John Feldmann, the album producer, told Fuse: "Mark originally had this cow punk, Social Distortion but in the Country-iest way that none of us felt a connection to at all. It had this yeehaw-vibe to it but none of us hated the music or the melody, we just didn't connect to it then. Mark had the song mapped out and then he went back and re-wrote the whole thing and it became a song we all loved."
