blink-182 - Wildfire

Think of your favorite song from Enema of the State. Now think of your favorite song from California. Now imagine them falling in love and starting a family of their own. That's what this song is.

[Verse 1]
I could never own up
I need to speak up
I don't want to grow up
Don't want to end up caught in a landslide
With the other side

[Verse 2]
Living for the paycheck
Dying for the weekend
Take another Xanax
Cheating on your girlfriend
Taking your last breath
Counting down the time

[Chorus]
Don't tell me it's too late
I'm stuck at heavens gate
Strike a match and start a wildfire
I'll own all my mistakes
Won't give you what you take
Watch you burning in the wildfire

[Verse 3]
They said I'd never make it (watching me fall)
All the time I wasted (learning to crawl)
Crawl from the ashes
As this world comes crashing down

[Chorus]
Don't tell me it's too late
I'm stuck at heavens gate
Strike a match and start a wildfire
I'll own all my mistakes
Won't give you what you take
Watch you burning in the wildfire

[Verse 4]
We won this war
We cursed and swore
They stood no chance at all
(The underdogs came home)
We won this war
We cursed and swore
They stood no chance at all

[Bridge]
I don't forget
I don't forgive
I'll never change the way I live
I always fought the urge to fall in line
I turned my back on all the rules
I'll never heed the king of fools
I'll never lead the perfect kind of life
I don't forget, I don't forgive (We won this war)
I'll never change the way I live (We cursed and swore)
I always fought the urge to fall in line (They stood no chance at all)
I turned my back on all the rules (We won this war)
I'll never heed the king of fools (We cursed and swore)
I'll never lead the perfect kind of life (They stood no chance at all)

[Outro]
The Underdogs came home

Can we all agree that the deluxe version is much better than the original album? This sounds so much like a Enema of the State song, AND I LOVE IT!

[aliensarerealancient]

Far out, the deluxe extra songs are better than the regular songs on California!

Love this track!

[rukpunkers]

Hell Yeah Punk isn't Dead.
Keep Blinking <3

[Steve-vmfi]

Dont get my wrong, I liked California but everything off the Delux album so far sounds better to me. Also Matt sounds more like Matt and less like Mark on these tracks (that's a good thing)

[bababowii]

i’ve never been one to comment on videos, especially trauma dump on them, but this song really speaks to me. my mom passed away when i was 12 and this album came out a few years after her passing. this song gives me chills because i had to grow up so fast that i didn’t get to things that other kids did do. this songs tells me it’s okay to let your inner child out.

[underclasshr]

Unlike most opinions about the California album, I find it to be one of my favorites. Probably in my top 3.

I'm really digging this deluxe album. Every song gives you something a tad different. Misery and 6/8 were darker and just different but very well done. Parking Lot was simple and just energetic and nothing wrong with that. Wildfire somewhat sounds like Enema of the State. Can't get you more pregnant was fine for a quick 30 second song but felt incomplete. Overall I like the direction Blink-182 is going.

[ludes_music]

I absolutely love this song! These songs from the deluxe definitely add on to California to make a beautiful sound and almost a collection of memories. As much as I love Tom and what he does, I will always be a blink fan.

[milesk]

This is the most blink sound I've heard in almost 2 decades! Awesome

[peteroffmx]

Piense en su canción favorita de Enema of the State. Ahora piensa en tu canción favorita de California. Ahora imagine que se enamoran y comienzan una familia propia. Eso es lo que es esta canción.

Siempre haciendo las cosas bien Blink 182 ! ♥♥♥

[SuperMirco]

This new album seems to have a lot of variety. This song and 6/8 looks so different compared to Misery and Parking Lot!

[SISUGaming]

"I'm stuck at heaven's gate" love what mark puts out and it's funny because his voice has been the same since '92! Go Mark and Travis!!! blink life 4 life!

[MikeFGD]

I love Matt's part toward the end. I love those lyrics and then how Mark chimes in with his part.

[andrevrd]

This band is like a dream come true. A dream I could never have imagined on my own. So like an actual dream.

[Fltzwg]

Blink-182 doesn't disappoint.
Blink-182 delivers.

[Longbajubi]

0:31 this guitar part fucks my brains out. Matt is such a really good player.

[randomgamer]

This song is so freaking beautiful. It's totally the refinement of the California style. And that bit of Enema at the beginning, it adds more soul into this song!

[sevpha]

Ain't gonna lie, I've probably listened to this 182 times on repeat. So good.

[Foxy-veoh]

Blinks old songs are good and so are their new ones not many bands that have been around since the 90s can say that usually the old songs are good but the new ones are bad this is why blink is my favorite band

[LilaMudbanana]

I never thought the California record would be so good, but every song they release is freaking amazing

[sophiaschmidt]

I love you guys so much! Surprisingly, my dad show me you guys and i went to your 2016 Salt Lake City concert and everything felt different for me. You guys changed my life.
