​​blink 182 What’s My Age Again

Arguably one of the greatest pop-punk anthems and one of the most popular blink-182 songs. “What’s My Age Again?” was written by Mark Hoppus and was inspired by the fact that he was often pointed out as ‘immature’. The original title was “Peter Pan Complex,” but their record company (MCA) changed it, believing people wouldn’t understand its meaning.

The song follows a character (most probably Mark Hoppus himself) who is 23 years old but still acts like a child. He pulls up pranks and jokes that annoy people and is left wondering if he is portraying his real age. He finally concludes that he shouldn’t care what people think of him and continues his childish ways.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus with Tom DeLonge]
And that’s about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What’s my age again? What’s my age again?

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a payphone
I said I was the cops and your husband’s in jail
This state looks down on sodomy

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus with Tom DeLonge]
And that’s about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What’s my age again? What’s my age again?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus with Tom DeLonge]
And that’s about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three
And you still act like you’re in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
(What’s my age again? What’s my age again?)
That’s about the time that she broke up with me (Please stay with me)
No one should take themselves so seriously (Please stay with me)
With many years ahead to fall in line (Please stay with me)
Why would you wish that on me?
(Please stay) I never wanna act my age
(With) What’s my age again? (Me) What’s my age again?

[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
What’s my age again?
