It's hard to wake up, when the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted, it's so pathetic, it makes no sense at all
I'm ripe with things to say, the words rot and fall away
If a stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day
So here's your holiday,
Hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away
It was mine, so when your dead and gone,
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
It's not right. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/blink_182/stay_together_for_the_kids.html ]
Their anger hurts my ears, been running strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them, it makes no sense at all
I see them everyday, we get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants, and this is what she wants, then why's there so much pain?
So here's your holiday,
Hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.
It was mine, so when your dead and gone,
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
It's not right.
So here's your holiday,
Hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.
It was mine, so when your dead and gone,
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
It's not right
It's not right
It's not right
It's not right

Reminds me of the first 12 years of my life. My parents tried to make it work but they couldn't, so they blew up my life and theirs. Now that i'm 19 and 7 years removed from all of it, it made everybody happier in the long run and the rough patch made me stronger.
This song brings back so many bad memories. My parents divorced when i was 6 and it was really sad that my dad would quit being a pothead and my mom want a threesome... I feel sorry for anyone that has their parents divorced, it's just not fair. If your not completely sure you're always going to love each other, don't get married in the first place. I love this song and i hope you guys do to.
This song is so amazing. I know exactly how a lot of these peop;le feel. My mom and dad dont talk though. They dont sleep in the same room. And they dont even talk to each other. It hurts. But we deal with what life deals us.
This song brings back too many memories. Thanks for fucking up my life guys. Thats pretty much what this song is about, along with living in a broken home. The very beginning tho i think is christmas day or some holiday, becuase you can hear a rc car driving aound, then theres a split second of silence. Thats pretty deep.
In the holiday part,the kids are already grown ups, and there is no reason for the parents to stay together anymore,and the time for them to separate thats why it is a holiday for them..
My mom and dad were never married because my dad has another woman,and it hurts,. Why just cant they marry for me? ,but i realize that if they are married,still it wont work out,and i think it's better if they are not married than being together fighting,staying together for me but there is no love at all..
My parents have been fighting like at least 10 years and they still sleep in the same bad but it kinda hurts me to hear when my mom told me how much she wishes she had never met him or that she didn't want to talk to him. The reason they stay together that because of me and my brother. Right now i'm 1000 miles away (in another continent) from home but to know that they don't talk to each other and how my dad feels so lonely.. It breaks my heart... It was very hard for me to be around them,every time i stayed with them i got very depressed and wanted to run away.. I wish they were happy together but i guess, the love has gone long time ago.
My understanding of the lyrics : so here's your holiday,
hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away. It was mine, so when your dead and gone,
will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
it's not right.
Is that when he is 20 he leaves home . 20 years was his life at home with his parents but they chose to fall out .. Kind of ruined his homelife ... Now its their holiday...
Kind of sucks when parents fall out , they make you grow up quicker than you should ... Bigger responsibility at a younger age ... Hear things you shouldnt ... Get a divorce already ... A smaller house , less reliable car is better than living 20 years of arguments x
Their anger hurts my ears, been running strong for seven years
rather than fix the problems, they never solve them, it makes no sense at all
i see them everyday, we get along so why can't they? If this is what he wants, and it's what she wants, then why's there so much pain?
They have been married for 7 happy years
and they never help their problems
the kid gets along with his parents and doesnt
understand why his mom and dad cant get along
they both want to stay together yet they always fight
and the child doesnt understand it at all
This song means alot to me b/c my parents told me that they were getting a divorce when i was 12. They never did. L8r my mom told me that it was b/c they were not going to make it hard on me and my little brother (who is now 13) so they aren't divorced. My dad sleeps in the guest bedroom every night while my moms in "their" room. They fight every day and even try to make me take sides. I'm leaving as soon as i'm done with high school (out of state college) and i plan to take my brother with me. It is so hard to hear him cry every night. This song is amazing
