Blink-182 Release ‘Edging,’ Their First Song With Tom DeLonge in 10 Years
Today (Oct. 14), the iconic trio of blink-182 have released their first song with Tom DeLonge in a decade, "Edging." The reunited band had promised the single earlier this week when they announced their comeback with the formerly estranged blink-182 guitarist and vocalist.
Fans of the pop-punk act will be stoked to hear blink's Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker back with DeLonge 10 years after they last worked together on 2012's Dogs Eating Dogs EP. The last time blink-182 released an official single with DeLonge was in 2011 with "After Midnight." It appears on that year's Neighborhoods album.
Listen to "Edging" down toward the bottom of this post, underneath the lyrics for the new blink-182 song.
A new album from blink-182 is also on the way. In 2023 and 2024, the group will hit the road on a massive world tour. See the dates below. Get blink-182 tickets here.
DeLonge had hinted at his return to blink earlier this year. Concurrently, Hoppus said he was "open to anything." Rumors heightened in 2021 after Hoppus finished chemotherapy. In 2015, Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba replaced DeLonge in the band. They released California (2016) and Nine (2019) with Skiba.

blink-182, "Edging" Lyrics (via Genius)
I ain't that cool, a little fucked in the head
They'll be hangin' me quick when I'm back from the dead
Get the rope, get the rope, get the rope, get the rope
I'm a punk rock kid, I came from hell with a curse
She tried to pray it away, so I fucked her in church
Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know Yeah, don't you know?They say 'you're not safe here if I stay with a knife that sharp'
No way, no I leave the broken hearted
Oh no, look at thе mess we started
Oh no, I lеave the broken hearts this way
Whatcha say? Wanna play?Yea, don't be fooled, I'm only letting you down
They pursue me on foot, but I hid in the crowd
Like a ghost, like a ghost, like a ghost
The seats of my car are filled with cigarette burns
I got a fire in my eye, a little blood on my shirt
Let's hit the road, hit the road, hit the roadI know there's a special place in hell
That my friends and I know well
There's a perfect place to go
When it's time to lose controlNo way, no I leave the broken hearted
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I leave the broken hearts this way
Whatcha say? Wanna play?Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Night and daydream
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
You can't save meNo way, no I leave the broken hearted
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I leave the broken hearts this way
Shit
Oh no, I leave the broken hearts this way
Oh no, look at the mess we started
Oh no, I leave the broken hearts this way
Whatcha say? Everyday? It's a waste, wanna play?
