The lyrics to "A Place Where You Belong"*:

{You're dead} [x2]

Your body's cold
Hope is lost I can't let go
Can I die with you so we can never grow old?
Cut the ties (Cut the ties)
With this note you left behind
As I read the words I hear you telling me why

Too late, too late
I never said goodbye
Too late, too late
Can't even ask you why
And now I'm wasting away in my own misery
I hope you've finally gone to a place where you belong

My sadness shows
As your name is carved in stone
Can't erase the words, so the reality grows
I wish I died (I wish I died)
On that night right by your side (Night right by your side)
So just kill me now, let the good times roll

Too late, too late
I never said goodbye
Too late, too late
Can't even ask you why
And now I'm wasting away in my own misery
I hope you've finally gone to a place where you belong

Will you wait for me? (Will you wait for me?)
Will I see you on the other side?
You won't have to wait too long
Yeah, yeah!
Will you come to me? (Will you come to me?)
Will you take me to the other side?
'Cause here I don't belong!

Too late, too late
I never said goodbye
Too late, too late
Can't even ask you why
And now I'm wasting away in my own misery
I hope you've finally gone to a place where you belong

I never said goodbye
Can't even ask you why (I've wasted)
Away in my own misery
I hope you've finally gone to a place where you belong

The Meaning of "A Place Where You Belong":

This song is--quite obviously--about a boy who's lover committed suicide. The reason I love this song is not so much the meaning itself, but the quality of the song and of the raw emotion the lyrics has. When I hear the lines dripping with emotional agony so thoughtfully written such as "now I'm wasting away in my own misery," "My sadness shows
 as your name is carved in stone," and "Cut the ties with this note you left behind as I read the
words I hear you telling me why." Something about this song just really hits me in the gut and I really wanted to share it. This song is also notable because it's a soft and melodious song written by BFMV! That doesn't happen a lot.

Lyrics to "Josie"*:

Yeah, my girlfriend takes me home when I'm too drunk to drive
And she doesn't get all jealous when I hang out with the guys
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me mexican food from Sombrero's just because
(Yeah, just because)

And my girlfriend likes U.L. and D.H.C.
And she's so smart and independent, I don't think she needs me
 Quite half as much as I know I need her
I wonder why there's not another guy that she'd prefer

And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3am
She's still up watching Vacation, and I
See her pretty face
It takes me away to a better place and

(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine

Yeah, my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road
And it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me mexican food from Sombrero's just because

And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3am
She's still up watching Vacation, and I
See her pretty face
It takes me away to a better place and

(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine

(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine
(I know that everything [3x]) Everything's gonna be fine

Meaning:

The meaning of this song is pretty straightforward, it's a love song. But the thing that I cannot get over is the LYRICS. In your average love song you get gushy and cliché phrases like "Your lips are roses" and "My heart is yours" and other words than when moshed together make me ill and remind me of those "teen romance" stories where everyone is so young that they probably don't even know what they're saying. This song, on the other hand really pin-point the perfect girlfriend. I mean, guys (or girls too), you can agree that the perfect girlfriend lets you hang with the guys and brings you burritos. I mean, sure she could be rambling meaningless words that honestly have no value whatsoever anymore, but I would take the Mexican food. Something about this song just seems so perfect, like there is nothing more accurate than what Blink-182 is describing here.
