About Feeling This

"Feeling This" is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182 for their eponymously titled fifth studio album (2003). The song is the opening track on the album and was released as its lead single on October 2, 2003 through Geffen Records. It was written by guitarist Tom DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker, and was produced and mixed by Jerry Finn. The song originated on the first day of producing the album. Its lyrics are purely sexual in nature; the band attempted to juxtapose lust and passion between verses and choruses, thematically connected with a wistful, regretful tone. The song features a Latin-inspired backbeat in the chorus, and the song ends in a melodic, harmonized duet split between DeLonge and Hoppus. Elements of the song were inspired by rock groups Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys. The song's music video, photographed by David LaChapelle, depicts a dystopian correctional facility that is overtaken by its inmates. An early version of the song, erroneously titled "Action", was released on the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 2004.

I got no regret right now(I'm feeling this)
The air is so cold and low(I'm feeling this)
Let me go in her room(I'm feeling this)
I want to take off her clothes(I'm feeling this)

Show me the way to bed(I'm feeling this)
Show me the way you move(I'm feeling this)
It is such a blur(I'm feeling this)
I love all the things you do(I'm feeling this)

[Chorus]
Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer. 
Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna.

Where do we go from here
Turn all the lights down now
Smiling from ear to ear
Our breathing has got too loud

Show me the bedroom floor
Show me the bathroom mirror
Were taking things way too slow
Take me away from here

I'm feeling this [Repeat: x6]

[Chorus]

This place was never the same again
After you came and went
How could you say you meant anything different to anyone
Standing alone on the street with a cigarette on the first night we met

Look to the past and remember and smile
And maybe tonight I can breathe for a while
I'm not in this scene I think I'm falling asleep
But then all that it means is I'll always be dreaming of you

[Chorus]

Are we alone do you feel it
So lost and disillusioned
