Man Overboard - Dead End Dreams Lyrics






I’ve got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.

I don’t know how old I am,
I don’t know if I’m grown up.
I feel good when I hold your hand,
But when you're gone it’s not enough.
(No, it's never enough)
I’m busy trying to save my world,
And making plans to see a girl.
I’ll do both if I can
And figure out how old I am.

[Chorus:]
I’ve got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you’re not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.
They'll come true.

(They'll come true)

I don’t know what to write to you,
I don’t know what your dream boy sings.
I don’t know what I’m addicted to,
It’s at least a few different things…
Just a few.
How could I save the world?
Too busy trying to see a girl.
I’ll do both if I can,
And figure out how old I am.

[Chorus x2]

If there was any attempt to make ends meet
I’ll meet you halfway
(I'll meet you halfway there)
If there was any attempt to make ends meet
I’ll meet you halfway
(And you would tell me)

I’ve got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you’re not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.

Nothing to show for these
Dead end dreams that constantly haunt me.
Nothing to show for these dead end dreams

[Chorus]

Come true
(My promises to you)

    I don't know man when listening to this band, it just seems bland nothing special here. I wish more pop punk bands made more iconic guitar riffs rather then these lame teenage angst anthems

    Bran Stark's band looks dope!

    Well then, I found my new favorite song.

  26. A.... O....

    Hey! I have that True Things hoodie!

  27. K.... ....

    I love generic pop punk. I'm serious, like I love Real Friends, Neck Deep, Man Overboard, etc.

    K.... ....

    Kev-Oh You should check out, The Starting Line, State Champs, Knuckle Puck!

    K.... ....

    @TheGoodWay -182 State Champs is one of my personal favorites. Knuckle Puck isn't a band I'm particularly fond of (not because of the drama but because the sound) but I will check out The Starting Line.

    K.... ....

    Kev-Oh The Starting Line is Awesome

    K.... ....

    Check out Yellowcard

    K.... ....

    knuckle puck is fuckin amazing, same with belmont

  28. D.... M....

    This isn't pop punk.

    D.... M....

    +Dog Mayor Are you Kidding Me? o.O

  29. S.... ....

    S.... ....

    Dank ass memes

    S.... ....

    Ever heard of Harambe

  30. s.... f....

    makes me think of wake the dead by CBK!

  31. W.... J....

    It's so awesome seeing a local band get successful

  32. S.... ....

    FUCK YA PHILLY!

  33. A.... S....

    these guys really have the lamest, most out of place lyrics, but they're one of the bands keeping pop punk alive so i can't complain

    A.... S....

    +AJ Stanton the lyrics don't work together they are mostly singular which makes no sense like pop, I like pop punk when I feel happy and love the catchy instruments

  34. j.... ....

    She didn't wash her hands after flushing that toilet...

    j.... ....

    jlad360 stank ho

    j.... ....

    It's good for you.

  35. y.... ....

    Cold Cave hoodie

  36. T.... ....

    MILOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! HES ALIVE?!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. u.... ....

    They remind me of 5 Seconds Of Summer haha

    u.... ....

    Who is a poser?

    u.... ....

    @underclassdamnriot 5sos is not pop punk theyre pop

    u.... ....

    their first show was opening for 1 direction. you cant get any less pop  punk than that

    u.... ....

    @Daniel Stradley yeah that was in the past. State Champs are actually opening for 5sos on their Australian tour haha. State Champs used to tour with MOB and Neck Deep.

    u.... ....

    and wiz khalifa toured with fall out boy

  38. A.... ....

    man had this band come out 10 years earlier (back when this music was way more popular) they would have blown up the radio waves right along side blink 182 & fall out boy

    A.... ....

    +Dog Mayor h8r

    A.... ....

    +Dog Mayor why so negative bro? Not trying to start anything I just don't see why you have to be so pessimistic about it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if you don't like the music then that's fine that's your choice, move on. But it's rather unnecessary to leave hate mail don't you think? I'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus but I don't make it a point to search her videos and leave a comment about how awful her music is. Just saying.

    A.... ....

    +Roy Arnett lol, i know right. I can't stand Soulja boy, but I don't waste my time hating on his music. I Simply just ignore it like it doesn't exist.

    A.... ....

    +Ajax9774 exactly

    A.... ....

    You are actually right. Finally someone who puts this out.

  39. P.... M....

    danielle sharp brought me here if you know what i mean

  40. C.... ....

    I would literally die for pop punk

    C.... ....

    I have that Sunrise Skater Kids t-shirt. One of the best purchases i've ever made

  41. L.... 1....

    Did she just use the bathroom then break up with him?

  42. A.... A....

    They sound like New Found GLory.

  43. G.... G....

    Pop Punk will never die

  44. T.... S....

    lead singer kinda reminds me of Andrew Garfield

    T.... S....

    and Jonah Hill on bass

  45. R.... H....

    jonah hill shreds

    R.... H....

    +Ryan Hamill why does everyone say nik looks like jonah hill? I don't really see the resemblance that much

  46. V.... V....

    I'm such a sucker for Zac 

  47. j.... p....

    nothing new under the sun

  48. M.... ....

    stop comparing this to blink 182 they sound NOTHING ALIKE  

  49. e.... f....

    My penis isn't small guys its moderately sized..

    e.... f....

    @ashy marie Interesting.. Funfact of the day lol

    e.... f....

    I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING

  50. l.... d....

    great song xD

  51. M.... ....

    phillyyyyy

  52. o.... ....

  53. e.... s....

    I love these guys so much.

  54. B.... H....

    56 guys are lifeless..!

  55. p.... ....

    Skateboarding&Pizza&Friendship

    p.... ....

    @jingothegodofsheep I was talking about Matty Mullins the whole time!

    p.... ....

    @jingothegodofsheep I like your backpack even though it serves no functional purpose!

    p.... ....

    @a zesty breakfast burrito this anchor tattoo clearly illustrates how I'm feeling, deep sea fishing is one of my hobbies

    p.... ....

    @Jerry Barnard I also have a tattoo of my favorite crewneck!

    p.... ....

    @a zesty breakfast burrito alright you guys, we're gonna take a quick pizza break.. That was unbelievably satisfying, PIZZA IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE

  56. S.... M....

    1:37 THPS 1 anyone?

    S.... M....

    @drumdaynight17 Philadephia.

  57. S.... W....

    who just compared this mediocre, wannabe weezer/wonder years band to blink 182? sigh..

    S.... W....

    Your such a wannabe fanboy you give blink 182 a bad name your a cancer you should take some medicine then some more and more just take all off it

    S.... W....

    +GoLdFuZioNHD you're commenting on something I said 2 years ago.. and I'm the wannabe? lmao choke yourself kid

    S.... W....

    +thelonelybarbarian 1 year ago* and you responded

    S.... W....

    +GoLdFuZioNHD well all levity aside, my opinion still stands. blink 182 is miles ahead of this and so many other bands, they're actually original

    S.... W....

    +GoLdFuZioNHD but I'm not going to argue with you because I'd venture to say you weren't alive around the time they blew up, so you couldn't understand

  58. c.... g....

    Man overboard is such a corny band , but it's so cute .

  59. C.... ....

    I saw them live with mayday parade and stages and stereos, stages and stereos is my favorite, but these guys are still awesome.

  60. W.... ....

    looks like he has no teeth lolololol

  61. D.... P....

    What if every time a girl broke up with/rejected you Man Overboard crashed through the wall and played "Dead End Dreams"

    D.... P....

    I would ask out everyone I could

    D.... P....

    Also, what if not only they started playing this song but handed you a slice of pizza too?

    D.... P....

    @Chillhardy now thats right thinking

    D.... P....

    It would be like in Ned's Declassified where he wants to be a rockstar and his teacher from Everclear plays "I Just Want To Be a Rockstar" every where he goes.

    D.... P....

    Danny Pasquarelli i still wouldn't get to see them. fuck.

  62. O.... H....

    blink 182 AND man overboard, how bout that?! 

  63. S.... S....

    This dude sure likes to do frontside 180s

    S.... S....

    I seem to do way too many pop shove its, so I guess everyone has their "trick?" lol

    S.... S....

    more like frontside 182s

    S.... S....

    @117390574802364881176 Because its easy to do.... guess you surely like to do 360 flips.

  64. y.... ....

    I saw them live a couple hours ago; and, they sucked. They sounded like they had just sucked a shit load of helium and thought, "Yep, now I can sound fabulous."

  65. F.... ....

    You know what this video needs? More lens flare. Yeah that sounds good.

  66. A.... I....

    I just recently heard these guys for the first time on the Glamour Kills Tour with Mayday Parade and I have to say. They're really catchy. Also the lead singer tends to like to tell some lame jokes on stage haha.

  67. I.... ....

    After being on youtube as a new band, I know how much hate people can give when reading these kinds of comments...but we're hoping you'll give us a chance!
    We are IT'S ONLY A STORY, a Pop Punk band based out of Orange County CA and have a few hundred followers, which is pretty impressive, but we'll never get noticed with these numbers.
    If someone would have the heart just to give this a thumbs up and spend all of 30 seconds watching a vid, it would mean the world. Thank you all.

  68. M.... ....

    This is so Philly I love it! Seeing them this upcoming Friday right here in the city of brotherly love - welcome home boys

  69. U.... ....

    This band is so corny.

  70. H.... P....

    watch?v=gURHfMQm1OQ If you dig pop punk!!

  71. T.... ....

    They played this song last night in concert and it was amazing! I already have post-concert depression.. miss them. They played great last night!

  72. b.... ....

    just bc they are in a band? LOL ....cmon man

  73. b.... ....

    Lifetime - Hello Bastards. Great record!

  74. C.... W....

    I doubt any of these guys have girl prolems

  75. U.... D....

    This band got well known fast.. I remember when they had like 16k Followers on Twitter?Which felt like yesterday.. Now they've got close to 60k. They fucking deserve it tho!

  76. S.... C....

    Dumb Duck?

  77. M.... ....

    dude this song is stuck in my head great job man overboard :D one of my new favorite bands

  78. D.... L....

    What's funny is all the people that are making the negative comments are sitting behind there computer, while this band is on stage, doing what they love and not on a computer trolling ;)

  79. D.... 4....

    Moral of the story; when life's retarded go skate and listen to Man Overboard

  80. p.... z....

    I don't think they copy them. I think they are just inspired by Blink, a band that fucking rocks btw jussayin

  81. p.... z....

    okay, I love this song! I cannot find any tabs to this song online and I am too stupid to figure out the notes by ear. What in the world are the chords to this song?

  82. N.... n....

    oh man the top comments they got me cracking up

  83. V.... A....

    Who's care. haha.

  84. A.... C....

    sounds more like a pop punky Weezer though

  85. P.... H....

    they're a copy of blink but i aint even mad

  86. S.... W....

    congrats, want a fucking medal?

  87. x.... ....

    looks like everyone is an ass fuck

  88. m.... w....

    mexico is not the only country that speaks Spanish lets see virtually all of south and central america, countries of the cost of america such as Cuba, San Salvador, and Haiti and most obvious SPAIN. THE COUNTRIES NAME IS IN THE FUCKING LANGUAGE YOU SPOON

  89. C.... D....

    Brazil speaks portuguese

  90. v.... ....

    Go back to listening to Slayer.

  91. v.... ....

    My life will cease to exists if Man Overboard ever stops making music.
