I love the Offspring and have followed them for 20 years plus. They rock really hard (even now) but what amazes me is their songwriting - they write incredibly catchy melodies and the lyrics almost always get you thinking. This is one of the best songs about co-dependence ever written.
LYRICS She wakes up Rage and grace Pulling me closer, pushing away And me The sharpest thorn on your vine Twisting and turning We're all intertwined Broken wing Empty glass Words that scream and bounce right back She says, you know We'd all like to rearrange I wish I could fix you And make you how I want you Wish I could fix you And I wish you could fix me I wish I could heal you And mend where you are broken I wish I could heal you And I wish you could heal me Ha la la la, Ha la la la, Ha la la la A beaming sunrise buries the night The setting sun destroys the light Then she says, baby I've gotta get going Cutting each other without even knowing She sees a million stars like holes in the sky All God's tears for her they cry And I am in her rain I wish I could fix you And make you how I want you Wish I could fix you And I wish you could fix me I wish I could heal you And mend where you are broken Wish I could heal you And I wish you could heal me Oh... whoo, whoo Oh... Oh... whoo, whoo Oh... Broken wing Empty glass Words that scream and bounce right back She says... you know We'd all like to rearrange
Lovely and beautiful song! This only shows how amazing and complete The Offsprings are!! They have their reall powerfull rock songs but still they give us the pleasure of making such a beautiful song! LONG LIVE THE OFFSPRING!
U know The Offspring has such a catchy melody in almost EVERY of their songs and some songs remind me of certain stuff so whenever I listen to a new offspring song i'm always ready to hear something nostalgic and predictable but when you said I feel like this album has been waiting for me I just feel like The Offspring has been waiting for me to listen to all these songs it just feels like he knows my taste and my predictions on songs, I don't think I'll ever find a band this good.
She sees a million stars like Holes in the sky. All god's tears for her they cry. And I am in her rain. Best.... Lyrics.... Ever.... Dexter is such an amazing song writer. Why Offspring is so underrated as a band I will never know.
There is a reason for this. It sounds similar because it is the same style of song (sad lyrics, acoustic guitar). When similar instruments are used in a song, it can make it sound similar to others. Listen more to the chords. You can train yourself to recognize an introduction to any song
haha nice, I'm born in 89 too and I've been a fan since I know who they are (mid 90's), its been over 10 years now and they still kick ass much ass as they used too
When I listen to this I think of all of my friends one by one. I think of all the times that they've helped me get through tough times. I think about the friends who need my help. I can't help but shed a tear or two.
this band has been the most influential band in my life, i grew up listening to americana, and hammerhead, bravo guys, i love this new cd it is one of their best. (smash was good too) lol
Facing facts, the offspring are old. They are. They may never top their previous albums. But if this their new sound, this kinda half punk half rock, mellowed down sound, i'm completely down for it :)
yeah but the new albums have this same kind of sound. And unless they pull a Fall Out Boy and COMPLETELY jump off the deep end into pop, i'm down with it.
I love the Offspring. theyre my favorite band, and I dont think they will ever not be my favorite band. Ive heard all of thier songs and have all of thier albums...what can I say, I love them :) All of you people arguing should just relax and listen to the music...That is what music is for after all, listening, not debate.
I love this band I'm sooooo glad I got to see them live for their Conspiracy of One Tour It was Awesome fuckin awesome and they keep making great music I never get tired of listening to their music it totally rocks
You can listen any music, there will be similarities!!!! it is a brilliant song and a brilliant album. Rock bands had, have, and going to have similarities!
Wow, I feel ashamed as a hardcore Offspring fan. I didn't give this album a chance for a while when it first came out and now I feel like a dick because it is absolutely amazing. I love it.
Smashing album, besides the O.C life (which i found to be a bit mediocre) there is not a single track on R&F R&G that I dislike. Still putting out such quality after such a long time... it's nothing short of commendable what these guys are doing. Much love, Offspring... much love..
getting old isnt selling out the ones that miss the old offspring just miss the times personally i like everything since manic subsidal to this album if you are a fan you would understand
I wish I could heal you And mend where you are broken I wish I could heal you And I wish you could heal me Ha la la la A beaming sunrise buries the night The setting sun destroys the light Then she says, baby, I've gotta get going Cutting each other Without even knowing She sees a million stars like holes in the sky All God's tears for her they cry And I am in her rain
Cool song. It took a while to grow on me and seemed out of place amongst vintage Offspring style songs like Half Truism and Hammerhead, but I find it pretty listenable now. The Snow Patrol comparison is accurate.
The Offspring is one of those rare precious bands where I start happily singing along and a few songs later I'm in tears.

bgoveia07 I agree completely!
Yeah The Offspring's Melody Into Their Songs Is What Makes This Band So Cool
"She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All God's tears for her they cry
And I am in her rain"
fucking genius!!!
When i was a kid i used to listen to Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, all day long... Those were amazing days for sure.
damn they really do
this song makes me sad, knowing that they can never make a song this great again
This makes me cry every time. The lyrics are so deep
LYRICS
She wakes up
Rage and grace
Pulling me closer, pushing away
And me
The sharpest thorn on your vine
Twisting and turning
We're all intertwined
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says, you know
We'd all like to rearrange
I wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you
Wish I could fix you
And I wish you could fix me
I wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me
Ha la la la, Ha la la la, Ha la la la
A beaming sunrise buries the night
The setting sun destroys the light
Then she says, baby I've gotta get going
Cutting each other without even knowing
She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All God's tears for her they cry
And I am in her rain
I wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you
Wish I could fix you
And I wish you could fix me
I wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
Wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me
Oh... whoo, whoo Oh...
Oh... whoo, whoo Oh...
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says... you know
We'd all like to rearrange
It's not often that you hear this soft side of The Offspring. I like it. Definitely one of their more meaningful songs.
this song is so melancholic, but is so perfect too... i can't understand my feelings when i hear this
Really hope life gives you everything you need, Vi. Always hoping for the best for you.
wow this is one of my favs so far from this album, first time i've heard it. really powerful and emotional. love the offspring =]
I'm 60 years old and I love this song! I guess a good song has no age limit!
Wow this song really hits home right now. Here's to every guy who loves a girl that he wants to help fix, but doesn't know how.
Lovely and beautiful song!
This only shows how amazing and complete The Offsprings are!! They have their reall powerfull rock songs but still they give us the pleasure of making such a beautiful song!
LONG LIVE THE OFFSPRING!
Wow this nostalgia hit me and my wife so hard right now... Turning 35 in nov.
Sometimes i think this album has been waiting for me... i love this album so much..
U know The Offspring has such a catchy melody in almost EVERY of their songs and some songs remind me of certain stuff so whenever I listen to a new offspring song i'm always ready to hear something nostalgic and predictable but when you said I feel like this album has been waiting for me I just feel like The Offspring has been waiting for me to listen to all these songs it just feels like he knows my taste and my predictions on songs, I don't think I'll ever find a band this good.
She sees a million stars like Holes in the sky.
All god's tears for her they cry.
And I am in her rain.
Best.... Lyrics.... Ever....
Dexter is such an amazing song writer.
Why Offspring is so underrated as a band I will never know.
Every band needs at least one good ballad. The Offspring really proved with this song that they have range.
Wow!!! This reminds me why they're the best band in the world
Words and sound are BEAUTIFUL.
I'm in love with this song and I am so glad to hear The Offspring plays music this way.
God, THE OFFSPRING !!!!!
Those guitar effects during the chorus and at the end... wow
love it too, as almost all songs of THE OFFSPRING!!
This song is easily the best song on this album!
That music intro remind me "Wake me up when September End" by GreenDay. I like this !
Arnaud Benez It reminds me more of With Me by Sum 41.
It’s sound nothing like with me and barely like wake me up when September ends
There is a reason for this. It sounds similar because it is the same style of song (sad lyrics, acoustic guitar). When similar instruments are used in a song, it can make it sound similar to others. Listen more to the chords. You can train yourself to recognize an introduction to any song
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
...
Oh shit, it's not this one...
Chomik Green Day
Chomik HOW DARE YOU MISTAKE GREEN DAY FOR THE OFFSPRING!
Thats green day that song came out when my dad died.
i feel the same... i've cried when i've listened this song...
I love this song. It’s beautiful. It’s one of my favorite Offspring songs.❤️
Thats something that should be played for someone you have a crush on. At least thats what I think about this song :)
You bet it will. It's fantastic. This song is The Offspring. Green Day don't come anywhere near it. This is epic.
i love Dex's soaring voice here. i wish the one i love would sing the same tune for me.
thumbs up for my friend who led me back to good music. thanks mustafa.
The best song on the album. No doubt.
haha nice, I'm born in 89 too and I've been a fan since I know who they are (mid 90's), its been over 10 years now and they still kick ass much ass as they used too
this song is awesome! I listen to this whenever i feel depressed and it makes me happier.
I LOVE THE OFFSPRING 4EVER!!!
She sees a million stars like holes in the sky, all God's tears for her they cry, and I am in her rain..
Absolutely beautiful
When I listen to this I think of all of my friends one by one. I think of all the times that they've helped me get through tough times. I think about the friends who need my help. I can't help but shed a tear or two.
Never get tired of listening to this song.
this band has been the most influential band in my life, i grew up listening to americana, and hammerhead, bravo guys, i love this new cd it is one of their best. (smash was good too) lol
Facing facts, the offspring are old. They are. They may never top their previous albums. But if this their new sound, this kinda half punk half rock, mellowed down sound, i'm completely down for it :)
This is literally my favorite album by them.
VirgateSpy I second you dude. Their best work so far
thatXxFRESHxXguy eh...this song is from 8 years ago.
yeah but the new albums have this same kind of sound. And unless they pull a Fall Out Boy and COMPLETELY jump off the deep end into pop, i'm down with it.
+VirgateSpy Mine too.
since I was 5 years I listen these guys...and now its my favorite band!!!
I honestly love this song a lot. I love all of what The Offspring plays. I think the slow songs make up for the gap the hard songs create.
I'm about to cry...I'm a 14 year old guy...but this reminds me of the girl I love with everything I have in me...and how I saved her life....
+ULBGaming Tell us all about it here: www.reddit.com/r/im14andthisisdeep
+ULBGaming dude... I applaude you... happend the same to me...
+EightBitFox rekt
PunkInDrublic210 it’s kinda of a opposite situation for me because my gf 5 years ago at the time saved me from committing suicide
I want this song to be played at my funeral. :)
these kinds of songs remind me how awesome the offspring really are :)
I love the Offspring. theyre my favorite band, and I dont think they will ever not be my favorite band.
Ive heard all of thier songs and have all of thier albums...what can I say, I love them :)
All of you people arguing should just relax and listen to the music...That is what music is for after all, listening, not debate.
They´re awesome in almost every new song they make! Thanx for sharing!
Love their new album, as i love all the previous. Rock and Hevy bands make the best ballads
OMG how do I keep coming across these songs from my faovrite bands that just fit my fing life so well.
I love this band I'm sooooo glad I got to see them live for their Conspiracy of One Tour
It was Awesome fuckin awesome and they keep making great music
I never get tired of listening to their music

Green day and Offspring, two brother group

yes i agree, this album has alot of good songs, and is pretty unique from other Offspring albums
Misses The Offsprings old days :(
this is like a mix of "Wake Me Up When September ends" and "Are We The Waiting"
this the best song of the new record !
thx
i just cant get enough of this song!!!!!
You can listen any music, there will be similarities!!!! it is a brilliant song and a brilliant album. Rock bands had, have, and going to have similarities!
I listened to this song 30 times today...
I got goosebumps....
This song is my favorite, I always listen to it when I'm down.
Tragic they are far from underrated. They have the attention and fame they deserve
Probably my favorite song of all time.
this song is beautiful ..
Hii
Still listening year 2022🤟
They're awesome in ALL song's that they make!
You know the feeling
I love it, can't stop listening to this one.
BEST.

Forgot about this song!! Wow!
Wow, I feel ashamed as a hardcore Offspring fan. I didn't give this album a chance for a while when it first came out and now I feel like a dick because it is absolutely amazing. I love it.
It's been a while since I've heard a good song that could make me cry about my current life ._. Ty offspring
Smashing album, besides the O.C life (which i found to be a bit mediocre) there is not a single track on R&F R&G that I dislike.
Still putting out such quality after such a long time... it's nothing short of commendable what these guys are doing. Much love, Offspring... much love..
broken wing...
empty glass...
words that scream & bounds right back...
she said: ''you know, we'd like to rearange...''
this song is simply.......awsome
It reminds me Green Day - Wake me up when september ends. The most at the begining. ( Forgive mistakes, i can't speak english well ).
most of what people say are the "saddest songs" i can not find sad at all....but this song truely is sad
dude this song is so awesome Offspring are Epic i just started listening to them :) nice work man
I wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you

I wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me
Ha la la la
A beaming sunrise buries the night
The setting sun destroys the light
Then she says, baby, I've gotta get going
Cutting each other
Without even knowing
She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All God's tears for her they cry
And I am in her rain
hermosa canción...
Impresionante que hagan canciones como want you bad y también de este tipo y lo mejor es que son muy buenas
Cool song. It took a while to grow on me and seemed out of place amongst vintage Offspring style songs like Half Truism and Hammerhead, but I find it pretty listenable now. The Snow Patrol comparison is accurate.
Published on my birthday humm. I dig it
This reminds me of a very close friend.
such a beautiful song!
i luv this song no matter wat
What do the opening notes of this song sound like?
none of my friends like Offspring :( I'm the only one and I'm bloody obsessed.
This song hits heavy,
my boyfriend just told me too look up this song cuz hes obsessed with hem! and i looooove them im completly addicted after hearing this!!
beautiful!!!!!!!
