[Mark Hoppus:]
A bottle for breakfast, trying to let go
Remember your voice, but it’s only an echo (Only an echo)
I still got your makeup here on my pillow
And I’m seeing ghosts outside of my window
[Matt Skiba:]
It was just one time, one time
Started turning into two times a few times
Ain’t been sober in a long time, a long time
Yeah, you used to be all mine, all mine
[Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus:]
It feels like last night you came over
Now I wake up and you’re nowhere
I’ve got my head hungover you
I guess I’m still hungover you
[Mark Hoppus:]
I was so wasted, I couldn’t see you
Didn’t seem like a choice, no, I’d never leave you (Never leave you)
Nights that we stayed up, days that we sleep through
I can still see your face outside of my window
[Matt Skiba:]
It was just one time, one time
Started turning into two times a few times
Ain’t been sober in a long time, a long time
Yeah, you used to be all mine, all mine
[Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus:]
It feels like last night you came over
Now I wake up and you’re nowhere
I’ve got my head hungover you
I guess I’m still hungover you
I’ve got my head hungover you
I guess I’m still hungover you
[Matt Skiba:]
A bottle for breakfast, trying to let go
Remember your voice, but it’s only an echo
[Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus:]
It feels like last night you came over
Now I wake up and you’re nowhere
I’ve got my head hungover you
I guess I’m still hungover you
It feels like last night (Last night)
You came over (You came over)
Now I wake up (Now I wake up)
And you’re nowhere (And you’re nowhere)
I’ve got my head hungover you (Head hungover you)
I guess I’m still hungover you (Still hungover you)
I’ve got my head hungover you
I guess I’m still hungover you
Reflections of Heartbreak and Regret

The song’s repetitive chorus reinforces the sense of being stuck in a cycle, unable to move on. The interplay between Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba’s vocals adds depth, mirroring the confusion and longing that follow a fractured relationship. Ultimately, “Hungover You” is a poignant reflection on how love can leave a lasting mark, haunting every waking moment.
