Going to Pasalacqua Lyrics
[Verse]
Here we go again, infatuation touches me
Just when I thought that it would end
Oh, but then again it seems much more than that
But I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I toss and turn all night thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well, I throw away my past mistakes and contemplate my future
That's why I say, "What the hey?"
[Chorus]
Would it last forever, with you and I together
Hand and hand, we run away (Far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way, yeah (Far away)
[Verse]
Here we go again, infatuation touches me
Just when I thought that it would end
Oh, but then again it seems much more than that
But I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I toss and turn all night thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well, I throw away my past mistakes and contemplate my future
That's why I say, "What the hey?"
Here we go again, infatuation touches me
Just when I thought that it would end
Oh, but then again it seems much more than that
But I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I toss and turn all night thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
Well, I throw away my past mistakes and contemplate my future
That's why I say, "What the hey?"
[Chorus]
Would it last forever, with you and I together
Hand and hand, we run away (Far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way, yeah (Far away)

About
Genius Annotation
Typical of Green Day’s early music, “Going to Pasalacqua” expresses anxiety and longing for someone just out of reach. It is often regarded as the strongest track on Green Day’s debut studio album.
The origins of the song title are murky, but according to geekstinkbreath.net:
There is a common belief that Pasalacqua is/was a funeral home in Rodeo, CA. However, it is difficult to find confirmation or disproof of this unless you were a Rodeo resident at the time the song was written
