As the lads in Green Day age, their sharp edges grow softer. This song could be from Weezer or Fountains of Wayne, or even a late 1960s love song (without the Instagram mention). It's a brooding, gentle pop number, bemoaning a lost love. "Will you dedicate a song to me? / Do you want me to just go away / I just want to be your nobody / Is there any chance that I can stay?" It's a perfectly pleasant pop-rock song, but for those of us who discovered Green Day through Kerplunk in the early 1990s, it's hard not to wonder what those snotty, angsty lads would think of this glossy sweetness.
