King
Weezer / live Lyrics

You walk by the magazines
As you browse through the magazines at the CVS, you come across one more celebrity divorce.

Sitting on the rack at the CVS
The magazines are kept on the shelves at a pharmacy store called CVS.

One more sad movie star divorce
The magazine brings to your notice that another movie star has divorced, which is disheartening.

Three hundred died in an airplane wreck
The magazine also reported that 300 people died in an airplane crash, which is tragic.

And you think of all the people suffering
The news in the magazines makes you think about all the people around the world who are suffering.

And you bury that pain
You try to bury your pain and suffering deep inside yourself.

But you can tell me everything
But, you can share your worries and difficulties with me.

And we'll ride on that wave
Together, we will face whatever difficulties come our way.

If I was king of the world
Probably in a fantasy world, if I were the leader of the whole world,

You'd be my girl
you would be the most important person in my life.

You wouldn't have to shed one single tear
You would never have to experience any pain or sadness.

Unless you wanted to
However, if you wanted to cry, I would be there to comfort you.

'Cause yeah I know what it's like
Because I know how it feels to be in pain or distressed.

Yeah, girl
I understand what you are going through, my dear.

We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos
We could take a bus trip to the Galapagos Island.

And stay for the rest of our lives
We could live together on this island for the rest of our lives.

Dad hit you on the hand
Your dad punished you for holding your chopsticks the wrong way.

Just for holding your chopsticks wrong
Being punished for holding chopsticks the wrong may seem trivial but it still upsets you.

Then your Mom locked you in a shed
Your mother punished you by locking you in a shed.

And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
The reference to Uncle Sam dropping an atom bomb could be in the context of the history of the two atomic bombings of Japan during World War II.

But you're not alone
Although you have gone through tough situations, you are not alone in this.

You can let it go
You can let go of the pain and trauma by sharing it with someone you trust, perhaps me.

And just weep on my breast
You can lean on me and cry your heart out.

And cover me with your tenderness
You can show me affection and love, and we can support each other.

And that pain will pass
Talking about your grief and finding the support will help you in recovering from your painful past.

We are the small fish
In the vast ocean of life, we are but small insignificant creatures.

We swim together
Despite our insignificance, we move forward and swim through life by supporting each other.

No Prozac or Valium
We don't need antidepressant medication to get through life together.

We'll face tsunamis together
We will face life's difficult challenges together, just as we would face destructive tsunamis.
