King
Weezer feat. Garret 'Jacknife' Lee Lyrics

You walk by the magazines
You casually observe magazines placed on the CVS rack

Sitting on the rack at the CVS
The magazines are casually presented on the rack at CVS

One more sad movie star divorce
Another celebrity couple has ended their marriage in a sorrowful manner

Three hundred died in an airplane wreck
A large number of people lost their lives in an aviation accident

And you think of all the people suffering
You empathize with countless individuals who are in distress

And you bury that pain
You suppress that feeling of anguish in your heart

But you can tell me everything
You feel comfortable enough to confide in me entirely

And we'll ride on that wave
Together, we'll traverse the tumultuous tides of life

If I was king of the world
In a hypothetical scenario where I had dominion over the planet

You'd be my girl
You'd be my significant other

You wouldn't have to shed one single tear
You wouldn't have to cry even once

Unless you wanted to
You're free to express your emotions if you feel the need to

'Cause yeah I know what it's like
Because I understand the sentiment behind it

We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos
We can board a Greyhound bus and travel to the Galapagos Islands

And stay for the rest of our lives
We could reside there until the end of our days

Dad hit you on the hand
Your father struck your hand

Just for holding your chopsticks wrong
As punishment for not using chopsticks correctly

Then your Mom locked you in a shed
Your mother confined you in a shed

And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
Additionally, the government carried out a nuclear attack

But you're not alone
You're not isolated in your sorrow

You can let it go
You have the power to relinquish the feeling of pain

And just weep on my breast
You can sob on my chest as a consolation

And cover me with your tenderness
Show me affection and compassion as well

And that pain will pass
Eventually, the ache will dissipate

We are the small fish
We're insignificant beings

We swim together
We move in unison

No Prozac or Valium
We don't rely on medication to alleviate our stress, anxiety or depression

We'll face tsunamis together
We'll confront the symbolic tsunamis in our lives and overcome them jointly
