    Lyrics:
    They've stolen all the words
    All I have to give
    (Was this it?)
    Believed in all my lies
    Under my good cane (cocaine maybe)
    (It's my skin)
    Your shepherd there I was
    Decided just to give it all
    (Instead of)
    Days where you don't end
    At night we become friends, again
    And I lost my way again
    (This is, this is a chance)
    And I hope you'll never change
    This life is on my side
    And I am your one
    Believe me this is your chance, oh
    Surrounded there I was
    Decided just to give it all
    (For you, girl)
    And days like you don't end
    At night we become friends, again
    And I lost my way again
    (This is, this is the chance)
    And I hope you'll never change
    This life is on my side
    'Cause I am your one
    (This is, this is for you)
    And I lost my way again

    I actually liked the Red Album quite a bit (including the bonus songs in the deluxe edition) and Make Believe was interesting, but their latest offerings are not listenable... I think the hardest thing to overcome for Weezer was they connected so emotionally on their early stuff, and changed as they aged (as we all do). Eventually it seems like all bands have to create songs based on generalities, and it becomes less personal (except for a few, like maybe Bruce Springsteen).
