    LYRICS
    Hey Suzy, where you been today?
    I'm looking for you every way
    No sign of you when I wake up
    I'm on an island with no sun
    I feel like I've known you my whole life
    You got my crying like when Aslan died
    Now you're gone…
    The melody can't find you
    I'm incomplete without you
    I guess we've reached the end of the game
    Ooo-oo hit me
    I know that you would crank this song
    Air-guitaring with your headphones on
    We dig the same type of melodies
    The ones to get you next to me
    I was Mick and you were Marianne
    You would harmonize when I felt bad
    But now you're gone…
    The melody can't find you
    I'm incomplete without you
    I guess we've reached the end of the game
    Ooo-oo hit me
    Am I your go-to, or am I uncool
    With all of these extremes that I go to
    All I want is to be wanted by you
    All I want is to be wanted by you
    The melody can't find you
    I'm incomplete without you
    I guess we've reached the end of the game
    Ooo-oo hit me

    This song sounds like the intro was written by Van Halen circa 1987 and then it transitions into a Fountains of Wayne song from 2002...I love everything about this

    “You got me crying like when Aslan died.” Why am I so amused by this? It starts off with this guy thinking of this girl and then out of the blue you get this Narnia reference and then like the reference never happened, it’s back to the girl. The best part of it all is how effortlessly the reference flows along with the song. Thank you Weezer for throwing in that reference and doing it so gracefully, I appreciate it very much.

      Classic Weezer! Nerdy pop culture reference balanced with heart wrenching angst, yet somehow not cloying not overpowering, by one of the first and one of the best. That's the weeziest lines that ever weezed in a Weezer song.
