G5 D/A B5/F# C5/G
The world has turned and left me here,
G5 D/A B5/F# C5/G
just where I was before you appeared.
G5 D/A B5/F# C5/G
And in your place an empty space
G5 D/A B5/F# C5/G
has filled the void behind my face.

This is the best Weezer song lyrically, and probably my third-favorite musically (first and second being Only in Dreams and Say It Ain't So). Anyway, yeah.... hehe, great self-pity song, gotta have some of those. "The world has turned and left me here / Just where I was before you appeared". The entire Blue Album was musical genius, though.

This is my favorite song, everything is right here from the music to the lyrics...I have no idea why, but it makes me think of fall. I feel the need to wear sweaters and admire the foilage....not really, but maybe its because fall is always one of those "transitional" periods, and theres always someone you miss, because you go to different universities, different jobs, etc.

just an awesome song.... no other way to describe it. Easily my favorite Weezer song. I think it's about how a guy is just sitting around, realizing how he's lost the girl he loves... and now he's trying to cope with it by trying to relive all the memories that he's experienced with it.

But at least the green album boosted Rivers's confidence and brought him out of hiding!!!

Rivers said that No One Else is: "The jealous, obsessive asshole in me freaking out my girlfriend." and The World has Turned and Left me here is: "The same asshole wondering why she's gone."
