Please Let That Be You Lyrics
Lost out in the machine array
Lifeless, slow and cold
Alone at home
Alone too long
Walk around the complex
No visitors
No oxygen
Just me, no movement
(Chorus)
Please let that be you
Knocking on my door so loud
Just like you do
Bringing a message or two
You know you are my fave
And I love you
Empty, everything's technical
Sterile, and endless
Inside I malfunction
Observe and obsess
Please let that be you
Ringing my phone just like
I wish you would do
Calling with some good news
You are my fave and I love you (x2)
Stand by my side, always be true
You are my fave and I love you
I raise my right hand and swear it's true
You are my fave
You are my fave
You are my fave
Please let that be you
Singing my song so nice sounding like you do
Just humming along to your tune
You know you are my fave
and I love you.

First off, I never thought of it as an institution. But it obviously fits well.
The only parts that really stuck out to me when I first heard this was: "Please let that be you knocking on my door so loud just like you do." "Please let that be you ringing my phone right now like I wish you would do." "Please let that be you singing my song so nice souding like you do"
And to me, it seemed like typical start of a relationship. Where you're always sitting around at home secretly hoping that the person will call or show up to see you.
Back when Matt was with Weezer, they did a demo called Mrs. Young, which turned into this song. Some of the lyrics are different, instead of "You know you are..." it was "Jamie you are...". The song was apparently about a lawyer assigned to the band, Jamie Young when they were at Geffen Records.
it sounds like somebody locked up in some sort of institution...but with this side note of their soulmate or true love. maybe this person is stuck in this cold environment and just dreams of contact with something loving all the time...that's the best i can figure, but i loooove this song. i wish i could be a keyboard and make those sounds.
I just saw them last night and they played this. Wonderful.
you were there too? Awesome. Anyway, it does seem like a guy in an institution, or maybe a hospital. Wherever he is, every time someone knocks on his door or clls him, he's hoping it will be his special lady. I think we can all relate to that sometimes.
i heard this song somewhere and i finally figured out what it is!!
