Feels Like Summer

"Feels Like Summer" is a single by Weezer from Pacific Daydream that was released on March 16, 2017.
==Overview==
On March 13, 2017, a short clip of the song was posted to the band's Youtube page along with a release date. The full song leaked on March 14 on the Russian social network VKontakte. A video was released at midnight on March 16th to coincide with the single's release. Along with the release of the single was the announcement of a new album that was to be released in the summer. The song ended up on Pacific Daydream, the band's next album. The track was intended to be released on the planned followup to The White Album, Weezer (The Black Album), but when that album was delayed, it was put on Pacific Daydream. 
On June 29, 2017, an acoustic version of the single was released. On July 27, 2017, an alternate video for the song was released, parodying the video for Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City."
The line "let me see the smile" used in the outro is one that holds relevance to Rivers and his childhood. As he told Alternative Press in 1997, "I know I was a very somber child. I would never smile. In the second grade my teacher asked my mother what was wrong with me because I never looked happy. So my mother advised her to say, ‘Let me see the smile,’ and then I would smile. So she did that –in front of the whole class. She got the whole class to turn around, look at me and say, ‘Let me see the smile.‘"

==Lyrics==
Climbing up the tower 
Just a boy and his computer 
I’m still in my bathrobe 
Hiding in the shadows 
I’m not used to losing 
Bye, bye, sugar blue eyes 
You’re home with the angels 
Thank you for being so kind 
I’m holding on and I don’t want to let you go
Yeah it feels like summer 
Yeah it feels like summer to me 
Yeah it feels like summer 
Yeah it feels like summer 
When she was a lover to me, to me, to me, to me 
Which way is the graveyard? 
I’m an iceberg with a warm heart 
I'm spiritual, not religious 
I'm a Libra, if it matters 
Shattered by an email 
Your words will fade away 
Castle built in the sand 
Will only last one day 
I’m holding on and I don’t want to let you go
Yeah it feels like summer 
Yeah it feels like summer to me 
Yeah it feels like summer 
Yeah it feels like summer 
When she was a lover to me 
June bride, shine so bright 
Flowers in her hair, but it just ain’t right 
June bride, shine so bright 
Flowers in her hair, we look good together 
We look good together 
Yeah it feels like summer 
Yeah it feels like summer 
When she was a lover to me 
Let me see the smile, stay with me awhile 
I cried for you, you were the song in my life 
Let me see the smile, stay with me awhile 
I cry for you, you were the song in my life
