==Overview==
The song's existence first became known to fans in 2019 when its title appeared in a list of notes written by an A&R assistant about various songs demoed in contention for the album that would eventually become Everything Will Be Alright in the End.
On May 22, 2020, Cuomo hosted an Island in the Zoom video conference with screenwriter Yalun Tu as the special guest, wherein Tu explained that he and Cuomo were working on a pitch for a TV series in which Cuomo would play a fictionalized version of himself, who performs with Weezer and lives as a family man while also secretly being an alien from outer space.stupidsuck1010.

Several demos of "Simple to Me" were added to the digital compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years on November 22, 2020, though some of these (specifically the ones based around the "martian" conceit) were removed by Cuomo shortly thereafter.

Catching a flick on a Saturday night
We taking the town on our tandem bike
Getting back home and then making some toast
I'm in a beater, you're in pantyhose
We're doing the dishes with our rubber gloves
Our hands don't get wrinkled no matter how much we scrub
This is the dream that I wanna be living
And so baby
I'm gonna be your mister
You gonna be my misses
That doesn't sound too fucked up to me
I'm gonna be your hipster
You gonna be my hipstress
That doesn't sound too fucked up to me
Girl you make it
Come so simple
It's simple to me
When you shake it
Two-thirds naked
It's simple to me
Cozy at home, we munch 'til we're full
Getting hooked on General Hospital
Having a kid, watching her grow up
I got a spare tire and you got a butt
But we'll never break up even if we tiff
We made a commitment and we'll stick with it
Some people don't take things serious enough
And so baby
I'm gonna be your mister
You gonna be my misses
That doesn't sound too fucked up to me
I'm gonna be your hipster
You gonna be my hipstress
That doesn't sound too fucked up to me
Girl you make it
Come so simple
It's simple to me
When you shake it
Two-thirds naked
It's simple to me
It's simple to me
It's simple to me
I'm gonna be your mister
You gonna be my misses
That doesn't sound too fucked up to me
I'm gonna be your hipster
You gonna be my hipstress
That doesn't sound too fucked up to me
Girl you make it
Come so simple
It's simple to me
When you shake it
Two-thirds naked
It's simple to me
It's simple to me

Cruising around
On a star and a sound
I'm kissing the clouds
As I fall to the ground
I didn't know
What would be waiting for me
But I found you out here in all the blue and the green
I'm gonna be your martian
You're gonna be my human
That doesn't sound too far out to me, yeah
I'm gonna be your Starman
You're gonna be my woman
That doesn't sound too far out to me
Brushing my teeth
And you're combing your hair
Who cares if the stars are exploding out there
I've done it all
I saw what there is to see
And now it's just us,
You are my whole galaxy, yeah
I'm gonna be your martian
You're gonna be my human
That doesn't sound too far out to me, yeah
I'm gonna be your Starman
You're gonna be my woman
That doesn't sound too far out to me, yeah
Oh you make it look so simple
It's not simple to me
I found this place while lost in space
It's not simple to me</tabber>
