 ==Overview==
 The lyrics to version 4 of "Almost Beautiful" likely reference the Sheraton Commander hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts, near where Cuomo attended Harvard. Similar lyrics appeared in the [[Weezer]] song "[[Sheraton Commander]]" from the EP ''[[SZNZ: Winter]]'' in [[2022]].
+"Almost Beautiful" was briefly in consideration by Cuomo for [[Weezer's twentieth album]].

+<poem>C'mon, let's take a chance and do something kinda schizo
+We don't have to be afraid to let things slip out of control
+We can give fate a turn at the wheel for once in our lives
+Even though we're used to bein' the ones putting shit in drive
+There's no more hurting me
+There's no more hurting you
+In this great society
+We're almost
+'Cause we're almost beautiful
+We're almost beautiful
+And when the moon is full
+We're almost, almost beautiful
+Give it up, give it up
+If you love the rain
+Give it up, give it up
+If you feel no pain
+'Cause we're almost beautiful
+We're almost, almost beautiful
+I know that way down deep inside you're as frightened as a mouse
+That is why you hurt my feelings last night; you were shutting me out
+You were the one always sending me inspirational quotes
+C'mon, let's do this thing; I'm tired of missing the boat
+There's no more hurting me
+There's no more hurting you
+In this great society
+We're almost
+'Cause we're almost beautiful
+We're almost beautiful
+And when the moon is full
+We're almost, almost beautiful
+Give it up, give it up
+If you love the rain
+Give it up, give it up
+If you feel no pain
+'Cause we're almost beautiful
+We're almost, almost beautiful
+Almost, almost beautiful
+Almost, almost beautiful
+'Cause we're almost beautiful
+We're almost beautiful
+And when the moon is full
+We're almost, almost beautiful
+Give it up, give it up
+If you love the rain
+Give it up, give it up
+If you feel no pain
+We're almost beautiful
+We're almost, almost beautiful</poem>
