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 interview with Weezer - January 1997|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.‘"
