Appearances
Overview
"Good Times" is a re-working of the demo "I'll Be with Someone Else", recorded in consideration for what would eventually become Weezer's ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End. The song would have its verse melody reused for the song "All This Love" in the SZNZ: Spring.
Lyrics
On the beach, fell asleep
As the sand burned our feet
It's a shame we didn't drink, we didn't smoke
So what 'cha wanna do today?
Throw our girls in the waves
Beat our chests as the cops let us go
Now we got those good times
Playboys in our pink ties
Mucking up the punchlines
Might not last forever
But now we got those
Good times
Blowing off the stop signs
Good that we can unwind
Might not last forever
But now we got good times
It's hard to know
What to do when you look like a fool
Hemingway spilled his brains on the street
Boost your testosterone
But get the hell off your phone
What's the point if you're not 23?
Now we got those good times
Playboys in our pink ties
Mucking up our punchlines
Might not last forever
But now we got those
Good times
Blowing off the stop signs
Good that we can unwind
Might not last forever
But now we got good times
Everyone should get a second chance
When they make the mistake of their life
But if you walk out and find someone
Tall and dark and kind of dumb
I can't guarantee that I'll be free
When you come crawling back to me someday
Good times
Playboys in our pink ties
Mucking up our punchlines
Might not last forever
But now we got those
Good times
Blowing off the stop signs
Good that we can unwind
Might not last forever
But now we got good times
Now we got good times
Now we got good times
