Overview
"Fontana" was, according to the Catalog O' Riffs, written by Rivers Cuomo around May of 2002. Weezer recorded demos of the song during sessions for the band's planned fifth album immediately following the recording sessions for Maladroit (and before that album had even been released). None of the songs from these sessions would be released, however, and the album would not be released until 2005, in the form of Make Believe.

Lyrics
Weakened knee joints,
Stomach flutters
Shaking elbows
Still demand
That I ask you
For an answer
To the question
Here at hand
Why did he reach out to you just now,
Touch your hand and say goodbye?
You can hear him
Breathin’ heavy
With a sound so
Physical
In his blue jeans
He’s bow-legged
And he’s stupid
Like a bull
Why did he reach out to you just now,
Touch your hand and say goodbye?
How’s a man supposed to stand up so tall
When he feels that he could die?
Can you hear him?
