Appearances

Overview

"Up in the Clouds" was originally demoed in consideration for what would eventually become Weezer's ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End. The song evolved gradually out of the song "East Coast or West Coast" (which was originally conceived as early as 2006). Several iterations of demos were released as part of the digital compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years on November 21, 2020.

"Up in the Clouds" was among dozens of songs submitted by Cuomo to producer Klas Åhlund in 2023 in consideration for Weezer's planned twentieth album,[1] though the song was ultimately cut from consideration.

Lyrics

Up in the Clouds (ver. 32)

Every atom will pass away
There's really nothing that I can say
I am becoming the ether over the Earth
So tell me, what should I do with you?
I need someone I can listen to
Somebody who can remind me what I'm worth

Hey, everybody
Can you tell me which of y'all got it going on?
My head is up in a cloud today
I'm really sorry
Can you tell me which of y'all got it going on?
My head is up in a cloud today

I'm getting lost in the stratosphere
While everybody is drinking beer
And asking me to spill blood on the dotted line
The person that I thought would rescue me
Turns out was always betraying me
So you can stay at your party and have a good time
Lookin' out on the turbulence
Letting go is my greatest strength
Giving up and dissolving in the night

Hey, everybody
Can you tell me which of y'all got it going on?
My head is up in a cloud today
I'm really sorry
Can you tell me which of y'all got it going on?
My head is up in a cloud today

I thought that you were a perfect fit
But everything good must come to an end
I held on until I thought my heart would break

Hey, everybody,
Can you tell me which of y'all got it going on?
My head is up in a cloud today
I'm really sorry
Can you tell me which of y'all got it going on?
My head is up in a cloud today
