Overview

Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo has suggested that "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" may be related to the song that precedes it on "The Blue Album," "No One Else." Cuomo stated that "No One Else" is about "the jealous-obsessive asshole in me freaking out on my girlfriend," while "'The World Has Turned and Left Me Here' is the same asshole wondering why she's gone." This is likely mere coincidence, given that "No One Else" was written several months or possibly over a year after "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here". The song had not been performed live by the band since the Pinkerton Tour until it was resurrected to be played as a part of the Memories tour.

<lyrics>The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face

I just made love with your sweet memory One thousand times in my head You said you loved it more than ever You said

You remain, turned away Turning further every day

The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face

I talked for hours to your wallet photograph And you just listened You laughed enchanted by my intellect Or maybe you didn't

You remain, turned away Turning further every day

The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face

You remain, turned away Turning further every day

The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face

(Backup: Do you believe what I sing now? x3) The world has turned and left me here Just where I was before you appeared And in your place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face

Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe what I sing now? Do you believe?</lyrics>
