Of the song, AWOLNATION vocalist Aaron Bruno said on the website Genius.com [1]:
I’ve loved Rivers and Weezer since I was 15. We met in Canada at a festival, stayed friends for several years, and worked on a few things together. Nothing ever came of it, but when I had this song, it just screamed Rivers, so I asked him if he would join me on it and he did. I’m so proud to have his name on this record.

Lyrics
I wonder why these tears came uninvited to me
I wonder if I told you, would I find some relief
I feel like such a stranger from my head to my feet
My silver screen, my misery, my love, my defeat
Pacific coast highway in the movies
You promised me sunshine; why's it gloomy?
We'll wait 'til the night to catch the moonbeam
Pacific coast highway in the movies
I swear my shadow knocked me straight to the floor
I'm seein' stars, I promise I will trust you no more
My skin and bones betray me, how the hell should I think?
My silver screen, my misery, my love, my deceit
Pacific coast highway in the movies
You promised me sunshine; why's it gloomy?
We'll wait 'til the night to catch the moonbeam
Pacific coast highway in the movies
I slept inside of a chandelier last night
I'm always lookin' for the bright side of life
I'm lonely, I'm confused, and I'm glad that you're here
Give me shiny things to stop my tears
Pacific coast highway in the movies
You promised me sunshine; why's it gloomy?
We'll wait 'til the night to catch the moonbeam
Pacific coast highway in the movies
Oh God, I think I'm beyond, la la la la la
Do you belong? La la la la la
'Cause I am beyond, la la la la la
