I agree with the other interpretations saying that 'weeze' was ruining the band or throwing rivers off but then once she was gone then he was doing good again. I think he wasn't wearing his glasses because maybe he was wearing contacts? OR because he was showing that he wasn't this big role model guy, he was just a nerd or a regular guy, no gel, no glasses.

I heard an interview with Rivers on the radio. He said he was at a bar one day and saw a girl he really wanted to approach but was shy or something. He got upset with himself for it, and apparently went home and wrote Perfect Situation.

Those who posted earlier are forgetting that songs aren't usually made while thinking of the music video that will follow, so the music video doesn't have to completely relate to the song, at least no in the way it was originally intended and written.

Arrrghh....again...people thinking a video has to be a direct interpretation of a song.

By that logic "Keep Fishin" is a song about muppets, and "Buddy Holly" is a song about Happy Days. and "Island in the Sun is about animals or mexican weddings, depending upon wich video you watch.

Weezer videos typically never have anything to do with the song lyrics...so it's dunny that almost every post above is trying to fit the video to the song.

One guy above had it right. The song is about wanting to approch someone romantically, but losing the nerve and thus the chance to ever meet that person... Then beating yourself up about it.

Geezze.. The video is not related with what the song means. But it's a good video though. I believe the song is about a man messing up on his relationship. He has everything, he knows how to keep her but it's just that he lacks doing what he is suppose to do resulting for his girl to wander. It's messing up everything.
