Lyrics
The dog-eared Disprin, in your handbag
The worn-out Disprin in your handbag
A gathering of crumbs and, twenty fags
A collection of crumbs and twenty cigarettes
I'd steal some chewing gum, a few stray coins
I would take some chewing gum and a few scattered coins
I'm sure you noticed but didn't much mind
You probably noticed but didn't pay much attention
Haaah
Expressive sound, possibly a sigh or exhale
And so it goes
Describing the continuation of a situation
Haaah
Expressive sound, similar to line 6
Here I am, in the condiment aisle
The speaker is in a supermarket aisle for condiments
I'm worried about my basil from Israel and new world wine
Concerns about basil from Israel and choosing a new world wine
I need to lose these poses, reset my charms
The need to discard artificial poses and regain authenticity
To when I left the factory in your arms
Reflecting on a past moment when leaving a place with someone
Singing haaah
Expressive sounds, possibly singing or vocalizing
Haaoh
Similar to line 15, expressive sound
And so it goes
Describing the continuation of a situation
But the words on the page start to swim
The words on the page become unclear or confusing
As light catches your face you're smiling
Seeing the person's smiling face as light catches it
This must be what all the fuss is about
Realizing the significance of the moment and the joy it brings
Haaoh
Expressive sounds, possibly singing or vocalizing
Haaoh
Similar to lines 15 and 16, expressive sound
Haaoh
Similar to lines 15, 16, and 24, expressive sound
You're trying to talk to me, all grateful and smiles
The person is trying to communicate with gratitude and smiles
I'm glued to the TV giving one word replies
The speaker is distracted by the TV, responding with one-word replies
It's small and shameful it's a poor show
Feeling small and ashamed, considering it a poor display
Beat myself up on the way home and go crying to my girl
Self-criticism and seeking comfort from a significant other
And so it goes
Describing the continuation of a situation
Yeah so it goes
Emphasizing the acceptance of the ongoing situation
Yeah so it goes
Reiterating the acceptance of the situation
But the words on the page start to swim
The words on the page become unclear or confusing
As light catches your face you're smiling
Seeing the person's smiling face as light catches it (repeated)
This must be what all the fuss is about X2
Realizing the significance of the moment and the joy it brings (repeated)
