Plastic Souvenirs
Chasing Distractions: Plastic Souvenirs Unveiled
Lyrics
We hung around our old home town and waited
We spent time in our hometown and waited.
Got married to a Grecian billionaire
Imagining being married to a wealthy person from Greece.
We need to drink a litre of distraction
We require a significant amount of distraction.
We need to buy a plastic souvenir
We feel the need to purchase a meaningless memento.
And when I woke up you were lying with me
Upon waking up, you were beside me.
Got half a mile for every cigarette
For every cigarette smoked, there's only a half-mile covered.
Don't you hang up on me, don't you hang up, don't you hang up on me my friend
Urging someone not to end the call abruptly.
Don't you hang up on me, don't you hang up, don't you hang up on me again
Repeated urging for the person not to hang up the call.
I wrote it down so that I would remember
I documented something to ensure I don't forget.
That I am you and you are someone else
Realizing a connection between oneself and someone else.
I swear to god that you are going to miss me
Expressing certainty that the person will miss me.
I swear to god that I'll miss you as well
Expressing mutual feelings of missing each other.
Don't you hang up on me, don't you hang up, don't you hang up on me my friend
Reiterating the plea not to end the call suddenly.
Don't you hang up on me, don't you hang up, don't you hang up on me again
Continuing to stress not to abruptly end the call.
Because you might need somebody, need somebody
Indicating that the person might need someone's help in the future.
And I'm not gonna be there
Declaring the absence when that person might need help.
