This song has great imagery. Not many lyricists can make buying a hot dog sound romantic. The part about riding on a motorbike reminds me of Death Cab's song "brothers on a hotel bed" from the Plans album. it goes something like: "On the back of a motorbike, with your arms outstreched, trying to take flight, leaving everything behind. But even at our swiftest speed, we couldn't break from the concrete" Not just because of the word Motorbike, but because of the whole idea of trying to escape.
