The first day that it was released that Ben had started his new band I rushed over to their site and listened to every song. This one ended up being my favorite. It is just so happy, and seems rather carefree. I understand that I'm probably seeing this wrong, and differently than everyone else though. The lines "Did you see who just pushed that shopping cart?
It kinda looked like it moved all by itself
I think I just saw someone pull in; thought you should know
Maybe we should go"
seem to convey a sort of just teenage fun, where you are just hanging around in the parking lot, pushing carts around and trying to avoid getting thrown out by the mall cops.
Later it talks about blowing up your cellphone, which again, just just stupid teenage antics, in my opinion.
Next, the chorus, to me, is just what is says, and I take it for face value: a couple of teenagers drinking and making out in some empty parking lot, and dancing around.
Well, even if you guys see this song much differently, the upbeat sound makes everyone want to go and dance under the street lights themselves!
