We Can Win Missouri!
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mailed them to your mother
Got high with your brother
Ran into your dad.
Found your pictures
Mailed them to your mother
Got high with your brother
I watch you, you're ?
All you do is call your friends.
The lyrics of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's song We Can Win Missouri! depict how the singer stumbles across various members of their ex-partner's family after their break-up. They found some pictures and decided to mail them to the mother of their ex-partner, which implies the singer wants to maintain a connection with their ex-partner's family despite the breakup. The lyrics also suggest that the singer still spends time with the ex-partner's brother and got high with him. The lyrics indicate that the singer has not moved on yet, and their mind is still preoccupied with thoughts of their ex-partner.
Furthermore, the reference to Missouri in the title of the song highlights the importance of this place for the singer or their ex-partner. It could signify a place where they had shared memories. The last line of the song "I watch you, you're ? All you do is call your friends" implies that the singer is observing their ex-partner from afar, and perhaps, the ex-partner may have moved on and does not think about the singer much.
