chasing cars 

"Chasing Cars" is the third single from the UK band Snow Patrol's fourth album entitled Eyes Open. It was released on July 24, 2006 in the UK

The phrase "Chasing Cars" came from Gary Lightbody's father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
to remind me
to find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Chasing cars 

If you're trying to get with someone way above your level of attractiveness...like way way way way way above your level of attractiveness.

A.) You'll never catch one.
B.) You wouldn't know what to do with one if you caught it, which you won't.

Just let her go, bro.
Let her go
I've been trying to get with Denza for the past couple of weeks...then I realised that I'm just chasing cars.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
