About This Track

'Vacation' by Simple Plan is a 2002 pop track from the album 'No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls (15th Anniversary Tour Edition)'. The lyrics centre on a woman with a relentless obsession, calling and returning even after being told to leave. The tone is breathless and repetitive, capturing the way fixation can override any sense of closure. There is a sense of the relationship turning into a cycle of waiting and interruption, sharpened by the detail of showing up early. The song’s hook is the insistence that she “won’t let go”.

"Vacation" is a single by Simple Plan, from the album No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls (15th Anniversary Tour Edition), released 19th March 2002. The track is 2:31 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Simple Plan.

Lyrics

Vacation

I know a girl who's obsessed with a guy
She talks for hours and still tomorrow
She'll call again and when he thinks that this could be the end
She calls again

At six in the morning, she waits to the door
He tells her to leave but still tomorrow
She'll be there again
She won't let go

Can't you just go somewhere on vacation?
I could book your flight
And pack your bags
If you want
A one way ticket out of my life
Watching you fly away
I never liked you

She doesn't care if he tries to ignore
He runs away but still she follows
She'll try again
She likes to think she'll get him in the end, yeah

Can't you just go somewhere on vacation?
I could book your flight
And pack your bags
If you want
A one way ticket out of my life
Watching you fly away
I never liked you
I never wanted you
I never liked you
I never wanted you, whoa

Can't you just go somewhere on vacation?
I could book your flight
And pack your bags
If you want
A one way ticket out of my life
Watching you fly away
I never liked you
I never wanted you
I never liked you
I'm not in love with you
