Chasing Cars

Written by Gary Lightbody
Performed by Snow Patrol (2006)


We'll do it all, everything, on our own
We don't need anything or anyone

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

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

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
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
I just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

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

Very intimist, almost private. Mischievous and suggestive too. ;)

It's one of most fave songs too... Wonderfully done, Ray. Love the light and most importantly love your smile. It's great to see you this way, keep smiling and yes let's just forget the world! :-) Voted.

You're jumping out of the screen here. The contentment on your face, the expression of mischief and play is palpable. Congratulations, Ray, what a mesmerizing SP! I love the graceful expression of peaceful wellbeing.
