The Chase
Future Islands
I take my licks -- like a man
Facing forward
I made my bed, it wasn't yours
How soon we'd forget -- what we shared
You said you'd always be mine
I nodded and smiled
Tongue out of my head
Is this love?
Or the love of the chase?
Is this love?
Tell me now, is it love?
We did the best that we can
Across the world
We made a plan, it wasn't yours
How soon we'd forget -- what we shared
In folding sands
Our castle, no more
The magic -- sleight of hand
Is this love?
Or the love of the chase?
I had you once, you kept forgetting my name
Is this love?
Or the love of the chase?
What was your name?
Was it something like me?
We recede in the fog
As to breathe in this calm
And forget this walk
To leave, you and all
We were more than the fall
I hope you'd agree
Like sunlight through the fog
Always chasing me
Lil bluebell in shade -- what was your name?
Was it something like me?
Lil bluebell in shade
What was your name?
Was it something like me?
