Chasing birds is a pointless pursuit because the feathered creatures just fly away, leaving the chaser stranded on the ground. Here, a doleful Dave Grohl reflects on the futile search for a long-lasting relationship.
Some critics have compared the delicate, pretty ballad to the songwriting of Paul...
[Verse 1]
Chasing birds to get high
My head is in the clouds
Chasing birds to get by
I'm never comin' down
My heart is six feet underground
[Chorus]
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Dark inventions of mine
The road to Hell is paved with broken parts
Bleeding hearts like mine
[Verse 2]
Chasing birds through the sky
And deep into the black
Chasing birds, say goodbye
I'm never comin' back
Here comes another heart attack
[Chorus]
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Dark inventions of mine
The road to Hell is paved with broken parts
Bleeding hearts like mine
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Chasing birds to get high
I'm never comin' down
My heart is six feet underground
[Chorus]
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Dark inventions of mine
The road to Hell is paved with broken parts
Bleeding hearts like mine
[Outro]
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
Chasing birds
