Chasing Cars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
[Chorus]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
[Verse 2]
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
[Chorus]
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 burstin' into life
[Verse 3]
Let's waste time
Chasin' cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
[Chorus]
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 burstin' 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
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
[Outro]
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

What did Snow Patrol say about "Chasing Cars"?
Gary Lightbody, frontman of Snow Patrol said in a interview with Rolling Stone:
It’s the purest love song that I’ve ever written. There’s no knife-in-the-back twist. When I read these lyrics back, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s weird.’ All the other love songs I’ve written have a dark edge."
Where does the title come from?
The phrase `Catching Cars´ came from a remark Lightbody´s father once made about a girl Lightbody was infatuated with.
You’re like a dog chasing a car. You’ll never catch it and you just wouldn’t know what to do with it if you did."
How did "Chasing Cars" explode?
According to Gary Lightbody in 2013:
If ‘Run’ opened up some of Europe, the U.K. and America, kind of, it was “Chasing Cars” that knocked the doors down and also took the rest of the world with it as well.
And then the Season 2 finale of Grey’s Anatomy…I just OK-ed it, I didn’t know much about the...
