The Chase Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Is this love?
Or the love of the chase?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Or the love of the chase?
Tell me now, is it love?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
Is this lover?
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, me, me?
[Bridge]
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
And 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, me, me?
[Chorus 3]
Now, is it love?
Or the love of the chase?
Is it love?
Is it love?
Or the love of the chase?
Is this love?

What did Future Islands say about "The Chase"?
WC: Yeah so we had February off this year and we just took that time to write a couple of new songs. So we came out with The Chase and with Haunted By You. We have a couple of other ideas from those sessions that at this point are just kind of laying there untouched but we’re definitely going to rev...
