The Chase
Basixx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it′s a new beginning
Maybe it's a start or where it ends
I know, I know
It comes down to all or nothing
This time is for real, we can′t pretend
You know, you know
They're closing in, and I don't wanna miss a shot
Adrenaline, so give it everything that you got
Don′t stop, ah-ah

In your eyes
I see a fire lighting up as we′re getting away
There's no going back, and I′m loving the chase, ah-ah
Where you go, I follow
We're not giving up, never hitting the brakes
There′s no going back, and I'm loving, yeah, I′m loving the chase
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh
We're not giving up, never hitting the brakes
There's no going back, and I′m loving, yeah, I′m loving the chase

I can hear my every heartbeat
I can feel the blood rush through my veins
You know, you know
Somewhere in the distance, the sun's coming up
Everything is blurry, the trees flashing by
My side, my side
Far ahead, the horizon never seemed so close
The sky is red, we′re not out the woods, don't you know?
Don′t stop, ah-ah

In your eyes
I see a fire lighting up as we're getting away
There′s no going back, and I'm loving the chase, ah-ah
Where you go, I follow
We're not giving up, never hitting the brakes
There′s no going back, and I′m loving, yeah, I'm loving the chase

In your eyes
I see a fire lighting up as we′re getting away
There's no going back, and I′m loving the chase, ah-ah
Where you go, I follow
We're not giving up, never hitting the brakes
There′s no going back, and I'm loving, yeah, I'm loving the chase
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh




We′re not giving up, never hitting the brakes
There′s no going back, and I'm loving, yeah, I′m loving the chase

@adpothesis5047

Seriously one of the best synthwave songs I've ever heard

@Masmix77

Pls, u should stop

@better_dayz_

true I can't live without this song anymore :3

@usmanrulezzz

How is this song not known or famous? Just don't understand! Great music...reminds me of the old days! You guys rock and deserve real recognition! Much respect

@hectordelarocha10

Because music gets famous when the Publishers pay a lot of money to be played everywhere, rare exceptions like Chainsmokers are... rare?

@JGSMusic

Because it takes thousands of dollars to make a song famous. How good the song is has nothing to do with it.

@JGSMusic

​@Hector De la Rocha My point exactly

@usmanrulezzz

@@JGSMusic not true. Most people just listen to commercial shit because they don't have a mind that is under their control!

@JGSMusic

@Usman Salim Lol nah man that is a myth. How do you think commercial songs become commercial?? Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent for that to happen
