Chasing Cars
Casanovas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

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 bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

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 bursting 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

If I lay here
If I just lay here

Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Overall Meaning

The song "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol was a massive hit, and Casanovas decided to cover it in their own unique style. The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation and can be perceived in many different ways. However, some people believe that it is a declaration of love and an appeal to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and just enjoy the moment with your loved one. The opening verse sets the tone for a desire to be self-sufficient and to avoid the need for external support.

The chorus amplifies the theme of being lost in the moment and enjoying the company of the person you love. The idea of "chasing cars" implies that the characters are chasing something that may be unattainable or unnecessary. The chorus is an invitation to forget about time and obligations and instead spend that time pursuing personal happiness. The bridge has a poignant message, as it states that one person's 'grace' is needed for the other to stay grounded, thus acknowledging that relationships require support, care and mutual understanding.

Overall, the song is a plea to shut out the world and its distractions and just revel in each moment with the one you love.
