The Chase
Christian Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a broken neon sign.
Once again I'm riding shotgun
To everything that's on my mind.
Just a bartender
To tell my troubles to.
I just haven't found a way
To say, I'm so in love with you.
see it on my face,
You left me with no choice
But to leave you for the chase...
I-35 in the pouring rain.
A leopard skin suitcase and a pocket o' change.
Last I heard she left for Dallas
So I'm checking every motel in sight.
This pick-up truck can't move fast enough, no,
We had our problems and times are tough.
I just can't believe you're leavin'
Over three words I couldn't say last night.
see it on my face,
You left me with no choice but
To leave you...
A little Tequila...
And a broken neon sign...
And just a bartender
to let you know what was on my mind,
Yeah,
He said you could hear it in his voice,
see it on his face,
You left him with no choice
But to leave you
with the chase.
The lyrics of Christian Kane's "The Chase" tell the story of a man who is struggling to come to terms with his feelings for someone he loves. He tells of how he seeks solace in a bar, where he confides in a bartender about his troubles. The man is in love with someone, but he is unable to find the right words to express it. He is forced to leave the object of his affection and embarks on a journey to find her, driving down the I-35 in the pouring rain. He is consumed with guilt and regret, and is desperate to reconcile with his love.
The song is a melancholic love ballad that speaks to the human need for emotional connection. The lyrics are simple and poignant, and are brought to life by Christian Kane's soulful voice. The song captures the essence of the struggle to express one's emotions, and the pain that comes with being unable to do so. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of communication in a relationship, and the consequences of not doing so.

A little bit of Bourbon
And a broken neon sign.
I'm at a bar drinking Bourbon, and I see a broken neon sign.
Once again I'm riding shotgun
To everything that's on my mind.
My mind is racing with thoughts, and I feel like I'm not in control of my own thoughts.
Just a bartender
To tell my troubles to.
I have no one else to talk to about my problems except the bartender.
I just haven't found a way
To say, I'm so in love with you.
I'm not sure how to tell you that I love you.
You could hear it in my voice,
see it on my face,
My voice and facial expressions would give away my feelings of love for you.
You left me with no choice
But to leave you for the chase...
Since I couldn't express my love for you, I felt like I had to leave you to chase what I truly desired.
I-35 in the pouring rain.
A leopard skin suitcase and a pocket o' change.
Last I heard she left for Dallas
So I'm checking every motel in sight.
I'm on a desperate search for the person I love, who left for Dallas with only a leopard skin suitcase and very little money.
This pick-up truck can't move fast enough, no,
We had our problems and times are tough.
I'm in a hurry to find my love, but I know we had relational difficulties and life is hard right now.
I just can't believe you're leavin'
Over three words I couldn't say last night.
I'm shocked that you're leaving me just because I couldn't say "I love you" last night.
A little Tequila...
And a broken neon sign...
I'm at the bar drowning my sorrows with Tequila, and the neon sign is still broken.
And just a bartender
to let you know what was on my mind,
The bartender is my only outlet to express my feelings.
Yeah,
He said you could hear it in his voice,
see it on his face,
The bartender empathizes with me and sees the love I'm trying to express.
You left him with no choice
But to leave you
with the chase.
Because I couldn't articulate my feelings to you, I felt like I had to leave you and chase after what I truly desire.
