The band's debut album,Young Chasers, was released on March 30, 2015 on the Virgin EMI label and was produced by Dan Grech. Harriet Gibsone in the Guardian described the album as having "traces of We Are Scientists, the Kooks, the Libertines and Razorlight". It features the title track from their 2014 Young Chasers EP, as well as the singles "T-Shirt Weather" and "Fossils".
The band's second album, Different Creatures, was released on March 10, 2017, on the Virgin EMI label and was produced by Alan Moulder and Kieran Shudall. After releasing three different singles ("Wake Up", "Fire That Burns" and "Stuck"), the band came up with a deeper and more mature composition that keeps the first album's energy adding more meaningful lyrics and unusual instruments like violins and cellos.
On 5 April 2019 the band released their third studio album titled, What's It Like Over There?, to critical success. It was supported by the singles, "Times Won't Change Me", "Movies", and "The Way We Say Goodbye". The album earned critical acclaim for its mix of indie and pop rock, as well as the experimentation by the band. It peaked at Number 10 on the UK Albums Chart.
On 19 November 2019 the band released the single "Jacqueline" via BBC Radio 1. The single was accompanied by the announcement of their fourth studio album Sad Happy. The album was released in two parts, with the 'Happy' side released in January 2020 and the 'Sad' side followed in March 2020. According to the band, the double album concept "represents two sides of this tech-saturated, highly insecure age".

Circa Waves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Either side of the fence I'm trying to stop this
Don't go too far
Make your mind up
And I'll chase you through the streets
The chase will wind up
I got blood on the soles of my feet
Wooh
Wooh
So I was young for only a heartbeat
We'll bite our tongues and sleep on the concrete
Don't waste my time
Make your mind up
And I'll chase you through the streets
The chase will wind up
I got blood on the soles of my feet
Wooh
Wooh
In the song "Young Chasers" by Circa Waves, there is a sense of urgency and desperation in the lyrics. The singer is trying to pursue someone, but they are not necessarily a good match for each other. The line "Not a match, have sex, not much of a problem" suggests that they are physically attracted to each other, but there is not much else holding them together. The singer is aware of this and is trying to prevent the situation from going too far.
The repeated lines "Make your mind up / And I'll chase you through the streets / The chase will wind up / I got blood on the soles of my feet" highlight the pursuit and the physical toll it is taking on the singer. They are willing to do whatever it takes to chase after this person, but they need a clear answer from them first. The second verse adds to the urgency as the singer describes how fleeting youth can be and that they don't want to waste any time. There is a sense of reckless abandon as they "bite [their] tongues and sleep on the concrete" just to be close to this person.
Overall, "Young Chasers" is a fast-paced and intense song about pursuing someone you know may not be the best fit for you. The lyrics suggest a willingness to take risks and a desire to not waste any time when it comes to love.

Couldn't find the right lyrics anywhere so:
Not a match, have sex, not much of a problem.
We'll hold tight, lose touch I'm trying to stop them.
Don't go too far...
Make your mind up, and I'll chase you through the streets.
Is this a wind up? I got blood on the soles of my feet.
So what? We're young for only a heartbeat.
We'll bite our tongues and sleep on the concrete.
Don't waste my time...
Make your mind up, and I'll chase you through the streets.
Is this a wind up? I got blood on the soles of my feet.

Not much of assets, not much of a problem
We're both standing still outside of the fence
Don't go too far
Make your mind up
And I'll chase you through the seats
The chase will wind up
I got blood on the soles of my feet
So I was young for only a heartbeat
We'll bite our tongues and sleep on the concrete
Don't waste my time
Make your mind up
And i'll chase you through the seats
The chase will wind up
I got blood on the soles of my feet
