Every Car You Chase
Party Ben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
Oh can't you see, you belong to me
How my poor heart aches
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...
I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They're not enough
Oh can't you see, you belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take (Let's waste time)
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day (Chasing cars)
Every word you say
Every game you play
I'll be watching you
Every night you stay
Every move you make (I need your grace)
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every single day (To remind me)
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every game you play
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
The lyrics to Party Ben's song Every Car You Chase are a mash-up of two popular songs - Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and Every Breath You Take by The Police. The first verse and chorus are taken from Chasing Cars while the rest of the song is inspired by Every Breath You Take. The song is essentially about longing for someone and wanting to forget the world when you're with them. The first two lines of the chorus, "If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" capture this feeling perfectly.
The line "Oh can't you see, you belong to me" from Every Breath You Take is also included, adding to the sense of longing and possessiveness. This is further emphasized by the lines "How my poor heart aches with every step you take" which are a direct reference to the original song. The verses are about missing someone dearly and feeling lost without them. The lines "Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace, I dream at night I can only see your face, I look around but it's you I can't replace" are particularly poignant and demonstrate the depth of the singer's feelings.
The song is a clever combination of two well-known songs and manages to capture the essence of both. It is a beautiful and emotional tribute to the power of love and longing. The overall effect is melancholic and evocative, making it a perfect track for a romantic night under the stars or a slow dance with someone special.
