Chasing Cars
Sara Ramirez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
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?
The lyrics of Chasing Cars by Sara Ramirez, Chandra Wilson, and Kevin McKidd express the desire to forget everything around them and just be present with each other. The repetition of "If I lay here, If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" invokes a sense of longing for a connection that is pure and uninterrupted. The song speaks about needing someone's grace to find their own and suggests a mutual dependence on each other. The lyrics "all that I am, all that I ever was is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see" paint a picture of complete vulnerability and the willingness to give yourself completely to the person you love.
Furthermore, the song "Chasing Cars" is not about cars at all. The phrase "chasing cars" was something lead singer Gary Lightbody heard his father say once, and he liked how it sounded. The song was inspired by the end of a long-term relationship Lightbody was going through, but the lyrics are intentionally ambiguous to allow listeners to apply them to their own experiences. The song's simple yet powerful melody and lyrics made it a hit upon its release, earning it the record for the longest run in the UK Top 100 Chart at 166 weeks. It is a popular choice for television and movie soundtracks, including the medical drama Grey's Anatomy, where it was featured in a pivotal season 2 moment.
Line by Line Meaning
We'll do it all
We will achieve everything
Everything
Every single thing
On our own
Without any external assistance
We don't need
We are self-sufficient
Anything
No material possessions
Or anyone
No other people
If I lay here
If I stay still in this place
If I just lay here
If I just remain in this state
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Would you join me and ignore everything else?
I don't quite know
I am uncertain
How to say
How to articulate
How I feel
My innermost emotions
Those three words
The expression of 'I love you'
Are said too much
The phrase is overused
They're not enough
It doesn't do justice to the depth of my feelings
Forget what we're told
Ignore what they tell us
Before we get too old
Before we grow aged
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Reveal a thriving and vivid garden
Let's waste time
Let's spend time idly
Chasing cars
Running after vehicles
Around our heads
Circling in our minds
I need your grace
I require your kindness
To remind me
To refresh my memory
To find my own
To discover my own way
All that I am
My whole identity
All that I ever was
The entirety of my past self
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I can only see myself through your eyes
I don't know where
I am unsure of my whereabout
Confused about how as well
I don't know about the process as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
I am certain that we will always remain the same
If I lay here
If I stay still in this place
If I just lay here
If I just remain in this state
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Would you join me and ignore everything else?

Nós faremos tudo isto
Tudo
Sozinhos
Nós não precisamos
De nada
Ou de ninguém
Se eu deitar aqui
Se eu apenas deitar aqui
Você deitaria comigo e esqueceria do mundo?
Eu não sei direito
Como dizer
Como me sinto
Aquelas três palavras
são ditas demais
Elas não são o suficiente
Se eu deitar aqui
Se eu apenas deitar aqui
Você deitaria comigo e esqueceria do mundo?
Esqueça o que foi dito
Antes de ficarmos muito velhos
Mostre-me um jardim que esta se abrindo para a vida
Vamos passar o tempo
Perseguindo carros
Em volta de nossas cabeças
Eu preciso de sua graça
Para me lembrar
De encontrar a minha
Se eu deitar aqui
Se eu apenas deitar aqui
Você deitaria comigo e esqueceria do mundo?
Esquecer do que nos falam
Antes de ficarmos muito velhos
Mostre-me um jardim que esta se abrindo para a vida
Tudo que eu sou
Tudo que eu sempre fui
Esta aqui em seus olhos perfeitos, eles são tudo o que eu consigo ver
Eu não sei onde
também estou confuso sobre o "como"
Apenas sei que estas coisas nunca mudarão para nós
Se eu deitar aqui
Se eu apenas deitar aqui
Você deitaria comigo e esqueceria do mundo?

Nós faremos tudo isto sozinhos
Nós não precisamos de nada ou de ninguém
Se eu deitasse aqui, se eu apenas deitasse aqui
Você deitaria comigo
E esqueceria do mundo?
Eu não sei bem como dizer como me sinto
Aquelas três palavras são ditas demais
Elas não são o suficiente
Se eu deitasse aqui, se eu apenas me deitasse aqui
Você deitaria comigo
E apenas esqueceria do mundo?
Esqueça o que nos foi dito
Antes de nos tornarmos muito velhos
Mostre-me um jardim
Que esteja ganhando vida
Vamos perder o tempo perseguindo carros
Em volta de nossas cabeças
Eu preciso de sua graça
Para me lembrar, para encontrar a minha própria
Se eu deitasse aqui, se eu apenas deitasse aqui
Você deitaria comigo
E apenas esqueceria do mundo?
Esqueça o que nos foi dito
Antes de nos tornarmos muito velhos
Mostre-me um jardim
Que esteja ganhando vida
Tudo que eu sou, tudo o que eu sempre fui
Está aqui em seus olhos perfeitos
Eles são tudo o que eu vejo, eu não sei aonde
Confuso sobre como também
Apenas sei que essas coisas nunca irão
Mudar para nós de jeito nenhum
Se eu deitasse aqui, se eu apenas deitasse aqui
Você deitaria comigo
E apenas esqueceria do mundo?

This was so beautiful - had no idea that the Grey's Anatomy cast had hidden such vocally talented voices. Kevin's voice is exceptional. And you are all right - GA will never be the same without Derek. I'm still screaming, "Shondra, you've lost mind".
@jacklavancha9659
+Rachel Q he did not want to do greys anatomy any more
@lebronfederic1682
Derek left the show, Shondra didn't fired Derek
