Sofi Tukker 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?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
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?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
The lyrics of Sofi Tukker's "Chasing Cars" evoke a sense of simplicity, intimacy, and escapism. The opening lines, "We'll do it all, Everything, On our own," suggest a desire for self-sufficiency and independence, while also hinting at a shared experience or journey. The repetition of "We don't need, Anything, Or anyone" reinforces this idea of self-reliance and the power of being together with someone special.
The chorus, "If I lay here, If I just lay here, Would you lie with me and just forget the world?" speaks to a longing for connection and intimacy, a desire to escape from the pressures and constraints of the outside world. It's a plea for a moment of solace and togetherness, where the two individuals can simply be present with each other and let go of everything else.
The imagery of a garden bursting into life symbolizes renewal and growth, a contrast to the mundanity and routine of everyday life. It represents a desire for something vibrant and alive, a metaphor for the beauty and vitality that can blossom in a relationship when nurtured and cherished.
The verses that follow continue to explore themes of love, vulnerability, and the fear of change. The lines "Let's waste time, Chasing cars, Around our heads" suggest a whimsical pursuit of the fleeting moments and simple pleasures in life, highlighting the importance of being present and enjoying the beauty of the moment. The song ultimately conveys a sense of yearning for connection, understanding, and the timeless simplicity of love that transcends the noise and chaos of the world.

We'll do it all
We will experience everything
Everything
All aspects of life
On our own
Independently
We don't need
We are self-sufficient
Anything
Any external support
Or anyone
We can handle it alone
If I lay here
If I stay here without moving
If I just lay here
If I simply remain still
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Will you join me in ignoring everything else around us?
Forget what we're told
Ignore societal expectations
Before we get too old
Before we lose the chance
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Reveal a place full of vibrancy and growth
I don't quite know
I'm uncertain
How to say
How to express
How I feel
My inner emotions
Those three words
The phrase 'I love you'
Are said too much
Have lost their impact through overuse
They're not enough
They fail to fully convey my feelings
Let's waste time
Let's spend leisurely moments
Chasing cars
Pursuing fleeting pleasures
Around our heads
Within our thoughts
I need your grace
I require your kindness
To remind me
To prompt me
To find my own
To discover my true path
All that I am
Every part of me
All that I ever was
My entire history
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I find my essence reflected in your eyes
I don't know where
I lack clarity on my direction
Confused about how as well
Uncertain about the method
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
Understand that our connection is everlasting

You are red as lame
I knew but when you are seperated from your tear stains
To put up with my mistakes
You must take the restet showels
To rest my sholders
Tommaro should be another morning
Goes with the windows
George is being so nice"
Quite a lovely night
Baby she is oskin' white.

Chasing Cars is a song we both bonded over. It depicts that state of being intimate with someone, of forgetting the whole world exists, when you're together. The lyrics couldn't be more perfect. The two opening notes are iconic. We still can't believe we even dared to touch it... it's such a masterpiece already. We hope it pulls at the heartstrings of people who once listened to this song the way we did, and maybe it'll introduce some people to the song altogether, in which case... you're welcome ; ) We feel lucky to have been able to have fun with it. Thank you Snow Patrol for writing one of our favorite songs ever. And thank you Triple J for featuring our Chasing Cars performance on Like A Version!! 💜
