The Chase
Too Close To Touch feat. Kellin Quinn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thought of what could be, disintegrates and gets the best of me
And I know we both know how, these types of things always go down
But if I could find you know, we could remember what it's like to feel
And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
Maybe find the time between the lines between the lines
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, Don't let me fall, out of your hands.
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, out of your hands
Well I won't let you.
The mind breaks down, the delicate design
Of where we've been, and what we've left behind
And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
Maybe find the time between the lines between the lines
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, Don't let me fall, out of your hands.
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, out of your hands
Well I won't let you.
Give me a chance to make a move, whats left to lose
So much more that I want to prove- If i could get to you
A recurring dream, that stings into my memory.
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, Don't let me fall, out of your hands.
If you make me a part of your plan
Pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, out of your hands
Well I won't let you.
The lyrics to "The Chase" are about a recurring dream that haunts the singer, a missed opportunity with someone they care for deeply. The memories of what could have been disintegrate, and the singer is left with a feeling of regret. The singer knows that these types of situations usually end in disappointment or heartbreak, but they still long for the chance to reconnect with the person they lost.
The chorus is a plea to this person to not let them fall out of their hands. The singer wants to be a part of their plan and is asking them to pick them up even just one time. They are willing to take things slower this time around and want to find the time between the lines. The bridge of the song talks about the mind breaking down the delicate design of what has been left behind, a nod to the fragility of the past and the hope to move forward.
Overall, the lyrics are poetic and show a deep yearning for something that has been lost. The message is relatable to anyone who has experienced a missed opportunity, regret, or the hope for a second chance.

A recurring dream that stings into my memory
I keep having the same dream that hurts me every time I remember it
A thought of what could be, disintegrates and gets the best of me
The possibilities that once excited me now make me feel defeated
And I know we both know how, these types of things always go down
We've been through this before, and we know how it usually ends
But if I could find you know, we could remember what it's like to feel
If we could reconnect, maybe we could recapture the feelings we used to have
And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
We need to take it easy this time, and not rush into things
Maybe find the time between the lines between the lines
We need to pay attention to the subtle details, and not miss anything important
If you make me a part of your plan
If you involve me in your life
Pick me up just one time
Help me out once
Don't let me fall, Don't let me fall, out of your hands.
Don't let me go, keep holding onto me
Well I won't let you.
I'll do my best to hold onto you too
The mind breaks down, the delicate design
Our minds can't handle the complexity of what's happening
Of where we've been, and what we've left behind
We need to think about our past experiences and what we've learned from them
Give me a chance to make a move, whats left to lose
Let me take a risk, because we don't have much to lose
So much more that I want to prove- If i could get to you
I have so much I want to show you, if only I could reach you

Kellin will always be the Elvis of our lifetime. It's disappointing that there are people missing out on him. Truly missing out.

Keaton and Kellin sound great together. It would be awesome for both bands to tour together (I can only hope)
@viccenzogaio7443
Emarosa instrumental + Hands like houses + their stuff. Great album
@Icemanbacon
Oh shit yeah. Kellin's verse from "Once upon a time in mexico." That's the song that had me following these guys from the beginning.
