The Chase
Xuitcasecity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My nights all end alone
My chances come and go
I'm up late scrollin' though my phone
This girl fucked with my psyche
My friends all say she liked me
But then she walks right by me so cold
But I finally got my chance now
And I don't want to blow it
Got me thinking 'bout my move now
Yeah, you got me approachin'
And I started off anxious
But that all went away now
No, I can't believe the words that
I had said when they came out

Gotta be like, ay
Why don't you come over my way?
Wanna come back to my place?
Put my hands around your waist
I'm like, ay
Gotta take a leap of faith
Never thought that I would change (oh, no)

Now I'm addicted to the chase

I don't recall that (recall that)
She wanna claim that, she walked past me (walk past me)
I prolly saw you out the corner, yeah
Of my eye, I ignored you, yeah
Now she comin' for my confidence (confidence)
She walked away that's my consequence (what, what?)
Slow it down take it easy
Girl, you know that you need me
I took a leap so believe me (so believe me)
Don't you ever lie or deceive me (or deceive me)
I gave you my trust now you owe me
I love the chase, ran away from the old me
Drive in the whip, yeah, the crib we approachin'

I make mistakes in the way that I open
Our conversation, the deal, yeah, I closed it

Gotta be like, ay
Why don't you come over my way?
Wanna come back to my place?
Put my hands around your waist
I'm like, ay
Gotta take a leap of faith




Never thought that I would change (oh, no)
Now I'm addicted to the chase
