The Chase

I take my licks like a man

Facing forward, I made my bed

It wasn't yours

How soon we'd forget what we shared

You said you'd always be mine

And nodded and smiled

Tongue out of my head

Is this love?

Or the love of the chase?

Is this love?

Is this love?

Or the love of the chase?

Tell me now, is it love?

We did the best that we can

Across the world, we made a plan

It wasn't yours

How soon we'd forget what we shared

And folding sands

Our castle, no more

A magic sleight of hand

Is this love?

Or the love of the chase?

I had you once, you kept forgetting my name

Is this love?

Or the love of the chase?

Was it something like me?

Me?

We recede in the fog

And to breathe in this calm

And forget this walk

To leave, you and all

We were more than the fall

And I hope you agree

Sunlight through the fog

Always chasing me

Little bluebell in the shade

What was your name?

Was it something like me?

Little bluebell in the shade

What was your name?

Was it something like me?

Me?

Me?

Oh, is it love?

Or the love of the chase?

Is it love?

Is it love?

Or the love of the chase?

Is this love?
