Chasing Light

You were a couple of years older And oh, it gave me such a thrill You spent your days reading difficult books With your head on the windowsill Then you'd picked me up in your green hatchback With it's clunky break and funny smell You'd play the same song over and over To prove that you knew me well (you knew me well) My mum and dad were pretty worried But they had nothing to fear Cause we'd just drive Yeah, we'd just drive Chasing light We were simply chasing light You were a man of sophistication With your cheap cigarettes, and cheaper cologne Our eyes were starting to open And see who we really were (we really were) All my friends were pretty jealous They said we wouldn't last the year My mum and dad were pretty worried But they had nothing to fear Cause we'd just drive Yeah, we'd just drive Chasing light We were simply chasing light You drove your car down to the ocean And parked her facing out to sea Nearby they found you gently swinging In the breeze Did you drive? Did you drive? Chasing light You were simply chasing light
