Chasing Light Lyrics

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
