Purba's Mixtape

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

" We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone "

You're having a bad day ,

(okay , bad would be an understatement)

You just had the worst day of your life !

Nothing makes sense anymore.

" What am I even chasing ? "

You question yourself , silently scream it at the world ;

waiting for answers.

Answers,

that cease to exist.

So you do what you do best.

Close your eyes , crank up the volume ,

And get lost in the music ;

In the moment.

Enter Gary lightbody 's vocals :

" If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world? "

The year is 2006 ,

You are five and unstoppable.

Nobody can dictate what you're supposed to do ;

You carelessly dance to your own tunes ,

Oblivious.

Yes, oblivious

" I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough"

Oblivious of all that's happening with the world ,

Oblivious of the complexities no one warned you about.

" If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life "

At this very moment you feel alive ,

You are busy happily fussing away with that plastic doll.

(something prolly you're never gonna pick up again)

At this very moment you feel real ,

You are surrounded by the people you love ;

and who love you back ,

selflessly.

" Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own "

Don't get me wrong here ,

I'm not someone who clings onto the past for reassurance ;

I have a better life now .

But sometimes,

Just sometimes ,

When reality gets too hard to digest ,

I-

(music cuts through)

" If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life "

- let go of the reins ,

And rewind.

" All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all "

So you see,

that's my little secret.

" If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world ? "
