Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
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?
