The Chase - Future Islands

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

I 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, 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

In folding sands, our castle no more

The magic of sleight-of-hand

Is this love or the love of the chase?

I had you once

(Is this love?) You kept forgetting my name

Is this love or the love of the chase?

What was your name?

(Is this love?) Was it something like me, me, me?

We recede in the fog

As to breathe in this calm

And forget this walk

To leave you and all

We were more than the fall

I hope you’d agree

Like sunlight through the fog

Always chasing me

Little bluebell in shade

What was your name?

Was it something like me?

Little bluebell in shade

What was your name?

Was it something like me, me, me?

Now, is it love or the love of the chase?

Is it love?

Is it love or the love of the chase?

Is this love?
