The Chase

Four hundred dollars for a basement apartment in midtown two thousand one I was young and in love on the doorstep of twenty one dancing to the beat of her drum Didn't drink or get high I just chain smoked whatever brand of cigarettes she would buy She did both so I'd drive to the parties where her hair dresser friends chased their Xanax with wine We used to hate what we'd become Stuck in a place we're running from Was always the Chase that led us back to each other's arms were both to blame Go on and tell all your friends about me You said you'd love me for the rest of my life Tell your mama she was wrong about me nothings changed Don't waste your time Cuz I ain't no safe bet but you ain't met no long shot you didn't like I'll be sure you never need to doubt me And learn to take what comes in stride We used to hate what we'd become Stuck in a place we're running from Was always the Chase that led us back to each other's arms were both to blame I remember the road stretched out for miles and miles between us Come crashing down the ground gave way beneath us Put one foot behind the other walking backwards till you're right back where you started from We used to hate what we'd become Stuck in a place we're running from Was always the Chase that led us back to each other's arms were both to blame We're both to blame"
