Future Islands - The Chase 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 I nodded and smiled Tongue out of my head [Chorus 1] 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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? [Bridge] 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 Li'l bluebell in shade What was your name? Was it something like me? Li'l bluebell in shade What was your name? Was it something like me, me, me? [Chorus 3] 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?
