Chasing Light

You were a couple of years older
And oh, it gave me such a thrill
You spent your days reading difficult books
With your head on the windowsill

Then you'd picked me up in your green hatchback
With it's clunky break and funny smell
You'd play the same song over and over
To prove that you knew me well (you knew me well)

My mum and dad were pretty worried
But they had nothing to fear

Cause we'd just drive
Yeah, we'd just drive
Chasing light
We were simply chasing light

You were a man of sophistication
With your cheap cigarettes, and cheaper cologne
Our eyes were starting to open
And see who we really were (we really were)

All my friends were pretty jealous
They said we wouldn't last the year
My mum and dad were pretty worried
But they had nothing to fear

Cause we'd just drive
Yeah, we'd just drive
Chasing light
We were simply chasing light

You drove your car down to the ocean
And parked her facing out to sea
Nearby they found you gently swinging
In the breeze

Did you drive?
Did you drive?
Chasing light
You were simply chasing light
