The Chase

[Verse 1] You call me when it’s late You say you “just wanted to check” But you don’t ask my day You ask what’s left to break You love the spark The part that runs away The closer I lean in The faster you change lanes [Pre-Chorus] So tell me straight No pretty frame Do you want my heart Or just my name? Do you stay for me When I don’t pull back? That’s the line That tells you that [Chorus] Is it me, or the chase? (Or the chase) Do you want my face Or the thing you can’t replace? Is it love, or a game? (Or a game) When you win, do you stay Or just fade away? [Verse 2] I watch your eyes When I say what I need You get so quiet Like that cost you the deed You light up at distance You cool off in reach That kind of hunger Don’t call it belief I’m not a prize You can keep on your shelf I need a hand on my truth Not a hand on yourself [Pre-Chorus] So tell me straight No pretty frame Do you want my heart Or just my name? Do you stay for me When I don’t pull back? That’s the line That tells you that [Chorus] Is it me, or the chase? (Or the chase) Do you want my face Or the thing you can’t replace? Is it love, or a game? (Or a game) When you win, do you stay Or just fade away? [Bridge] If I stop reaching Does your fire die? If I stop folding Do you still try? I need a real yes Not a victory lap Someone who sees me And can live with that [Final Chorus] Is it me, or the chase? (Or the chase) Do you want my face Or the thing you can’t replace? Is it love, or a game? (Or a game) When you win, do you stay Or just fade away? Is it me, or the chase? (Or the chase) If you want the real thing Then meet me in that place
