[Intro - sax, soft groove] [Verse 1] It's so easy to lose sight Of what you want, and what you need When you're chasing rabbits Where unintention meets Every hole looks like an answer Every trail feels like a sign But you look up from the chasing And you're lost, and out of time [Pre-Chorus] So how far down the burrow Do you go before you know This ain't the way, this ain't the way [Chorus - strings swell, close harmony] I keep chasing rabbits Through the tall grass of my mind Running after habits That I never meant to find Somewhere back where I started Is the thing I left behind I've been chasing rabbits Losing time [Verse 2] You start with one good reason Then you're three fields from the truth Chasing every season Chasing versions of your youth And the ground gives way beneath you Every warren's got a twist Funny how the chase can feel like living When you're only running from the miss [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus - strings swell, close harmony] [Bridge - stripped back, sax solo, meditative] Maybe the rabbit isn't real Maybe it's just the shape of what I feel When I'm scared to stand still Scared of what I'd have to feel [Final Chorus - bigger, full harmony, epic] So I'm done chasing rabbits Through the tall grass of my mind No more running after habits That I never meant to find Going back to where I started Gonna leave the chase behind Done chasing rabbits Taking my time [Outro - sax fades, bass lingers]
