chasing cars 

"Chasing Cars" is the third single from the UK band Snow Patrol's fourth album entitled Eyes Open. It was released on July 24, 2006 in the UK

The phrase "Chasing Cars" came from Gary Lightbody's father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
to remind me
to find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
