Chemicals
Chasing Moments: Surviving the Chemicals of Love
Lyrics
They say it’s done when it ‘s done but I run
Expressing the belief that completion is subjective, but the speaker is fleeing.
Still chasing that moment
Persistently pursuing a particular instant or experience.
I never felt that way about someone
Describing an intense emotion never felt before for someone.
Like my chest was wide open
Comparing the emotional vulnerability to an open chest.
Now I’m trying my best to survive
Struggling to survive while constantly reminded of the person.
But I see you in every sunrise
Associating the person with every sunrise, indicating a deep connection.
And my paper heart is on fire
Expressing emotional intensity with a metaphor of a burning "paper heart."
Yeah I’m coming
Confirming the speaker's arrival or approach.
I’m coming off your chemicals
Acknowledging the influence of the person's chemicals on the speaker.
Chemicals
Repetition of the influence of chemicals, emphasizing its impact.
I know it's only temporal
Recognizing the temporary nature of the experience.
Sensual
Describing the experience as sensual, appealing to the senses.
But I still got you
Despite the temporary nature, the person is still a part of the speaker.
In my blood
Metaphorically having the person in the speaker's blood.
In my body
Emphasizing the person's presence in the speaker's entire being.
And I know it’s bad
Acknowledging the perceived negativity of the situation.
But I want you back again
Expressing a desire to rekindle the relationship despite the challenges.
Oh ah eh ah
Repetition of the desire to have the person back, with a rhythmic refrain.
I want your body like
-Oh ah eh ah
-I want you back again
-Oh ah eh ah
-I want your body like
-Oh ah eh ah
-I want you back again
-I wonder if you’re with somebody else
Speculating if the person is involved with someone else.
Do you take her to our spot
Asking if the person visits places significant to their past relationship with someone new.
Was it easy to forgive yourself
Questioning if the person found it easy to forgive themselves for the past mistakes.
For messing it all up
Reflecting on the consequences of messing up the relationship.
I keep trying my best to survive
Continuing efforts to survive emotionally, haunted by the person.
But I see you in every twilight
Associating the person with every twilight, suggesting a romantic connection.
And my paper heart is on fire
Reiterating the intense emotional state with the metaphor of a burning "paper heart."
Yeah I’m coming
Confirming the speaker's imminent arrival or approach.
I’m coming off your chemicals
Repeating the influence of the person's chemicals on the speaker.
