Headlights
Chasing Light: A Heart's Tale in Robin Schulz's Melody
Lyrics
Oh, I know why you chasing all the headlights
The person understands why you are pursuing the allure of city life.
Oh, 'cause you always tryna get ahead of light
Explaining that the pursuit is driven by a desire to be ahead or in control.
Baby when you go
Addressing the departure of someone (the listener or another) with a sense of anticipation.
You know I'll be waiting on the other side
Expressing a commitment to wait for the person on the other side of their journey.
And I'm always cold
Describing a perpetual emotional distance or coldness.
But if you stay then I could keep you warm at night
Suggesting that staying together could provide warmth during the night.
Don't be a fool for the city nights
Advising against being naive or foolish during city nights.
I know it's cool but it's only light
Recognizing the appeal of city life but emphasizing its temporary nature.
Baby with you I can never lie
Claiming honesty and sincerity in the relationship.
Don't go chasing all the headlights
Reiterating the warning against pursuing the distractions of city life.
Oh, I could feel the beating of your heartache drum
Sensing and acknowledging the emotional pain or distress of the other person.
Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you have gone
Expressing uncertainty about the reality of the situation, whether it's a dream or if the person has truly left.
Every time you go
Referring to the emotional impact felt every time the person departs.
Hits me like a bullet from a broken gun
Comparing the emotional impact to being hit by a bullet from a malfunctioning gun.
Yeah I know it's cold
Acknowledging emotional coldness again, with a potential solution if the person stays.
But if you stay then Then I could give you all my love
Offering to give all of one's love if the person chooses to stay.
Oh, and don't be a fool for the city nights
Repeating the advice not to be fooled by the attractiveness of city nights.
I know it's cool but it's only light
Reiterating the temporary and superficial nature of the city lights.
Baby with you I can never lie
Affirming honesty in the relationship once again.
So don't go chasing all the headlights
Restating the warning against chasing distractions represented by headlights.
ooh, ooh, ooh
Repeating vocalizations, possibly for emotional emphasis or musical effect.
ooh, ooh, ooh
-ooh, ooh, ooh
-ooh, ooh, ooh
-Oh and don't be a fool for the city lights
Recycling the advice against being naive in the context of city lights.
I know it's cool but it's only light
Reiterating the transient and illusory nature of city lights.
Baby with you I can never lie
Affirming once more the commitment to honesty in the relationship.
So don't go chasing all the headlights
Final warning against pursuing the fleeting and distracting allure of headlights.
