The Chase

I said, «Hey, bartender, won’t you slide me a drink?
Y’know my head’s splittin' open and I don’t wanna think,
But there’s a girl that’s walkin' over and I’ve got to pretend that I’m clever.»
I turned and said, «Hey heartbreaker, won’t you give me a sign?
I’ve got my heart beatin' faster than a Hollywood line.
If you could wait a minute longer, I might be smitten forever.»
'Cause if your eyes start givin' your heart’s intentions away,
It might be harder to stay.
It might go wrong if you give it all away, 'cause I’m in it for the chase.
Hey hey, every night or every moment’s alright.
I managed a front porch confession that I had a good time,
But if I take a step further, tomorrow I’ll vanish forever.
'Cause if your eyes start givin' your heart’s intentions away,
It might be harder to stay.
It might go wrong if you give it all away, 'cause I’m in it for the chase.
'Cause if your eyes start givin' your heart’s intentions away,
It might be harder to stay.
It might go wrong if you give it all away, 'cause I’m in it for the chase.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
And I’m tired, but I’m not sleeping.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
