If I lay here,
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
~ Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Short, yet meaningful. Snow Patrol's song "Chasing Cars" is probably one of the most romantic songs I know. And by beautiful, I mean it in the way that it holds a lot of less than cheerful elements.
You see, the narrator hints A LOT at his doubt (Those three words/Are said too much/They're not enough) and is stuck in a way that he cannot communicate his inner feelings. And honestly, I think that's one of our biggest problems as humans. We aren't very good at communicating how we feel - we think that our message will be taken at a level that's extremely superficial. His doubt is also shown in the chorus, where he wonders if his affections are mutual - I mean, it's pretty darn touching, he's hoping that his lover cares to the point that she would join him.
It's a nice song, really. Brief, but beautiful lyrics. And a nice surreal feel to the instrumentals. See if you can forget the world with this song.
