♥ S P E E C H L E S S - Io non so dire che cosa sento. ... ogni volta quando tu canti, mi lasci senza fiato... Oh Norman, tu sei davvero bravo! Tu mi piaci da morire :) this's one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard! Why "Chasing Cars"? What I think, what does it mean?
You know, sometimes love is like a dog chasing a car. The more you run, as the car moves away more and more. You'll never get it, and you wouldn't know what to do if you had reached it . "But still, maybe, it makes sense". I think he's saying that he's so in love with her, but perhaps he knows they aren't meant to be together. He knows he will never have her in his life, and even if he did, it wouldn't bring him complete happiness anyway. He knows in the back of his mind that it is a hopeless dream, but his passion is so overwhelming that he can't help but tell her he loves her. Two people who love each other, but because of their situation, they will never truly be together. He just wants her to "lie" there with HIM, and "For That Moment" they can just forget about the world and be happy.
This song expresses how powerful and simple love really is. If you are in love, you don't need anyone or anything except the person that you share the purity with. It is like a bright light, drowning out everything around us. It is so beautiful we are drawn to it but sometimes afraid to let the light shine on us. Everyone of us interprets love differently only knowing what we are taught and many times we will go our entire lives never experiencing it because we never really take the time to feel it. We never know when we will meet our soul mate or what we will have going on in our lives at the time, but to take the chance and make changes takes a great amount of trust and emotion. A garden of new life blooms, each flower delicate and precious we need to appreciate each one for what it is. To express to someone that you love them opens us up our inner self. How do you put into words how you feel about that other person?
Sometimes it is suiting to lay there and share the moment, leaving everything that we know behind us. Being in the presence of our true love confirms our desire and need to live our life to its fullest. No matter how much we think of ourselves, this person can bring us right back to the reality of what we are. Chasing cars simplifies the complications of life, we all have things that we strive for maybe to never get them, but to share in the chase together unites two minds as one sharing the same goal.
The main idea/meaning of the song is firstly he loves someone but saying "those three words are said too much they're not enough" reflects on how saying I love you can't describe even how much he truly loves them. After that part it's saying that he wants that person to be with him and escape this world made by society and just go to their own world that exists for themselves. Also saying "show me a garden that's bursting into life" meaning to show him a life that's full of love and that grows into something beautiful and unique just like flowers. The chorus is asking if the person will be with him forever. Also later on near the ending before the last chorus it means that even though he doesn't know what's going to happen he knows that his love for them will never change. :)



We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say

HOW I FEEL

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
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?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
