A música Chasing Cars da banda Snow Patrol fala sobre um amor puro e o desejo de aproveitar momentos simples com alguém especial, longe das complicações da vida. Foi inspirada por uma noite que o vocalista Gary Lightbody passou com alguém que ele amava e a coisificação da ideia de não precisar de nada ou ninguém além da presença um do outro. Ele a chamou de a música mais pura e aberta que já escreveu.
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.
