"The Chase" lyrics

I take my licks like a man
Facing forward
I made my bed
It wasn't yours
How soon we'd forget what we shared
You said you'd always be mine
I nodded and smiled
Tongue out of my head

Is this love or the love of the chase?
Is this love?
Is this love or the love of the chase?
Tell me, is it love?

We did the best that we can
Across the world, we made a plan
It wasn't yours
How soon we'd forget what we shared
In folding sands, our castle no more
The magic of sleight-of-hand

Is this love or the love of the chase?
I had you once
(Is this love?) You kept forgetting my name
Is this love or the love of the chase?
What was your name?
(Is this love?) Was it something like me, me, me?

We recede in the fog
As to breathe in this calm
And forget this walk
To leave you and all
We were more than the fall
I hope you'd agree
Like sunlight through the fog
Always chasing me
Little bluebell in shade
What was your name?
Was it something like me?
Little bluebell in shade
What was your name?
Was it something like me, me, me?

Now, is it love or the love of the chase?
Is it love?
Is it love or the love of the chase?
Is this love?
