"Chasing Spirits" lyrics
Are my love songs lies now that the love is gone?
There's the one about forever
And loving you in a past life or whatever
The difference between us
Is when I sing it, I really mean it
But I guess I wasn't listening
'Cause you always had the same questions
You've been chasing spirits
And staying up all night
You said if you don't rein it in
You're shaving ten years off your life
I tried to come to you, but you didn't like the way I asked
But there's nothing in L.A. for me
Just a lonely singer at the beach
I could start a garden with the landlord
Something good and simple
And worth staying in town for
I was pulling cards while you jumped the cattle guard
They say lovin's hard
You've been chasing spirits
And I'm still chasing them lights
Now, who is a bigger mystic?
And who's winning a bar fight?
There's the one about forever
And loving you in a past life or whatever
The difference between us
Is when I sing it, I really mean it
But I guess I wasn't listening
'Cause you always had the same questions
You've been chasing spirits
And staying up all night
You said if you don't rein it in
You're shaving ten years off your life
I tried to come to you, but you didn't like the way I asked
But there's nothing in L.A. for me
Just a lonely singer at the beach
I could start a garden with the landlord
Something good and simple
And worth staying in town for
I was pulling cards while you jumped the cattle guard
They say lovin's hard
You've been chasing spirits
And I'm still chasing them lights
Now, who is a bigger mystic?
And who's winning a bar fight?
