Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Late-night drive, your window halfway down
You're yelling lyrics, but you're getting them wrong now
Missed the exit, we just laughed it off
You said, "Guess we're lost," I said, "Guess we're in luck."
(Pre-Chorus)
I know, I know, it sounds cliché
But you look different when you laugh that way
So if this is reckless, I won't fight it
I kinda like it unplanned this way
(Chorus)
We're chasing stars, yeah, I know how it sounds
Go ahead, laugh, say it out loud
In a world that's loud, it's just us tonight
Every bad idea feels stupid-right
Chasing stars, let the universe stare
If it all goes wrong, I'm already there
If this burns fast, at least it's real
Chasing stars; tell me you feel it too
(Verse 2)
Your hoodie's mine, didn't even ask
You say, "don't get attached," say it way too fast
I roll my eyes like I don't care at all
Then you pull me closer when the lights turn red
(Pre-Chorus)
I tell myself, don't overthink
But here I am, doing it anyway
If we're gonna fall, let's fall hard
I'm tired of playing it safe
(Chorus)
We're chasing stars, yeah, I know how it sounds
Go ahead, laugh, say it out loud
In a world that's loud, it's just us tonight
Every bad idea feels stupid-right
Chasing stars, let the universe stare
If it all goes wrong, I'm already there
If this burns fast, at least it's real
Chasing stars; tell me you feel it too
(Bridge)
Maybe this ends in a "what was that?"
Maybe it's just something we won't text back
But right now you're way too close
And I don't hate it; just so you know
(Final Chorus)
We're chasing stars, yeah, I know how it sounds
But don't look away, don't freak out now
If this is a spark, let it leave a mark
I'd rather feel something than play it smart
Chasing stars, if it's wrong, it's fine
I don't need forever, I just need tonight
If this disappears when the sun comes through
Chasing stars; at least I did it with you
