‘Chasing Cars’ by Tommee Profitt & Fleurie is a gentle, emotional song about love and being together, no matter what. We’re going to explore the meaning behind the words and discover why this song feels so special. ⬇️
The music wraps us in a soft, dreamy atmosphere, where time seems to slow down and worries melt away. The story follows two people wanting to escape from the world, focusing only on each other.
The chorus—“If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?”—hits like a whispered secret in the middle of chaos. We hear longing, vulnerability, and the desperate wish to hit pause on life’s noise. We’re drawn into their world, where lying side by side becomes an act of rebellion against everything outside their little universe.
The verses unravel deeper confessions—lines like “We don’t need anything or anyone” and “All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes”—revealing a love stripped bare of pretense or distraction. There’s a nervous honesty in “I don’t quite know how to say how I feel,” and a bittersweet ache in “Those three words are said too much, they’re not enough.” It’s as if every lyric is a quiet plea for connection, for being seen, for letting go of the rules we’re taught to follow.
At its core, ‘Chasing Cars’ isn’t about running after something unreachable, but about stopping—together—and finding everything you need in a single shared moment, where nothing else matters but the person beside you.
