New Song Demo 9-8-12

The Chase:

It's 1987
I have nothing much to lose
A snowball winter heaven
And I'll throw one in your view
Keep in mind that I am only seven,
And you just happened to drive through
But I'm sorry I'm not sorry it was you

Smashed star with a mound in the middle
You left your car door wide open on Reynolds
And chased me down around the yellow house,
The back yard path I knew by heart
Low tree, up a bank, down the snowy steps
While I tear my cold throat up with every running breath
This could never, never end...

I glance at you behind me
With every joyous step I take
I don't wanna stop at Edgerton,
I'm having too much fun with you
You can chase me down the spine of America,
Reach the Panama Canal,
Cause I'd be happy running forever away from you!

Smashed star with a mound in the middle
You left your car door wide open on Reynolds
And chased me down around a yellow house,
The back yard path I knew by heart
Low tree, up a bank, down the snowy steps
While I tear my cold throat up with every running breath
This could never, never end...

To join your soul and body, point them fearlessly
I admire your persistence, I can evidently see
That you flung yourself at me,
That you forgot yourself for me
And in my memories I'll forever run away

Smashed star with a mound in the middle
You left your car door wide open on Reynolds
And chased me down around a yellow house,
The back yard path I knew by heart
Low tree, up a bank, down the snowy steps
While I tear my cold throat up with every running breath
This could never, never end,
This could never, never end,
But you caught me...
