[Verse 1: Ryan Merchant]
Broken down on the side of the road
It'd be nice if you could help me out
I drove for miles to the place I was told
I could find you in the shadow of doubt

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Merchant & Soseh]
But you weren't there (I was there)
You weren't there (I was there)

[Chorus: Ryan Merchant]
Chasing you
It's the only thing I want to do
But now I'm facing you
What the hell am I supposed to do

[Verse 2: Ryan Merchant & Soseh]
Is it foolish to follow the rules
When everybody's following you
You gave directions that make no sense
And now I'm fucking stuck in a loop

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Merchant & Soseh]
But you weren't there (I was there)
You weren't there (I was there)

[Chorus: Ryan Merchant]
Chasing you
It's the only thing I want to do
But now I'm facing you
What the hell am I supposed to do

[Verse 3: Soseh]
You must think I'm a mannequin
Because I only come alive in my Sunday best
But somehow I'm on the run again
So you probably shouldn't hold your breath
Don't train yourself to be a fool
I only want to stick around if you pass the test
Don't cross the line, stop chasing time
Cause in time you'll find that I-I-I'm just
(Chasing you)
(Chasing you)

[Chorus: Ryan Merchant]
Chasing you
It's the only thing I want to do
But now I'm facing you
What the hell am I supposed to do

[Chorus: Ryan Merchant]
I'm chasing you
It's the only thing I want to do
But now I'm facing you
What the hell am I supposed to do

[Outro: Ryan Merchant]
Chasing you
Chasing you
