FAQs

Why is the song called Chasing Cars? ›

There's no knife-in-the-back twist. When I read these lyrics back, I was like, 'Oh, that's weird. ' All the other love songs I've written have a dark edge." The phrase "Chasing Cars" came from Lightbody's father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, "You're like a dog chasing a car.

"Chasing Cars" here refers to the idiom of someone being "like a dog chasing a car." The idea is that dogs like to chase cars and the nature of their infatuation with them is so arbitrary and base that they love doing it even though they wouldn't know what to do with a car if they ever actually caught up with one.

To be honest the somber tone of the song creates that sad, hopeless feeling to the listener.

In a normal sequence of tenses, when the second verb is in the simple conditional tense (“would lie”), the first verb can be either in the simple present (“I lie”) or the simple past (“I lay”). So that Snow Patrol lyric, from the song “Chasing Cars,” would have been grammatically correct either way.

"All the other love songs I've written have a dark edge." The phrase 'Chasing Cars' came from Gary's father, referring to a girl Gary was infatuated with: "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."

Listen to it together. Turn to a favorite movie for some serious inspo. If it wasn't for our love of “Chasing Cars,” we would have probably just turned on 500 Days of Summer or The Last Kiss for some song inspiration.

A car chase or vehicle pursuit is the vehicular overland chase of one party by another, involving at least one automobile or other wheeled motor vehicle, commonly hot pursuit of suspects by law enforcement.

What do the lyrics of Somewhere Only We Know mean? ›

"Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol

This is probably the most memorable song in Grey's Anatomy history, so much so that it's almost like an unofficial theme song. "Chasing Cars" plays right after Denny's death, when Izzie has discovered his body and won't let them take him down to the morgue.

"Chasing Cars" here refers to the idiom of someone being "like a dog chasing a car." The idea is that dogs like to chase cars and the nature of their infatuation with them is so arbitrary and base that they love doing it even though they wouldn't know what to do with a car if they ever actually caught up with one.

You “lie in bed.” “Lie” is a verb that means “to be or put oneself in a reclined position” (e.g., “I will lie in bed because I'm tired”). “Lay” is a verb that means “putting something or someone else in a horizontal position” (e.g., “I need to lay my baby down in her crib”).

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Not Lay

The correct word is lie. We lie in bed and our cat lies in the sunshine. To lay, on the other hand, is something we do to something or someone — grammar nerds like me say that lay “takes a direct object.” All this means is that you can't simply lay, you have to have something to lay.
