We Call It the Chase

When you’re young and know little

You chase dreams that become brittle

You chase feelings of lust

That kick your heart to the dust

You learn with failure and fault

The things that become important as an adult

Your childish views of the world fade

When bad love cuts you like a blade

Then you find the chase

The things that make your heart race

The things that set your stomach aflutter

The things that make you shutter

You realize that it’s been on her face

That thing you want to chase

You just want to admire it awhile

It’s always been that beautiful smile
