Chaser Lyrics

When you clear out all the smoke, the memories of those years
Seem dimly lit like I never replaced a light bulb
And when you clear out all the smoke, they found me on your neighbor's lawn
Rambling on, dizzy and upset and freezing cold

But I know how it looked when I fell to pieces around you

[Chorus]
Well I'm a chaser but I found stronger winds
If you believe her, there's no going home again
I'm a chaser, I found stronger winds
If you believe her, there's no going home
I'm not going home, I got suckered in

Please don't make me feel like a disaster
I'm learning how to put the pieces back together
And turn the aching to composure
I'm thinking with my head first;
No more broken phones or swollen knuckles
From putting holes in the booth by the back wall

[Chorus]
I'm a chaser but I found stronger winds
If you believe her, there's no going home again
I'm a chaser, I found stronger winds
If you believe her, there's no going home
I'm not going home, I got suckered in
When you clear out all the smoke (I'm a chaser)
I guess everyone's alone (And if you believe her)
When you clear out all the smoke (I'm a chaser)
I don't see why that's so wrong

[Chorus/Outro]
Well I'm a chaser but I found stronger winds
If you believe her, there's no going home again
I'm a chaser, I found stronger winds
If you believe her, there's no going home
There's no going home, I got suckered in
I got suckered in, there's no going home
I got suckered in, there's no going home again

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
