Lyrics

chasing you

[Verse 1]

Keep playing hard to get

Don’t wave your white flag yet

Just when I think I’ve settled into you and me

You leave me out of breath

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m running on a treadmill

Your heart is dangled in front of me

I’m walking over eggshells

It feels so good when

[Chorus]

I can’t stop chasing you

Oh, it’s primitive the way I do

My behavior is nothing new

I can’t stop chasing you

Won’t get too close to you

Because the thrill of it

Is tryna get you, get you, get you

My behavior is nothing new

I can’t stop chasing you

[Verse 2]

Keeping him pressure fades

Falling for all this space

Constantly closing in

Don’t wanna lose, but then again

Don’t really wanna win

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m running on a treadmill

Your heart is dangled in front of me

I’m walking over eggshells

It feels so good when

[Chorus]

I can’t stop chasing you

Oh, it’s primitive the way I do

My behavior is nothing new

I can’t stop chasing you

Won’t get too close to you

Because the thrill of it

Is tryna get you, get you, get you

My behavior is nothing new

I can’t stop chasing you

[Post-Chorus]

Runnin’, runnin’, I’m runnin’, runnin’ after you

Runnin’, runnin’, I’m runnin’, runnin’ after you

Runnin’, runnin’, I’m runnin’, runnin’ after you

I can’t stop chasing you

[Chorus]

I can’t stop chasing you

Oh, it’s primitive the way I do

My behavior is nothing new

I can’t stop chasing you

Won’t get too close to you

Because the thrill of it

Is tryna get you, get you, get you

My behavior is nothing new

I can’t stop chasing you

[Post-Chorus]

Runnin’, runnin’, I’m runnin’, runnin’ after you

Runnin’, runnin’, I’m runnin’, runnin’ after you

Runnin’, runnin’, I’m runnin’, runnin’ after you

I can’t stop chasing you
