FAWM: "Stop Chasing Me"

Stop Chasing Me

Liner Notes

This is my first full song! Finally!

This is about how I feel like my polite nature gets me dragged into situations I don't really want to be in. Such as being stalked by Mormons

Lyrics

The first time we met
You greeted me like an old friend
Looking back now
I regret the conversation

You probably would’ve just moved on
Run out of patience
But there I go again
Too polite to decline your invitation

You seemed so harmless
and well put together
You were so charming if not too alarming, with
One too many mentions of forever

Go on, get away from me now
I don’t want you around
Pounds of guilt anchored down onto me
That’s your strategy
Go on, get away from me now
Sick of you drowning me out
I pulled the line course correctin' for me, from this sad routine
Please stop chasing me

This repeated lament
Has defeated me over and over again
You singled me out
For my innocent reputation

I definitely should’ve never let you in
But your smile was so invitin, just like a gentleman and
Your persistence and insistence had me runnin' around
Nowhere to be found

Go on, get away from me now
I don’t want you around
Pounds of guilt anchored down onto me
That’s your strategy

Go on, get away from me now
Sick of you drowning me out
I pulled the line, course correctin' for me, from this sad routine
Please stop chasing

Stop, stop chasin me
Stop, stop chasin
Stop, stop chasin me
Please

Saw you sittin in your car just starin from afar
When I got home
Heard you mumble in the yard, play your missionary card
By the window
And I know
You’re chasin me

Stop, stop chasin me
Stop, stop chasin
Stop, stop chasin me

Please

Loooove this song Steph! There’s are so many gems as far as lyrics, melodies, and piano parts go. That piano part during the “stop chasing” me was especially tight tight tight tight tight!

I relate to this a little more than I would like to. The number of times someone has taken a polite smile of acknowledgement for an invitation...yeesh. This is absolutely gorgeous and so emotive - the lyrics pair so well with what you've done musically. A keeper for sure! More please!

This sounds like an awful situation. And the emotions of the situation are on full display with your vocal performance. What I liked best was the piano shift on the "Stop, stop chasin me" section.
