== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor

I'm only here in body visiting

Yellow faces in the distance screams

"The beauty is in what isn't said,"

I'm rising to my feet

[Chorus]

Because tonight, the world turned in me

Because right now, I don't dare to breathe

Oh, babe, I know, it's alive and somewhere for us to find

Tonight, oh chase this light with me

[Verse 2]

My just so, my last call

My life is yours in your gifted hands

Confetti rainfall in a quiet street

These things I've found are special now

The knot is in my reach

[Chorus]

Because tonight, the world turned in me

Because right now, I don't dare to breathe

Oh, babe, I know, it's alive and somewhere for us to find

Tonight, oh chase this light with me

[Bridge]

A movie, still photograph

Through a martyr's eyes can I see

I've seen the best of love, the best of hate, the best reward is earned

And I've paid for every single word I ever said

[Verse 3]

Confetti rainfall in a quiet streets

The beauty is in what you make it

So get up on your feet

[Chorus][x2]

Because tonight, the world turned in me

Because right now, I don't dare to breathe

Oh, babe, I know, it's alive and somewhere for us to find

Tonight, oh chase this light with me
== Recording Details ==
Reflecting on Chase This Light [[Jim Adkins]] said the song is about "Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery. of challenge." <ref>{{Citation|url=http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php|title=Band Blog|last=Jimmy Eat World|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012192957/http://bbs.jimmyeatworld.com/blog/index.php?varDay=all|archive-date=2007-10-12|date=2007-10-09|website=Jimmy Eat World|publisher=Jimmy Eat World|access-date=2021-05-16|quote=10.09.07
vancouver, bc. day off. i was asked to write a blurb for journalists ( is "blurb" in the book?) about each of the songs. here is as concise as i can get about each tune without trampling on what you might make of it for yourself. we have never thought it was our job to explain songs. that is a rant for another time. but, after a few people asking me questions about the tunes and having really, really off base interpretations i thought it may be a good idea to at least point people in a closer direction. so, spoiler alert. i guess.

1. Big Casino-A loser anthem. Song about disgruntled burn-out dreams of success and what they would do with it.

2. Let It Happen-Always wanted to write an “I ain’t missing you”-- feigning strength as a defense song.

3.Always Be- about co-dependancy; vulnerability exploited.

4. Carry You-With distance and time, it becomes easier to invent qualities that may not have existed in a relationship. And to falsely believe those qualities could be included in a current version of the relationship.

5. Electable (Give It Up)-Frustration with the lack of intelligent political discourse in America. Why is attempting to polarize such an effective distraction from accountability?

6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues-A song about apathy. Oppression is an abstraction and thought of as someone else’s problem… until it’s you that finds yourself defending your rights.

7. Felling Lucky-A bar brawl song. Another loser anthem. yup.

8. Here It Goes-Know what is truly important to you. Don’t lose sight of that in the face of opportunity OR in the face of desperation.

9. Chase This Light-Becoming self-aware in the middle of a special experience. The “chase” is trying to find that feeling of discovery. of challange.

10. Firefight-Because it is new, everything is a big deal.

11. Dizzy-Unspoken awkwardness when two people are faced with their past.
