Which act sings the lyrics "let's waste time. chasing cars around our head"?

Answer 1

Yes Snow Patrol.

I think they might have taken the title from this quote:

"Advertisement has us chasing cars, working jobs we hate to buy sh*it we don't need."- Tyler Durden

Answer 2

The song's Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol!Ü

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

"Chasing Cars" is the third single from Snow Patrol's fourth album, Eyes Open. It was released on July 24, 2006 in the United Kingdom, as the album's second single.

The song was first heard on the band's 2005 Final Straw tour, when they began playing three newly written songs (the other two being "Your Halo" and "It's Beginning to Get to Me") they intended to release on their upcoming album. Since then, the composition of the song was changed slightly, but most of the lyrics were rewritten.

"Chasing Cars" pushed its way onto the download and pop charts in the United States after it was heard in the second season finale of the popular television show Grey's Anatomy on May 15, 2006. Owing to the song's surprise popularity, it was released as an overlapping single in early June and the video was re-recorded to include clips from the show. On September 13, 2006, the song soared in the digital music charts to become the most-downloaded song in the U.S. iTunes Store, just one day after the DVD release of the second season of Grey's Anatomy . Gary Lightbody, frontman of Snow Patrol, says it is the "most pure and open love song [he's] ever written." [1]

"Chasing Cars" was played in the highlights package at the end of the final episode of Big Brother UK Series 7. In addition, "Chasing Cars" was also chosen as one of the songs which Singapore Idol's season 2 runner-up Jonathan Leong sang in the finals.

A trance version of the song was recently remixed by Blake Jarrell & Topher Jones. It aired on the highly popular trance radio show A State of Trance on August 17, 2006
