About Chemicals

"Chemicals" is a song by Australian singer and songwriter Dean Lewis. Released in March 2018 as the fourth and final single from his debut extended play Same Kind of Different (2017). The song had been streamed more than 12 million times prior to the single's release and has been called a "fan favourite". Lewis said "'Chemicals' was one of those songs that kind of fell from the sky. As in one of those songs that you start writing and the words just come down and it feels complete. It's happened a few times and I'm thankful for when it does as it's not too overthought. To me, Chemicals is that feeling of being addicted to someone and them being around you." During a live performance in November 2017, Lewis added "My friends thought this song was about drugs.""Chemicals" was certified gold in Australia in 2019.

I found love with the chemicals
I used to pray for a miracle, but now
I know that it's all over
We used to sit by the waterside
I'd kiss your cheek and say "you're mine"
But now I know it's over

And all these little things, they start to slip away, hmm
And all these little things start to fade away
And you said

"Hold me, I'm falling apart"
'Cause I'm scared and lost in the dark
And this feeling surely can not last"
So I took it away, took it away
Away from you
Hmm, whoa, oh

I held your hand but you let it go
And I knew your heart had found a home
Now I know it's over
I flew it out into the sky
Tryna run from this mountain I couldn't climb
'Cause I knew I'd fall over

And all these little things, they start to slip away
And all these little things start to fade away
And you said

"Hold me, I'm falling apart
'Cause I'm scared and lost in the dark
And this feeling surely can not last"
So I took it away, I took it away

And we were making plans and breaking dreams
When you were next to me
It's 3AM in the back of a cab
And I am begging on my knees
Don't go, won't you stay?
I can't stand to watch you walk away from me
And you said

"Hold me, I'm falling apart
'Cause I'm scared and lost in the dark
And this feeling surely can not last"
So I took it away, I took it away
Away from you
Hmm, whoa, woo, oh
