"Chasing Pavements" by Adele

Lyrics:

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong, I am right
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust
I know this is love
But, if I tell the world
I'll never say enough
'cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you

[Chorus]
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
Even if it leads nowhere

I build myself up
And fly around in circles
Waitin' as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally, could this be it

[Chorus]
Or should I give up
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there

Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there
Should I give up
Or should I just keep on chasin' pavements
Should I just keep on chasin' pavements
Ohh oh

[Chorus x2]

     The message of the song is to keep true to your dreams and to yourself, even if everything seems as though it is against you. Adele in this song is wondering whether or not she should go after her love interest because she does not know how he feels about her. I'm not really sure why I enjoy this song as much as I do; actually, it baffles me. I cannot stand any other Adele song but I absolutely love this one. The sad tone of this song is similar to some of the songs we listened to in class, and the message is sort of similar, although not the same.
