Chasing the sun
It’s a really old city split between the dead and the livingSo I thought to myself sitting on a graveyard shelfAs the echo of heartbeats from the ground below my feetFilled a cemetery in the center of QueensI started running the maze of the names and the datesSome older than others, the skyscrapers’ little tombstone brothersWith Manhattan behind her 3 million stunning remindersBuilt a cemetery in the center of Queens
You said remember that life is not meant to be wastedWe can always be chasing the sunSo fill up your lungs and just runWe’ll always be chasing the sun
So how do you do it with just words and just musicCapture the feeling that my earth is somebody’s ceilingCan I deliver in sound, the weight of the groundOf a cemetery in the center of QueensThere’s a history through her sent to us as a gift from the futureTo show us the proof, more than that it’s to dare us to moveAnd to open our eyes and to learn from the skyFrom a cemetery in the center of Queens
You said remember that life is not meant to be wastedWe can always be chasing the sunSo fill up your lungs and just runWe’ll always be chasing the sunAll we can do is tryAnd live like we’re still alive
It’s a really old city split between the dead and the livingSo I thought to myself sitting on a graveyard shelfAnd the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphonyPlayed by a cemetery in the center of Queens
You said remember that life is not meant to be wastedWe can always be chasing the sunSo fill up your lungs and just runWe will always be chasing the sunAll we can do is tryAnd live like we’re still alive
