Chasing the Sun
We tried to stay young by chasing the sunYou blink for too long, the swan sing a songAnd all that I've lost, and all that I've wonDon't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone
After all we've been told, we're still flesh and boneAnd life's worth much more than silver and goldAnd all that I've lost, and all that I've wonDon't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone
And how can it be that we'll never seeThe first day of spring and the last autumn leaves?So lost in my mind, I try to stay strongIf wounds heal in time, tell me why it's so hard to move onHard to move onI'll never move on
I curse the mistakes that we'll never makeThe pictures of trips that we'll never takeAnd all of these thoughts that keep me awakeHang on to your heroes before it's too late'Cause there'll come a time when you open your eyes and they're goneSomeday, they're goneSomeday, they'll be gone
And I'll still be here chasing the sun
