Chasing the Sun

We tried to stay young

By chasing the sun

You blink for too long

The swans sing a song

And all that I've lost

And all that I've won

Don't mean nothing more

When you open

Your eyes and they're gone

After all we've been told

We’re still flesh and bones

And life's worth much more

Than silver and gold

And all that I've lost

And all that I've won

Don't mean nothing more

When you open

Your eyes and they're gone

And how can it be

that we'll never see

The first day of spring

And the last autumn leaves

So lost in my mind

I tried to stay strong

If wounds heal in time

Tell me why it's so hard to move on

Hard to move on

I'll never move on

I caused the mistakes

That we’ll never make

The pictures of trips

That we’ll never take

And all of these thoughts

They keep me awake

Hang on to your heroes

Before it's too late

Cause there’ll come a time when you

Open your eyes and they're gone

Someday they're gone

Someday they’ll be gone

And I'll still be here

Chasing the sun
