Chasing the Sun lyrics

We tried to stay young by chasing the sun

You blink for too long, the swan 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 bone

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 try 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 curse the mistakes that we'll never make

The pictures of trips that we'll never take

And all of these thoughts that 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
