Chasing The Sun

We try 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 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 could 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, 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

Some day they're gone
Some day they'll be gone

And I'll still be here chasing the sun
