Chasing the Sun

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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
