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 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 toughts,
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.
