CHASING UP THE SUN

 

CHASING UP THE SUN

DARK NOW THE PLACES

WE USED TO GO

LOCKED AND SHUTTERED

BRACED AND WAITING

FOR THE SNOW

LIKE A DEAR LOST FRIEND

OUT THERE TIL THE END

THE LIGHT

ONLY BENDS SO FAR

BEFORE IT BREAKS

THE SHADOWS

IT CREATES

 

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE LINES

A STORY

AS OLD AS TIME

TIL WE GROW SO OLD

WE CAN'T GO

SITTING BY THE FIRES GLOW

REFLECTED IN OUR EYES

AND THE YOUTH THAT FLEW BY

CHASING UP THE SUN

BENEATH THE GREAT WIDE BLUE

 

YOU THINK YOU'RE THERE

BUT THE END WAS MOVED

HOW MUCH MORE TO PROVE

WAITING STILL YET AGAIN

SOMEWHERE NEAR THE BEGINNING 

OR CLOSER TO THE END

ALL OF IT

EVERY BIT OF YOUR LOVE THAT

YOU CAN SEND

CHASING UP THE SUN

IT NEVER ENDS

ALL GONE BLOWN AWAY

ANOTHER PAST

ANOTHER DAY

NO MATTER HOW MUCH

WE WISH

 IT GOES AWAY

SUMMERS GONE 

HIGH FIVE GOODBYE

SEE THE SUN GET SHY

MILES AND MILES

OF DARKENED SKIES

APPROACHING SIN

THE WALLS SOON BE CLOSING IN

 STILL HAVE TO GO

IN THE COLD AND SNOW

 

SHIVER

MY RESOLVE BEGINS TO CRACK

HOME BY THE FIRE

I CAN'T WAIT TO BE THERE

SHIVER

I CAN'T LET GO

WINTERS ICY SHOW

SURROUNDS ME

SHIVER

COLD AND BLUE

WHAT MUST I DO

TO GET BACK TO

THE SUN

 

ONCE IT GETS STARTED

IT CAN'T BE

UNDONE 

NO MERCY FROM THE COLD WINDS

 BLOWING

HOW SHY THE SUN

HOW GRAY THE SKY

HOW COLD ARE YOU

HOW COLD AM I

 

 

STEP

 

STEP

WHEN YOU GET SO RESTLESS

THAT YOU'VE GOT TO GO

IT SEEMS LIKE TIMES MOVING

WAY TOO SLOW

OUT THERE IN THE WIND

GOING TILL I FEEL

SOMETHING

WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE

EMBRACE IT WITH ALL

AND EVERYTHING 

TAKE IT WITH YOU

HOLD IT ON DISPLAY

WITH A SMILE

AND A LOOK THAT KILLS

STEP AWAY

FROM A BATTLE OF WILLS 

 

COME HERE

INTO THE LIGHT

STEP INTO THE PEACE

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT

UNTIL ITS RIGHT

THERE'S NO NEED

TO MAKE A POINT

HAVE A BEER

AND ANOTHER JOINT 

 

THERE'S NO ONE TO IMPRESS

PICK UP YOURSELF

JUST DO YOUR BEST

RELAX ITS NOT A TEST

ITS LIFE

ONE DAY AT A TIME

YOU LIVE YOURS

AND I'LL LIVE MINE

PICK ME FOR SURE

DON'T LEAVE ME

ON THE VINE

THE AUTUMN STARS

LIGHT THE SKY

THEY TAKE ME

TO A PLACE

WHERE I'M NOT SURE

COLDER BY THE DAY

COLDER IN THE NIGHT

THERE'S NOT MANY CHOICES

SO YA BETTER GET IT RIGHT 

 

THEN THE SNOW

JUST BARELY 

MAKE IT THROUGH

I'VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN

MORE THAN I KNEW

 MY WISH FOR YOU AND I

IS SIMPLE

OUR LOVE NEVER DIES

ALL GOES QUIET

HOLDS BACK

NO MORE TRIES

 

ALL OF THE SNOW

WISH WE COULD GO

SOMEWHERE THE SUN STAYS

AND NEVER GOES

BACK TO START ITS BEST

AUTUMN STARS STILL SHINE

JUST WHEN YOU

GET IT TOGETHER

IT ALL STARTS TO UNWIND

I HAVE TO GIVE MY THANKS

ITS ALL BEEN FINE  

MOVING TIME

 

MOVING TIME

ALMOST WHO

I WANT TO BE

STILL DANCING

ON THE EDGE

PRECARIOUSLY

I KNOW

I'LL NEVER SEE

ALL THAT I WANT TO SEE

THERE'S ALWAYS MORE

SO MANY SIGHTS

FOR SORE EYES

 ARE YOU EVER

GOING TO

LET ME INSIDE

 

LIFE MARCHES ON

MOVING SO MUCH TIME

WILL YOU SAVE ENOUGH

TO FLY

I'LL NEVER STAY THE SAME

CHANGES ALL AROUND ME

HOW WILL YOU KNOW ITS ME

WE HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE

IF ITS YOUR LOVE

ITS YOUR NEED

 

MOONLIGHT LED YOU HERE

THE THINGS YOU FEARED

IT SEEMS YOU

LEFT THEM ALL BEHIND

LIFE IS LIKE THAT

SWEETER SOMETIME 

BRING BACK

ALL THE LOVE THAT WAS MINE

 

MOVING SO MUCH TIME

BENEATH OUR FEET

REACH OUT

AND MAKE YOU STAY

TIE YOUR SOUL TO MINE

AS MOONLIGHT

SEARCHED FOR YOU

TO FALL UPON YOUR FEET

FALL INTO YOUR EYES

SO SWEET

 

BELONG

 

BELONG

YOU SAY THAT YOU'D GO BACK

BUT HOW FAR

THE MORE IT IS

THE MORE YOU ARE

AT A DISTANCE AWAY

ALL I WANT IS

FOR YOU TO STAY

FOR YOU TO SAY

I'M ONLY YOURS

 

TELL ME I'M NOT LOST

IN YOUR EYES

THEN WHY CAN'T I

LOOK AWAY

I KIND OF LIKE THIS FEELING

LIKE I BELONG

ME TO YOU

AND YOU TO ME

IF THAT'S THE WAY

ITS GONNA BE

YOU KNOW THAT'S ALRIGHT

 

EVERY SUNSET

WE CAN SEE

EVERY BIT OF LOVE

WE CAN SQUEEZE 

IS IT JUST ME

OR IS IT

THE VERY THING

THAT WE NEED

TELL ME I'M NOT LOST

DEEP IN YOUR EYES

STUCK ALL NIGHT

SWEET SUNRISE 

GOING HOME

 

GOING HOME

WIDE OPEN SPACES

DARK AND DREARY PLACES

BEHIND US

WE STAYED TOO LONG

SOMEWHERE WE NEVER

SHOULD OF BEEN

BROKEN TRUST

NEVER AGAIN

 

NOWHERE ELSE

BUT FORWARD AHEAD

SOMETHING GOOD

WAITING INSTEAD

SWALLOWED BY BLACK OF NIGHT

ARE YOU STILL

ALRIGHT

JUST THE MERE FACT

THAT I'M STILL HERE

HOLDING YOU TIGHT

TOLD YOU

I WOULDN'T LET GO

NOW WE CAN LOOK FORWARD

TO GOING HOME

IF ONLY

TO BE THERE

WITH YOU

 

AND SOMETIMES

IF I GET QUIET

STICK A NOTE

IN MY POCKET

MAKE IT SWEET

AGREE TO MEET

SOME WAY

LIPS AS SWEET

AS WINE

CAN ONLY KISS MINE

SO ITS TRUE

ITS ALWAYS THE DARKEST

JUST BEFORE THE DAWN

MY HEARTS

ALREADY ON THE MEND

THE MESSAGE THAT YOU SENT

GOT TO ME
