Chasin’ The Sun

Saw the sun hangin’ high in a blue-sky frame,

Felt like the world was standin’ still for a change.

Two minutes later, it dipped down low,

Like time decided it was time to go.

When I was young, the days felt wide,

Like the road went on with nothin’ to hide.

Now it’s all in the blink of an eye—

The more I live, the more life flies.

The older I get, the faster it runs,

Like I’m always chasin’ a fallin’ sun.

Moments used to stretch like skies so wide,

Now they vanish in a streak of light.

I blink, and morning’s already done—

And I’m just chasin’ the sun.

Used to lay in fields and count the stars,

Now I’m countin’ years in the rearview of my car.

Birthdays come like a stormy tide,

And the mirror don’t lie ’bout the truth inside.

Time don’t warn you, don’t tap the brakes,

It just moves on for heaven’s sake.

One day you’re a dreamer with nothin’ to prove,

Next, you’re wonderin’ how you moved so soon.

The older I get, the faster it runs,

Like I’m always chasin’ a fallin’ sun.

Laugh lines grow, and nights feel thin,

And I’m learnin’ to let the moment in.

I blink, and another year’s gone, son—

Still chasin’ the sun.

Maybe time ain’t mine to hold,

Like fire in your hands or stories told.

But I’ll keep walkin’, even when it fades—

Soakin’ up the gold in every day.

The older I get, the faster it runs,

But I won’t stop chasin’ the sun.

’Cause every light that slips away,

Still shines in the heart of yesterday.

I blink… but the race ain’t done—

I’m still chasin’ the sun.
