[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Bridge]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
