Title: Chasing the Sun
Verse 1
Coffee’s getting cold on the kitchen ledge
Standing right here on a brand new edge
The radio is humming a familiar tune
Saying morning always comes too soon
I check my phone but there’s nothing new
Just a blank screen and a sky of blue
Time to let go of the weight I kept
And all the promises that I overslept
Pre-Chorus
I feel the static start to fade away
We’ve got a blank slate waiting for today
The shadows are running out of time
And this open road is finally mine
Chorus
Oh, we are chasing the sun
Leaving the dark behind where it all begun
With the wind in our hair and the map torn up
Drinking sweet hope from an empty cup
Yeah, the highway is wide and the sky is clear
We're breaking every boundary that kept us here
Oh, we’re chasing the sun
Verse 2
Toss the old keys in the glove compartment
Saying goodbye to that small apartment
Every red light is a chance to breathe
Finding out what it means to leave
Met a man at the station with a tired smile
He said, "Son, you haven't seen a mile
Until you lose the things you thought you owned
And realize you're never truly alone"
Pre-Chorus
Now the static is completely dead
I'm focused on the open lanes ahead
The shadows are running out of time
And this open road is finally mine
Chorus
Oh, we are chasing the sun
Leaving the dark behind where it all begun
With the wind in our hair and the map torn up
Drinking sweet hope from an empty cup
Yeah, the highway is wide and the sky is clear
We're breaking every boundary that kept us here
Oh, we’re chasing the sun
Bridge
We spent so long waiting for a perfect sign
Running circles on a borderline
But the truth is simple, the truth is plain
You can’t find the light if you’re chasing rain
(Drums build up rapidly, exploding back into the arrangement)
So step on the pedal, let the engine roar
We ain't looking back to the closed-up door!
Chorus
Oh, we are chasing the sun
Leaving the dark behind where it all begun
With the wind in our hair and the map torn up
Drinking sweet hope from an empty cup
Yeah, the highway is wide and the sky is clear
We're breaking every boundary that kept us here
Oh, we’re chasing the sun
Outro
Chasing the sun...
No more looking back, yeah the race is won.
Just today, just right now.
We’re gonna make it through somehow.
(Final sustained guitar chord fades out slowly over 10 seconds)
