(Verse 1)
The sun spills gold on the window pane, another morning breaks
You're tangled in the sheets again, for heaven's sake
I could just lie here and watch you breathe, a perfect, stolen slow
But the world is waiting on the other side, and we've got miles to go
We're in a hurry for the daylight, for the coffee and the chase
To fill every single minute with the rhythm and the pace
(Chorus)
'Cause we're chasing the day, with laughter on the breeze
Spinning all our moments out between the rustling trees
But when the velvet darkness falls, and the stars begin to bloom
We're lingering in the moonlight, dancing in a silent room
Chasing time, spending years with you
Through every sunrise, every sky of midnight blue.
(Verse 2)
We've walked a million city blocks, and climbed a hundred hills
Raced against the ticking clocks, to get our fill
Of all the stories we can tell, the places we have been
Building a beautiful fortress with the chaos held within
We've lived like there's no tomorrow, a hunger in our stride
With every second borrowed, with nothing left to hide
(Chorus)
'Cause we're chasing the day, with laughter on the breeze
Spinning all our moments out between the rustling trees
But when the velvet darkness falls, and the stars begin to bloom
We're lingering in the moonlight, dancing in a silent room
Chasing time, spending years with you
Through every sunrise, every sky of midnight blue.
(Bridge)
Some days are a blur of motion, a rush from here to there
A fast-forward, an endless ocean of air
But the night, it holds us still, it slows the frantic beat
And a quiet, gentle thrill, makes the bittersweet complete
(Chorus)
'Cause we're chasing the day, with laughter on the breeze
Spinning all our moments out between the rustling trees
But when the velvet darkness falls, and the stars begin to bloom
We're lingering in the moonlight, dancing in a silent room
Chasing time, spending years with you
Through every sunrise, every sky of midnight blue.
(Outro)
Yeah, chasing time, spending years with you
It's all we've ever wanted to do.
