Chasing the Sun
Hilary Duff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why am I in such a hurry
Always getting up too early
So fast, everything is blurry, oh oh
It's like the clock is always racing
But my time is not for wasting
Someone else can do the chasing

'Cause I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh

On my pursuit of happiness
I realized that more means less
If I got love, then I am blessed, oh I know
So I'll start living while I can
And hold the moment in my hands
I'll fly until I learn to land in my home

I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Love the life I live
And I will live the life I love
Open up my eyes and I will take whatever comes

I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun

I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Won't miss out on the fun
Gotta get it while our hearts are young
I'm chasing the sun




Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, Hilary Duff questions why she's always in a hurry, always waking up early, and always rushing through life as if she's chasing time itself. The next line suggests that everything is happening so quickly that it's difficult for her to even see what's going on. However, despite the clock always racing, Hilary doesn't want to waste any more time in this way - she wants to live life on her own terms and not have someone else chasing things for her.


In the second verse, Hilary realizes that pursuing happiness was not the answer to her problems. Instead, she discovered that "more means less" and if she has love in her life, then she is already fortunate. From that day on, she decides to start living her life fully and take control of the moment instead of just letting life pass her by. She wants to make the most of life while her heart is still young, to seize every opportunity that comes her way and not miss out on any fun.


Overall, the song is a reminder to live in the present moment and make the most of life while we still can. It encourages people to let go of their worries, fears, and doubts and chase their dreams relentlessly. Hilary sings about how she wants to enjoy the life she lives and live the life she loves, and that attitude is reflected in the upbeat melody and catchy chorus which are sure to leave listeners feeling uplifted and inspired.
