Chasing the sun
Safe Haven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking in the pouring rain
Thought of you driving me insane
How time has come and gone
Seven years of singing songs

I'll find an end to all of this
I'll find an end to this
And we'll say we were young and full of hope
And we never really did what we're told
And we'll say we were dumb and all alone
But we're still chasing the sun
Chasing the sun

Through the night, trying to stay awake
Working hard to make a way
So pack your things and we'll run away
We'll find a place for you and me

I'll find an end to all of this
I'll find an end to this

And we'll say we were young and full of hope
And we never really did what we're told
And we'll say we were dumb and all alone
But we're still chasing the sun

Some days you've got to move on, move on
Some days you've got to hold on, hold on
Some days you've got to try to remember
Some day you've got to try to forget

And we'll say we were young and full of hope
And we never really did what we're told
And we'll say we were dumb and all alone
But we're still chasing the sun

And we'll say we were young and full of hope
And we never really did what we're told
And we'll say we were dumb and all alone
But we're still chasing the sun

One day we'll fade but we'll never forget
That we lived without regret
And we were young, and proud and we raised our voices loud
But we're still chasing the sun
Chasing the sun




We're chasing the sun
We'll find an end to all of this
