Chasing the sun
The Wanted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the lights touch the light
We're together now
I'm better, so much better now
Look to the skies
Give me life
We're together now
We've only just begun
Hypnotized by drums
Until forever comes
You'll find us chasing the sun
They said this day wouldn't come
We refused to run
We've only just begun
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
And when they say light's fading
We're gonna play in the dark
'Til it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can't see you coming
And we'll never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun
I'm never, I'm never down
Lying here, staring up
And you're looking down
I'm never, I'm never down
Live forever, forever
With you around
We've only just begun
Hypnotized by drums
Until forever comes
You'll find us chasing the sun
They said this day wouldn't come
We refused to run
We've only just begun
You'll find us chasing the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun, the sun, the sun, the sun
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
And when they say light's fading
We're gonna play in the dark
'Til it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can't see you coming
And we'll never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh (Chasing the sun)
Oh oh oh oh oh (Chasing the sun)
Oh oh oh oh oh (You'll find us chasing the sun)
Oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
And when they say light's fading
We're gonna play in the dark
'Til it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can't see you coming
And we'll never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
The song "Chasing the Sun" by The Wanted has a positive outlook on life and the future. The lyrics find the singer in a much better state than before, seeing the light and looking to the skies for life. The chorus declares that they've only just begun chasing the sun and will continue until forever comes. The verse mentions how they refused to run when others said that this day would never come. In the bridge, they resolve to play in the dark until it's golden again and that they will never grow old again.
It seems that the song is about moving forward with a positive attitude, no matter what others say. It’s about refusing to give up and taking life by the horns. The drums represent the hypnotic beat and rhythm of life that keeps us going, and the line “Can’t see you coming” in the bridge could be interpreted as someone being caught off-guard by unexpected joy or change. Overall, it's a song about living life to the fullest and making the most of every moment.
