All for Nothing
Chasing Sunrise: A Reflection on Love, Loss, and Learning
Lyrics
I saw a picture of you just the other day
I encountered a recent image of you.
Lit up a memory that didn't fade away
It sparked a vivid recollection that remains with me.
It got me thinkin' about the things we used to say
This prompted reflection on our past conversations.
And what we used to do
Recalling the activities we engaged in.
When we stayed up all night
Reminiscing about nights we stayed awake.
Chasin' down the sunrise
Pursuing the sunrise during those nights.
We were livin' it up because it felt right
We embraced life fully because it felt right.
We knew the end was coming
Aware that the end was inevitable.
We were busy runnin'
Engaged in a frantic pursuit.
Holdin' on to something
Clung to something meaningful.
It wasn't all for nothing (2x)
Our efforts were not in vain (repeated).
No one told us we would go our separate ways
No one warned us about parting ways.
But that's the price we pay to learn from our mistakes
Yet, separation is the cost of learning from mistakes.
I kept some photos to remind me just in case
Retained some photos as reminders.
But I could never forget you
Impossible to forget you.
When we stayed up all night
Revisiting nights of staying awake.
Chasin' down the sunrise
Chasing the sunrise during those nights.
And we were livin' it up because it felt right
Living life fully due to the rightness of it.
We knew the end was coming
Aware of the impending end.
We were busy running
Actively avoiding the conclusion.
Holding on to something
Clutching onto something valuable.
It wasn't all for nothing (3x)
Our efforts were not in vain (repeated).
We were learning to love then
We were in the process of learning to love.
It wasn't all for nothing
Emphasizing that our experiences had significance.
Life moves on
Life progresses, and outcomes vary.
Sometimes we're right
At times, we make correct decisions.
Sometimes we're wrong
At times, we make mistakes.
And now we're right where we belong
Presently, we find ourselves in the right place.
With all of the memories
With a collection of memories.
When we stayed up all night
Reflecting on nights spent awake.
Chasin' down the sunrise
Pursuing the sunrise during those nights.
We were livin' it up because it felt right
Living life fully because it felt right.
We knew the end was coming
Aware of the approaching end.
We were busy runnin'
Engaged in a hectic pursuit.
Holdin' on to something
Clutching onto something of value.
It wasn't all for nothing (3x)
Our efforts were not in vain (repeated).
We were learning to love then
We were in the process of learning to love.
It wasn't all for nothing
Emphasizing that our experiences had significance.
