Chasing Sunsets
Chasing Sunsets: Embracing Life's Unknown Journey
Lyrics
Today's the day we run
Embracing the start of an adventure or journey.
Back our bags and tell no one
Leaving without notifying anyone, seeking independence.
And we go out on our own
Embarking on an unknown path together.
Into the world we're thrown
Facing the challenges and uncertainties of life.
Pack some things and go
Preparation to explore unfamiliar destinations.
To anyplace that we don't know
Willingness to explore new places without a set destination.
And we only have our dreams
Reliance on aspirations and hopes.
And deflated self-esteems
Struggling with low self-worth.
And the things you do
Actions of the partner provoke feelings of attraction.
Make me wanna fall for you
Feeling drawn or inclined towards the partner.
And the words you say
Words spoken by the partner reassure and comfort.
Let me know that it's ok
Assurance that things will be okay conveyed through words.
And when I second guess,
Doubting the situation or relationship.
Are we too much of a mess?
Questioning if the situation is too chaotic or disorganized.
You turn to smile at me
The partner's reassuring gesture in the midst of doubt.
And say yes
Confirmation provided by the partner.
This path is dark and cold
Encountering difficulties and criticisms on the chosen path.
Strangers pass and stare and scold
Feeling judged or misunderstood by strangers.
And say we're wasting all our time
Others' perception of wasting time on the journey.
As if it were a crime
Being criticized for unconventional choices.
And with every town we pass
Observing changes in oneself during the journey.
I see reflections in the glass
Seeing remnants of the past in reflections.
Of who we used to be
Recognition of past selves but feeling disconnected.
But now there's no one left to see
Sense of isolation or absence of an audience.
For every cold winter storm
Partner's support during difficult times.
Your body's there to keep me warm
Physical and emotional warmth provided by the partner.
(And) For every judgmental stare
Dealing with judgment from outsiders.
I look by my side you're always there
Partner's constant presence in the face of judgment.
And when I second guess,
Recurring doubts about the situation's stressfulness.
Is this just too much stress
Questioning if the stress is overwhelming.
You grab my hand so tight
The partner's reassuring gesture during stress.
And say it's alright
Assurance provided by the partner.
Some nights I still have this dream
Revisiting memories or fantasies of being together.
You and I and Dusk sets the scene
Imagining a picturesque moment with the partner.
With Darkness rising
Symbolism of darkness creeping in.
Light is fading
Fading hope or optimism.
And every time we're Chasing Sunsets
Constant pursuit of fleeting moments of happiness.
Today's the day we ran
Reflecting on the day of departure.
Packed our shit and had no plan
Leaving abruptly without a plan.
But as long as I have you
Dependency on the partner for strength and resilience.
I can always make it through
Confidence in overcoming challenges with the partner.
