Chasing The Sun Lyrics - The Blessed Unrest - Sara Bareilles

It's a really old city 

Stuck between the dead and the living 

So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf 

As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet 

Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens 

I started running the maze of 

The names and the dates, some older than others 

The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers 

With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders 

Built a cemetery in the center of Queens 

You said, remember that life is 

Not meant to be wasted 

We can always be chasing the sun! 

So fill up your lungs and just run 

But always be chasing the sun!

So how do you do it, 

With just words and just music, capture the feeling 

That my earth is somebody's ceiling, 

Can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground 

Of a cemetery in the center of Queens 

There's a history through her 

Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof 

More than that, it's to dare us to move 

And to open our eyes and to learn from the sky 

From a cemetery in the center of Queens 

You said, remember that life is 

Not meant to be wasted 

We can always be chasing the sun! 

So fill up your lungs and just run 

But always be chasing the sun! 

All we can do is try 

And live like we're still alive

It's a really old city 

Stuck between the dead and the living 

So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf 

And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony 

Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens 

You said, remember that life is 

Not meant to be wasted 

We can always be chasing the sun! 

So fill up your lungs and just run 

But always be chasing the sun! 

All we can do is try 

And live like we're still alive 

All we can do is try 

And live like we're still alive
