Chasing Joy

lyrics

On either side of the room,
You were me, I was gone too soon,
Is it safe to say that we’d spent,
A million conversations here in my head?

And as the living room was a ring,
For the struggle that our parents were in,
We built a castle with a safety net,
And asked each other how our days had progressed.

As the years came and rolled on by,
I had you always at the back of my mind,
From being a wing man to coach carter’s best,
You watched me grow till I was in over my head.

And as I spiraled in the company of love,
The days became a blur at my best,
Burnt some bridges but your hand was in mine,
You reeled me in just short of the line.

After all the races we’ve run,
The main event is right upon us,
And as a countdown starts to sing,
I hear you calling at me from within.

All our lives we’ve spent (time),
Chasing after all the dreams,
It was time well spent.
All our lives we’ve cried,
Hugged our parents as we kissed them goodbye,
All our lives, you and I,
We’ve been chasing joy time after time.

All our lives we’ve spent (time),
Chasing after all the promises,
It was time well spent.
In our lives, we met some friends,
Who had voices in their heads that said,
All our lives, you and I,
We’ve been chasing joy time after time.

All our lives we’ve spent (time),
Chasing after all the hopes,
It was time well spent.
In our lives, we met a girl,
She heard your voice and shared it with hers,
All our lives, you and I,
We’ve been chasing joy time after time.
