CHASE IT DOWN



FROM "SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO NEAR" (2009)





Lights go out

The street winds down just out of sight

Listen to you breathe

As the sky meets the night

A dream set in red, black, and white


To the wilderness and back

We carry on

Torn apart and turned around

Nowhere is too far away

To find the best part of a perfect day

And chase it down


Hours pass

While you rise above the routine

Threading through

Gunmetal gray, emerald green

The best looking part of the scene


Sort the diamonds and debris

For what it’s worth

Silver stars from rusted ground

Nothing is too much to pay

To find the best part of a perfect day

And chase it down


In your moment of weakness, I’ll be strong

Be my voice of reason when I’m wrong

Sunday gold and nocturne blue

My friend, my love, my life is here with you


Giving years to memory

We make that trade

As the clock becomes unwound

No time is too much delay

To find the best part of a perfect day

And chase it down
