god I’m so tired
can barely keep my eyes open
not to mention my heart
there are a thousand and one reasons it’s broken
and at the end of the day
still
at the end of the day
drive us due west
chase down the sunset
one of these days
what if we catch it?
don’t really care
that we don’t have a prayer
the day I die is the day that I
give up chasing the sunset
eyes on the light
so what if the dark outruns us?
the alternative
is heavy enough to crush us, it’ll crush us
at the end of it all
still
at the end of it all
drive us due west
chase down the sunset
one of these days
what if we catch it?
and the orange sky swallows us up
we’re a twisting fire, we are glorious
and our glowing bones turn to sparkling dust
we are glorious, we are glorious
drive us
chase down the sunset
one of these days
what if we catch it?
don’t really care
that we don’t have a prayer
the day I die is the day that I
give up chasing the sunset
eyes on the light
we are glorious
