Chasing The Sun Lyrics


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

Chasing The Sun
  • This is a song about mortality and what to do with the time we're here. "This last year," Bareilles said, "I've been thinking about my life on a grander scale. It feels good to me to tap into a higher sense of consciousness."
  • Bareilles wrote this song with Fun's Jack Antonoff. The pair were introduced through their mutual friend, Sara Quin, one half of twin sister duo Tegan and Sara, who felt the two would hit it off. The first time they sat down to write together, Antonoff played the singer a few demos that he had been working on, one of them being the instrumental for "Brave." The two also penned this tune for The Blessed Unrest. "He's the most incredible human," Bareilles said of Antonoff to Radio.com . "He's so inspiring, so funny, so dear and sweet and charming and talented."

    Manhattan Lyrics


    You can have Manhattan
    I know it's for the best
    I'll gather up the avenues
    And leave them on your doorstep
    And I'll tip toe away
    So you won't have to say
    You heard me leave

    You can have Manhattan
    I know it's what you want
    The bustle and the buildings
    The weather in the fall
    And I'll bow out of place
    To save you some space
    For somebody new

    You can have Manhattan
    'Cause I can't have you

    Ah

    You can have Manhattan
    The one we used to share
    The one where we were laughing
    And drunk on just being there
    Hang on to the reverie
    Could you do that for me
    'Cause I'm just too sad to

    You can have Manhattan
    'Cause I can't have you

    And so it goes
    One foot after the other
    'Til black and white begin to color in
    And I know
    That holding us in place is simply fear
    Of what's already changed

    Ah

    You can have Manhattan
    I'll settle for the beach
    And sunsets facing westward with
    Sand beneath my feet
    I'll wish this away
    Just missing the days
    When I was one half of two

    You can have Manhattan
    'Cause I can't have you

    Manhattan
  • When Sara Bareilles moved from Los Angeles to New York she fell in love with the city but was forced to relinquish her boyfriend. She laments on this piano ballad:

    "You can have Manhattan
    'Cause I can't have you,"

    Bareilles describes this conflict between two worlds and the ensuing ending of her long-distance relationship by comparing the sandy beaches of LA with the bustle and buildings of Manhattan. She told VH1: "When I played this song for the folks at the label, they said 'We gotta get this in a Woody Allen film!'"

    Little Black Dress Lyrics


    Okay,
    I can see it now it’s all the same thing
    Just different wrapping around it
    No need,
    To soften your words
    They’re still gonna hurt
    So don’t pull punches
    I tried, to be everything you’d ever want and sometimes
    I even stood on my heart and stomped now I’m
    Finally alone and dressed for the show
    But going nowhere

    They don’t need to see me crying

    I’ll get my Little Black Dress on
    And if I put on my favorite song
    I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
    I’ll get my little black dress on

    You came
    Lifted me up but then you dropped a hurricane
    Now I’m fighting to find the ground again,
    To steady my feet
    Get up off my knees and just remember that I am
    More than just somebody’s puppet I can
    Find the cord and then I’ll cut it I stand
    A pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance

    I’ll get my little black dress on
    And if I put on my favorite song
    I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
    I’ll get my little black dress on
    I got my little black dress on
    And if I tell myself that nothing’s wrong
    This doesn’t have to be a sad song
    Not with my little black dress on

    It’s time to connect the dots
    And draw a different picture up
    And paint you with the colors of
    Everything I ever was
    Return to the scene of the crime,
    The day I let the music die
    And rewrite the final lines 'cause this time I

    I’ll get my little black dress on
    And if I put on my favorite song
    I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
    I’ll get my little black dress on
    I got my little black dress on
    And if I tell myself that nothing’s wrong
    This doesn’t have to be a sad song
    Not with my little black dress on

    Little Black Dress
  • Bareilles told VH1 that this song reveals the difficulty she faces showcasing her authentic self in the world of entertainment. "I feel people's pain maybe more than I need to sometimes, because it can be very crippling," she said. "This song started as a love letter to the lost."

    Eden Lyrics


    Let me paint a picture for you then I’ll have to teach you to see it
    Illustrate the remnants of the life I used to live here in Eden
    Rolled a lucky pair of dice,
    Ended up paradise†¨
    Landed on a snake’s eyes, took a bite and ended up bleeding

    You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
    The truth is all those angels started acting the same†¨
    And I know there’s no going back now 'cause
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    No way to make the pain play fair†¨
    It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there
    So when they ask why’d she go you can say 'cause
    Life in Eden†¨
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    Life in Eden changed

    Walking in the garden was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me†¨
    What is broken cannot show, and less than beautiful is worse than unholy
    Idolized my innocence,
    Stole it from me in the end†¨
    Now I’m wide awakened and still paying for the poison they sold me

    You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
    The truth is all those angels started acting the same†¨
    And I know there’s no going back now 'cause†¨
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    No way to make the pain play fair†¨
    It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there, so
    When they ask why’d she go you can say 'cause
    Life in Eden†¨
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    Life in Eden changed

    There was a time when I was taking all bets†¨ that
    This place was even better than as good as it gets and now
    Looking back from the outside in†¨
    I think I was choking on the air in Eden
    Choking on the air in Eden

    Life in Eden changed†¨

    You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
    The truth is all those angels started acting the same†¨
    And I know there’s no going back now 'cause†¨
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    No way to make the pain play fair
    It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there, so
    When they ask why’d she go you can say 'cause
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    When they ask why’d she go
    'Cause life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed

    Life in Eden changed
    Life in Eden changed

    Eden
  • Bareilles uses Adam and Eve as an allegory as she sings of her life changing move from her home state of California to New York. "I found myself a little stuck in the disillusionment in Los Angeles," she explained to VH1, "and this is about letting go of that and moving into a different space."

    I Choose You Lyrics


    Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
    Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
    I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
    'Cause I could live by the light in your eyes
    I'll unfold before you
    Would have strung together
    The very first words of a lifelong love letter

    Tell the world that we finally got it all right
    I choose
    you
    I will become yours and you will become mine
    I choose
    you
    I choose
    You, yeah

    There was a time when I would have believed them
    If they told me that you could not come true
    Just love's illusion
    But then you found me
    And everything changed
    And I believe in something again

    My whole heart
    Will be yours forever
    This is a beautiful start
    To a lifelong love letter

    Tell the world that we finally got it all right
    I choose
    You
    I will become yours and you will become mine
    I choose
    You
    I choose
    You

    We are not perfect we'll learn from our mistakes
    And as long as it takes I will prove my love to you
    I am not scared of the elements I am underprepared,
    But I am willing
    And even better
    I get to be the other half of you

    Tell the world that we finally got it all right
    I choose
    You, yeah
    I will become yours and you will become mine
    I choose
    You
    I choose
    You

    I choose
    You
