[00:00.73]Mary Chapin Carpenter - Chasing Whats Already Gone
[00:26.06]There's a big white house on a leafy street
[00:29.23]
[00:31.99]On a summer's day in 1963
[00:33.61]
[00:38.61]A station wagon's parked in the drive
[00:41.30]
[00:44.80]With dents in the fender and wood on the side
[00:47.48]
[00:50.92]There's kids and dogs in instamatic hues
[00:52.92]
[00:53.55]Squinting hard in the sun
[00:56.25]
[00:57.06]Not just yet but one day too
[00:59.12]
[00:59.63]They'll be chasing what's already gone
[01:01.56]
[01:15.50]You grow up tall and you grow up tough
[01:17.81]
[01:21.37]Try to never admit not feeling good enough
[01:23.81]
[01:27.37]They tell you find your passion then you'll find your way
[01:33.00]
[01:33.56]I'm just trying to make it unscathed through every day
[01:36.75]
[01:39.68]And it seems to happen nearly over night
[01:42.75]Life shows you who you've become
[01:44.69]
[01:45.87]When there's no more mystery in the fading light
[01:49.12]You're just chasing what's already gone
[01:51.75]
[02:05.70]Like the line that spells the far horizon
[02:10.53]
[02:12.15]Moving with you as fast as you can run
[02:16.77]
[02:17.84]Half your life you pay it no attention
[02:21.71]The rest you can't stop wondering
[02:23.72]
[02:25.03]What you should have done
[02:26.59]
[02:27.71]Instead of chasing what's already gone
[02:29.65]
[03:20.06]I saw my father in a dream last night
[03:23.00]
[03:25.74]He was smiling and saying you're gonna be alright
[03:29.43]
[03:31.99]And this morning I stared back at myself
[03:34.81]
[03:38.75]Feeling as empty as I've ever felt
[03:41.43]
[03:44.43]But I keep on going and I hope I've learned
[03:47.93]More of what's right than what's wrong
[03:50.62]It's ashes and roses and time that burns
[03:53.56]When you're chasing what's already gone
[03:55.93]
[03:57.50]Ashes and roses and hearts that break
[03:59.68]I tried so hard to be strong
[04:01.81]
[04:02.93]It may be my worst but not my first mistake
[04:06.18]
[04:07.50]Chasing what's already gone
