Chasing What's Already Gone - Live

There's a big white house, on a leafy street
On a summer's day, of 1963
The station wagon's parked, in the drive
Dents in the fender, and wood, on the side

There's kids and dogs, and instamatic cubes
Squinting hard, in the sun
Not just yet, but one day too
They'll be chasing, what's already gone
Mmmmm

You grow up tall, and you grow up tough
Try to never admit, not feeling good enough
They tell, "You find your passion and you'll find your way"
Just trying to make it unscathed, through every day

And it seems to happen, nearly overnight
Life shows you, who you've become
When there's no more mystery, in the fading light
You're just chasin', what's already gone
Mmmmm

Like the line that spells, the far horizon
Moving with you, as fast as you can run
Half your life, you pay it no attention
The rest you can't stop wondering
What you should have done
Instead of chasing, what's already gone
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Oooh

I saw my father, in a dream last night
He was smiling and sayin', "You're gonna be all right"
And this morning I stared back at myself
Feeling as empty, as I've ever felt

But I keep on going, and I hope I've learned
More of what's right, than what's wrong
It's ashes and roses, and time that burns
When you're chasing, what's already gone

Ashes and roses, and hearts that break
I tried so hard, to be strong
And maybe my worst, but not my first mistake
Chasing what's already gone
Mmmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Chasing what's already gone
