I'm getting older 00:14
There's no time to waste 00:18
Mmm, the inevitability 00:25
that I must face 00:28
But before it's all said and done 00:34
And there's nowhere left that I can run 00:38
I'm going 00:43
Going down with the sun 00:45
I'm weary 00:56
Tired of chasing the dream 00:59

Going down with the sun 01:26
I've been exiled 01:38
my heart and my love 01:40
The body's still here 01:43
My mind's already gone 01:45

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
I'm getting older
There's no time to waste
Mmm, the inevitability
that I must face
But before it's all said and done
And there's nowhere left that I can run
I'm going
Going down with the sun
I'm weary
Tired of chasing the dream
And I'm burning
Trying to blow off some steam
But before it's all said and done
And there's nowhere left that I can run
I'm going
Going down with the sun
I've been exiled
my heart and my love
The body's still here
My mind's already gone
All that is known is this story ends
How sweet home
But before it's all said and done
And there's nowhere left that I can run
I'm going
Going down with the sun
Going
going down
With the sun
Going down
with the sun
Going down on you
