Chasing the Sun Lyrics

Cover art for Chasing the Sun lyrics by Sara Bareilles

Personally I think this song is about Sara herself. She moved to New York City, she broke up with her boyfriend and split up with her band.

The song itself is about her moving to New York and finding peace and solitude in a cemetery in Queens. Contemplating the various gravestones and their proximity to the city proper, I.E Manhattan.
