Chasing Tomorrow

Zadie and the Rambunctionals

The cost of always reaching for next and missing what’s already here.

Liner Notes

Chasing Tomorrow looks at the habit of measuring life by what comes next instead of what’s already here. Set on a familiar road of movement and ambition, the song reflects on missed sunsets, borrowed time, and the quiet erosion that happens when forward motion never pauses. It doesn’t condemn the chase — it simply asks what’s been left unseen along the way.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Every step forward leaves a shadow behind
Eyes on the prize but the prize ain’t kind
Steel strings hum like a clock ticking time
Looking for more while the moment slips blind

Chorus
Chasing tomorrow chasing a dream
Missing the colors in the in-between
Chasing tomorrow but it don’t stay
Living for next and losing today

Verse 2
The road keeps winding the stars never stay
Gravel and dust they just blow away
Calloused hands clutching a fading flame
Running so fast I forgot my name

Pre-Chorus
How many sunsets did I leave unseen
How many breaths stolen by the machine

Chorus
Chasing tomorrow chasing a dream
Missing the colors in the in-between
Chasing tomorrow but it don’t stay
Living for next and losing today

Bridge
What’s at the end but another far line
What’s in my hands but borrowed time
A whisper a sigh the echoes of youth
I’ve been chasing lies instead of the truth

[Pause]

Chorus
Chasing tomorrow chasing a dream
Missing the colors in the in-between
Chasing tomorrow but it don’t stay
Living for next and losing today
