Passerby

If too much love is an overdose

So many times I have come so close

I guess I'm still learning though

Still, I fall too quickly to make it last

Skydiving south through my hourglass

I want you, but you just pass

It looks like I'll be singing

I will not be a Passerby

There's far too much love in life

For simply a quick goodbye

And I don't mind if you keep your pride

Or if you run and hide

Just watch as I pass you by

It seems I'm a fool just trying to change the world

On both knees begging you to join me girl

And always your answer burns

Cuz while I recognize that you've been caged for most your life

It does not reconcile the fact that you won't go outside

If that's true, I guess goodbye

It looks like I'll be singing

I will not be a Passerby

There's far too much love in life

For simply a quick goodbye

And I don't mind if you keep your pride

Or if you run and hide

Watch as I pass you by

I will not be a Passerby

There's far too much love in life

For simply a quick goodbye

And I don't mind if you keep your pride

Or if you run and hide

Just go till you're satisfied

I will not be a Passerby

There's far too much love in life

For simply a quick goodbye

And I don't mind if you keep your pride

Or if you run and hide

And watch as I pass you by
