Lyrics

Passing through
Like the whiskey in our veins
Like the downtown Eastbound train
I may stop, but I'll never stay
Passing through
Like water in a river
Like the smoke from a dive bar cigarette
Don't hold your breath, thought I told you
I'm only passing through
I'll wait for you
That tired phrase you say
Like a broken record plays
I always said it's a mistake
I'm on the move
And I think I'll always be
I make my living leaving things behind
No exceptions to the rule
Honey, not even for you
I'm just passing through
Like an old and ancient fable
You're the sacred red, and I'm the raging bull
Leave me wild and let me be
Free for chasing something new
I'm just better passing through
You're wasting time
Quit asking me to stay
I'll be on my way before the moss begins to grow
Like a rolling stone
Living out this cliché
And I just don't want to stay stationary for too long
I'm afraid I'll start growing roots
So I'm just passing through
Like an old and ancient fable
You're the sacred red, and I'm the raging bull
Leave me wild and let me be
Free for chasing something new
I'm just better passing through
I'm just better passing through
Headed out
I leave behind a cloud of dust
And I say the things I must, to justify the way I go
But it hurts me too
Oh, when I'm passing through
Like an old and ancient fable
You're the sacred red, and I'm the raging bull
Leave me wild and let me be
Free for chasing something new
I'm just better passing through
I'm just better passing through
