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
