Pass Me By

My life's not the same as it was
I watch the world as I grow up
And I hate that I know it'll all be gone
I see the people in my life
Fall in and out of love each time
That a season comes and an old one goes

I saw a little boy holding hands with his mother
A girl with her arms wrapped 'round her lover
Rough wave, bright day, over and over
I look in mirror and I'm getting older

I watch the days go by
And I hope that I
Make the most of the blurry nights
I'm dancing with the crowd in the neon lights, yeah
I try to hold on tight
As I think of life
And the way that I'm losing time
And I don't wanna let it go and pass me by

I look for meaning all the time
I read through every single line
'Cause there must be a point to all of this

I saw a grey-haired man saying hi to his brother
A girl sing a song and I felt a shudder
First date, heartbreak, over and over
I look in the mirror, God I'm getting older

I watch the days go by
And I hope that I
Make the most of the blurry nights
I'm dancing with the crowd in the neon lights, yeah
I try to hold on tight
As I think of life
And the way that I'm losing time
And I don't wanna let it go and pass me by

(It's gonna pass me by)
(It's gonna pass me by)
(It's gonna pass me by)

So I wander through moments
Alone, and I sigh
Watching those that I know
Letting time pass them by
'Cause I know it too well
As I look at my life
10 years ago
I had no reason to cry

Now I watch the days go by
And I hope that I
Make the most of the blurry nights
I'm dancing with the crowd in the neon lights, yeah
I try to hold on tight
As I think of life
And the way that I'm losing time
And I don't wanna let it go and pass me by

(It's gonna pass me by)
(It's gonna pass me by)

I'm scared that I'm losing time
And I don't wanna let it go and pass me by
