Passing Light

Said it wouldn't break if it could bend
And I knew you were the only one who meant it
So we split it backwards over the fence
Hoping we'd learn some kind of lesson
Is it worth losing all your best friends
I put it in the backseat like I promised
In between the stereotypes and tonic
Parked your car you said: Be honest
Is this the life you always wanted?
And do you want it now?

'Cause I've been up all evening
Lying awake, Trying to escape
All my time spent chasing dreams I'd lost in the wake
Lost in the space between us
I saw it in your eyes, on your way out
You were always a passing light
A vision in the night, with the lights out
Don't we all see something
Don't pass me by on your way down
On your way out
Don't pass me by on your out
