Passenger Lyrics

When the most high

Met us here below

Blessed shoulder blade

You took off your clothes

On the coast line

I jumped in after you

Thinking that every day

Led to this afternoon

And as you swim out

Into the key of sea

I charm the homonym

As you hum the harmony

And when you turn round

I swear I saw you there

And it felt like I was blind

Till salt was in my hair

And now, the best we can do

Is waiting out the winter in the living room

I pray the sun's coming soon

You say isn't this so lovely too

In the window

I'm just passing time

In the passive voice

Trying to hook the past on a line

But each I throw out

Comes empty to the shore

Can't catch Eliza's grace

With a simple metaphor

And now, the best we can do

Is waiting out the winter in the living room

I pray the sun's coming soon

You say isn't this so lovely too

To sit and watch the seasons move

We were young once

And we kind of are

Riding passenger

In the family car

You turn the lights off

Along a darkened road

As I count the stars above

And you wonder which leads home
