Passenger Lyrics

I've wished on stars and blown out candles

Tossed my quarters to the fountain at the local mall

I've traced the rivers of my palm

Folded fortune tellers, shaken 8-balls till the fluid clogged and dried

I've tapped along a MASH RAMP, twisted caps of soda

'Til I had the proof of who you would be

The letters of your name, the places we'd spend time, the year in which we'd die

Can I be your best friend until the ink that spells our names has bled or burned?

Will you show me all the crossed-out words, the poetry you sang that no one heard?

Will you trust that as our faces change, our hearts grow more familiar

And as our patience thins, we'll learn to not waste time?

Will you lay before me every bruise I bring

Then let me help them heal, even if the healing leaves me sore?

If love's a deck of cards then you're the only trick I know

A driveway chalk rainbow

Let me be your passenger on the ride home

Can I be your best friend until the ink that spells our names has bled or burned?

Will you show me all the crossed-out words, the poetry you sang that no one heard?

If love's a deck of cards then you're the only trick I know

A driveway chalk rainbow

Let me be your passenger on the ride home
