there was a time
where love was such an easy promise
a backseat whisper in the moonlight

there was a time
when every season had it’s colours
standing out in their own right

we’re only passing by
and it’s hard to let go
only passing by
to another stop down the road

I recall
patient hands slowly turning
my darkest hour away
I recall
eyes the dark green of the forest
I got lost in on a wet day

we’re only passing by
and it’s hard to let go
only passing by
like paper cups put afloat
and I know you know
only passing by
to another stop down the road

there was a time
when love was such an easy promise
a backseat whisper in the moonlight

there was a time
I could give you all the answers
and say we’re going to be all right

we’re only passing by
and it’s hard to let go
only passing by
like paper cups put afloat
and I know you know
only passing by
to another stop down the road
only passing by
