Lyrics

Passerby

Check yourself into the river

Check yourself into a dream

Check yourself into a hellhole

Where nobody else has been

Check yourself into a freefall

Hide away behind the scene

Check yourself into a nightmare

Where no one can hear you scream

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

This is something to remember

When I pass you on the street

I just hoped you would discover

It was me you're meant to meet

Don't know what started all the meltdowns

When the glasses came unstuck

Those moments still remind me

Could it be beginner's luck?

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Never met like stranger ships in the night

Never found the danger, come find the light

This is not the start but this ain't the end

This is not the start but this ain't the end

Again

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you

Passerby, pass me by to love you still

To love you still, to love you
