(I Will Not Let This) Pass Me By

about

For love and figuring it out

lyrics

I will not let this pass me by
Even when the sky cracks open and pours its sorrows down on us
I'll wade my way to you, through rivulets and ruts
As the rain runs down our teenage skin, so thin the water covers us in cuts
But we will share a cigarette
And forget about the stinging, singing songs of our regrets and our wet feet
And we will find our song complete
And let it go, and like the snow
We will melt into the sea

And I will get to say fuck you to the people
Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end
Let me tie myself on knots
And I will let you keep me company
On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close
And stare into fading sky
I will not let this pass me by

I think tonight was made for us
We will walk down past the coffee shops,
The bus stops and the buildings turned to rust
To the rooftop, or the river, or the sea
We will walk between the raindrops
Where the city keeps its conscience and its keys
And we will let ourselves be swallowed by the light
And I will raise you indie music to your Eliot and Wright
And I will hold you in my left hand, reach my right to all I see
For I've become so many things I swore I'd never be

And I will get to say fuck you to the people
Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end
Let me tie myself on knots
And I will let you keep me company
On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close
And stare into fading sky
I will not let this pass me by
