Blink of an Eye

Passenger

[Verse 1]
I was a dreamer when I was young
Lyin' on the grass, starin' at the sky
I never felt the time was moving on
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Playin' games under Christmas lights
When the world was warm and bright
But that time just seemed to fly
In the blinking of an eye

[Verse 2]
I was a joker when I was at school
Smokin' grass, laughing and gettin' high
I never cared about nothin' at all
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Kissing girls under summer nights
When the world was big and bright
But that time just passed me by
In the blinking of an eye

[Verse 3]
I left home at seventeen
Tried to get into the music scene
It wore me down like an old machine
I learnt how to work and forgot how to dream, oh
Yeah

[Verse 4]
I fell in love at twenty-one
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes
Wouldn't have traded it for anyone
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
But I was just too young to know
I let her down and let her go
That time taught me how to cry
In the blinking of an eye
In the blinking of an eye

[Verse 5]
I hit the road at twenty-three
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by
Foot-loose and fancy-free
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Oh and practice taught me how to preach
I touched the world, so out of reach
And that time, it lived and died
In the blinking of an eye

[Verse 6]
It all changed at twenty-nine
My boat came in and the stars aligned
I watched a simple song of mine
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah
Yeah

[Outro]
Now I'm here at thirty-six
Down in the grass, tryna make sense of it all
Maybe there's no easy fix
The highest highs come with the hardest falls
See the good times come and go
Like the people that you know
And all you can do is try
For it's gone in the blink of an eye
