Passenger Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jake]
Calico, you'll always chase a pedigree
A better half, so contrary
Why are you so jealous?
Why are you so jealous?
[Verse 2: Jake & Nathan]
Say you won't
Say you will attend to me
Space is all the light we need
Why are you so jealous?
Why are you so jealous?
[Chorus: Jake]
We ran like fools
To chase our blues down
It seemed reminiscent
Patience growing thin
I'll sing for you again in the morning
In the morning baby
[Bridge: Jake]
Passenger, I'm clinging to the driver's seat
But you've got all the fight we need
In your room, so selfish
In your room, so selfish
Ahh
[Chorus: Jake]
We laughed like fools
To chase our blues down
I thought it familiar
Patience growing thin
I'll sing for you again in the morning
In the morning baby
[Interlude: Jake]
I was always awake
(I was always awake)
[Outro: Jake]
I was always awake
Spry to your feels
Keen on the way we were
But I fell ill like our friends
Corrupted by youth
And those who wanted more
If we ever became
The things we lost
The things we left behind
I would wish for the past
When we were pure
Suffering intertwined

Passenger was written in the winter of 2017 after the first four months of touring on landmark. Lyrically the themes deal with the challenges of growing alongside the person you love.
