[Verse 1]
I'm on the other side of make-believe
If I go unchecked, what will the world make of me?
I don't feel hunted, but I fear faithfully
I would never cheat, but I might take advances
These little statements are mere replacements
For something they stole, times I was laughed at
I'd fall into a hole, fade into a flashback
Real close
[Verse 2]
Free from these fables, we can grow
Blossom into bodies too frail to hold
As I commit to this high wall of love, will I ever sleep?
While I wait for the world to give it all back
[Chorus]
There's nothing so sacred, I ain't tried to chase it
I need something to hold, someone to grasp at
When I fall into a hole with a mountain on my back
Real close
[Post-Chorus]
Hey now
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Refrain]
Save me, I'm in my head
Save me, I'm in my head
Please, you know why
Please, you know why
Fall, fallen
[Chorus]
There's nothing so sacred, I ain't tried to chase it
Need something to hold, someone to grasp at
When I fall into a hole and fade into a flashback
Real close
[Post-Chorus]
Hey now
[Refrain]
Save me, I'm in my head
Save me, I'm in my head
Please, you know why
Please, you know why
Fall, fall
Passenger was written by Sam Fogarino & Daniel Kessler & Paul Banks.
Passenger was produced by Flood & Alan Moulder.
Paul Banks:
As the song ends, you hear Daniel’s guitar switch from a verse to a chorus again as it fades, and I think that change is one of the most beautiful things that he’s written. It’s a very effective guitar line. I love how the vocal and Daniel’s guitar diverge from the verse to the chorus....
