brother elsey - passing through lyrics

[verse 1]
passing through
like the whiskey in our veins
like the downtown eastbound train
i may stop but i’ll never stay
passing through
like water in a river
like the smoke from a dive bar cigarette
don’t hold your breathe, thought i told you
i’m only passing through

[verse 2]
“i’ll wait for you”
that tired phrase you say
like a broken record plays
i always said it’s a mistake
i’m on the move
and i think i’ll always be
i make my living leaving things behind
no exceptions to the rule
honey, not even for you
i’m just passing through

[chorus]
like an old and ancient fable
you’re the sacred red and i’m the raging hope
leave me wild and let me be
free for chasing something new
i’m just better passing through
[verse 3]
you’re wasting time
quit asking me to stay
i’ll be on my way before the moss begins to grow
like a rolling stone
living out this cliche
and i just don’t want to stay stationary for to long
i’m afraid i’ll start growing roots
so i’m just passing through

[chorus]
like an old and ancient fable
you’re the sacred red and i’m the raging hope
leave me wild and let me be
free for chasing something new
i’m just better passing through
i’m just better passing through

[bridge]
headed out
i leave behind a cloud of dust
and i say the things i must to justify the way i go
but it hurts me too
oh when i’m passing through
