Only Passing Through Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

A grand December day
In ways no camera lens could capture
But then, no clouds to mute the skies
Unshielded eyes, a quiet fractured

Long rolling thunderclaps
Like raptures past
We held together again
But in the aftermath
One left the path
This time forever, he said

(If you look)
You′ll find me staring down the sun
(Riding rainbows) 'round the moon
(As the clock′s) unwinding each and every one of us
We're only passing through
Only passing through


No tears, no long goodbyes
No hero dies, the film continues
And when, the perfect story's told
The credits roll, it should be over, he said

(If you look)
You′ll find me staring down the sun
(Riding rainbows) ′round the moon
(As the clock's) unwinding each and every one of us
We′re only passing through
Only passing through
Only passing through
Through

Everybody, everybody, everybody
Everybody's looking for the perfect high
To fade the past and face tomorrow
While life is rumbling quickly by
(Everybody, everybody, everybody)


Everybody′s looking for the perfect high
To break the fall and ease the sorrow
And now it's time to wonder why
(Everybody look up, look up
Everybody wonder why)
Wonder why
(Everybody look up, look up
Everybody wonder why)
Why

As the clock′s unwinding each and every one of us
We're only passing through
Only passing through
Only passing through
Only passing through
Only passing through
