(I Will Not Let This) Pass Me By Lyrics

I will not let this pass me by

Even when the sky cracks open and pours its sorrows down on us

I'll wade my way to you, through rivulets and ruts

As the rain runs down our teenage skin, so thin the water covers us in cuts

But we will share a cigarette

And forget about the stinging, singing songs of our regrets and our wet feet

And we will find our song complete

And let it go, and like the snow

We will melt into the sea

And I will get to say fuck you to the people

Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end

Let me tie myself in knots

And I will let you keep me company

On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close

And stare into fading sky

I will not let this pass me by

I think tonight was made for us

We will walk down past the coffee shops

The bus stops and the buildings turned to rust

To the rooftop, or the river, or the sea

We will walk between the raindrops

Where the city keeps its conscience and its keys

And we will let ourselves be swallowed by the light

And I will raise you indie music to your Eliot and Wright

And I will hold you in my left hand, reach my right to all I see

For I've become so many things I swore I'd never be

And I will get to say fuck you to the people

Who I thought would be my friends and left me lonely in the end

Let me tie myself in knots

And I will let you keep me company

On sticky summer evenings, keep me even, keep me breathing, hold me close

And stare into fading sky

I will not let this pass me by
