Collect the feathers falling on my doorstep
The birds remind me with their blackened rain
I keep them in a wooden box
Next to a card that you once gave me
In the days when everything began to change
Now I'm drinking beers with Jimmy
I know that this will kill me
I do not believe I ever was alive
Just passing by
It'll all work out you told me
In my heart I bear reminders
That dreams require years of follow through
So with fingers crossed I set out
But I had to put some miles
Between myself and my own heart
Nearly dies and realized I'm not alive
Just passing by
Ain't it funny looking back
The nicest thing you ever bought me
Was a suitcase built to last so I could go
SO I filled it full of all the shit
And thought of looking back one time when I left home
There's no ocean big enough
To hold the pain in my own heart
No flickering flame here to remind me I'm alive
Just passing by
