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
