Here’s “Passenger,” a tune of mine I’m entering into NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest this year. It’s a song about surrendering to love by allowing yourself to be its passenger, to ride its ever-changing waves of beauty and hurt. No matter the outcome, I’m really proud of this one, and I hope you love it too 🥲
LYRICS:
verse 1
it carries me
like the waves on an open sea
wading, wandering, capture me
and hijack my heart
it moves my mouth
and the words that are coming out
whispering turns into a shout
and I fall apart
pre-chorus
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
I’ll let you hold me
you can be my guide till the day I die
just shape and mold me
chorus
cause I’m just your passenger
I’ll hang on your every word
until we crash and burn
I’ll still dance in the flames of you
verse 2
you threw me out
rocked the boat, left me there to drown
discarded like the lost and found
and I’m sinking deep
ooh, but I’ll swim back up for more
reach the surface and the promise of the shore
siren song, I am hooked on your allure
sing me to sleep
pre-chorus
and take me for a ride, take me for a ride
I’ll let you hold me
a gravity that I never could defy
why fight the inescapable beast
chorus
cause I’m just your passenger
I’ll hang on your every word
until we crash and burn
I’ll still dance in the flames of you
you’re gone in a flash and then
you’re holding my hand again
I never know where or when
but I’ll stand here and wait for you
cause I’m just your passenger
bridge
I’m tied to your rhythm
I write every song about you
with or without you
I’m your willing victim
shortsighted and wrong, you told me to
guess I’ll never learn
I will only return, just say when
closing chorus
cause I’m just your passenger
swear you off then I surrender
it’s worth a whole world of hurt
just to dance in the flames of you
you’re gone in a flash and then
you’re holding my hand again
I never know where or when
but I’ll stand here and wait for you
cause I’m just your passenger
oh, I’m just your passenger
I’m just your passenger
you carry me
like the waves on an open sea
wading, wandering, capture me
and hijack my heart
