Blink of an Eye

Blink of an Eye - Passenger

Lyrics by：Michael Rosenberg

Composed by：Michael Rosenberg

I was a dreamer when I was young

Lyin' on the grass starin' at the sky

I never felt the time was moving on

I thought it would stay the same

For all my life

Playin' games under Christmas lights

When the world was warm and bright

But that time just seemed to fly

In the blinking of an eye

I was a joker when I was at school

Smokin' grass laughing and gettin' high

I never cared about nothin' at all

I thought it would stay the same

For all my life

Kissing girls under summer nights

When the world was big and bright

But that time just passed me by

In the blinking of an eye

I left home at seventeen

Tried to get into the music scene

It wore me down like an old machine

I learnt how to work and forgot how to dream oh

Yeah

I fell in love at twenty-one

Down in the grass getting lost in her wide eyes

Wouldn't have traded it for anyone

I thought it would stay the same

For all my life

But I was just too young to know

I let her down and let her go

That time taught me how to cry

In the blinking of an eye

In the blinking of an eye

I hit the road at twenty-three

Stood in the grass singing songs for passers-by

Foot-loose and fancy-free

I thought it would stay the same

For all my life

Oh and practice taught me how to preach

I touched the world so out of reach

And that time it lived and died

In the blinking of an eye

It all changed at twenty-nine

My boat came in and the stars aligned

I watched a simple song of mine

Travel the world in the blink of an eye yeah

Yeah

Now I'm here at thirty-six

Down in the grass tryna make sense of it all

Maybe there's no easy fix

The highest highs come with the hardest falls

See the good times come and go

Like the people that you know

And all you can do is try

For it's gone in the blink of an eye
