Verse 1:
Years from now we’ll realize that these were the best years of our lives/
But for now all I can think about is how my dreams just went and fizzled out/
And left me stuck here with all of you/
Everybody here is crazy, damaged goods, or just plain lazy/
Slumming it is all they can do/
Chorus:
But I’m just passing through/x3/
What’s your excuse?/
Verse 2:
And if he’s so cool, how come he never plays his guitar/
He just carries it around like he can’t put it down/
But I don’t even think he can play at all/
And if he’s so cool, how come he’ll still be stuck here with you after I’m gone/
Chorus.
Verse 3:
Well here we are in purgatory/
We all gotta do time here I suppose/
And maybe I don’t know your story/
Maybe I just judged you by the writing on your clothes/
But it’s clear to me how I got stuck in this town/
So I never bothered to ask the same of you/
Bridge:
And I thought I was finished growing up/
But if I’m so smart how come I’m no different than/
The ones who never bothered to start/ (you know that)
Chorus:
I’m just passing through/x3/
Probably just the same as you/
I’m just passing through/x3/
Probably just the same as you/
