Passing Through
Bob Geldof, Pete Briquette
[Verse 1]
Today in the park
I thought I saw you
That afternoon light
Playin' tricks on you
[Refrain]
I wish that you told me
"I'm only passing through"
Passed through me
And you were passing through, didn't you?
[Chorus]
We will not break, we will not bend
We'll take these rented souls and
Render them immune to loss or pain
We just pretend it's all the same
[Verse 2]
Today in the café
I thought I saw you
Smoke filters through the window
Playing those tricks with you
[Refrain]
Why didn't you tell me
"Hey, I'm only passing through"?
Stopping here a little while
As you were passing through, didn't you?
[Chorus]
We will not break, we will not bend
We'll take these rented souls and
Render them immune to loss or pain
We'll just pretend that nothing's changed
