[Intro] The heaviest things never showed their faces This one showed everything. Then left a trail [Verse 1] You didn’t orbit. You burned a line Through the dark I thought was mine Hair of light. No promise. No plan I tried to catch you but your light burned my hands I didn’t know that the stay would be this short I stood there, simply, just inside the door You wrote my name across a single starry night And kept moving like that’s what nights are for [Chorus] You were only ever passing through A bright damn wound across my sky I mistook the heat for a place to live You were already leaving while I learned how to look You were only ever passing through I built a house on a tail of fire When it went dark I called it betrayal It was never a home. It was a flyby [Verse 2] You laughed like you had no rest mass No stones. No lock. No need to remain I tried to match your speed with a body full of gravity And called the burn a better kind of pain Don’t you dare apologize for the trail I needed proof the sky could still move You gave me motion. You gave me a scar You did not give me you [Chorus] You were only ever passing through A bright damn wound across my sky I mistook the heat for a place to live You were already leaving while I learned how to look You were only ever passing through I built a house on a tail of fire When it went dark I called it betrayal It was never a home. It was a flyby [Rap] Go, go, don’t you slow, don’t you land, don’t you lie and stay I can’t breathe, I can’t keep, I can’t make a comet wait Hair of light, rip the night, write me down and erase the page I’m gone fast cause you already be fading the stage Hot in, gone out, beautiful cause you won’t sit still I reached up, I missed, I always will Don’t turn around, don’t make it kind, don’t pretend this lasts You were only ever passing through. That’s the fact [Breakdown] Look up You’re late The tail is all that’s left Cut it [Chorus] You were only ever passing through A bright damn wound across my sky I mistook the heat for a place to live You were already leaving while I learned how to look You were only ever passing through I built a house on a tail of fire When it went dark I called it betrayal It was never a home. It was a flyby [Outro] You were only ever passing through You were only ever passing through You were only ever passing through
