[Verse 1]
If too much love is an overdose
Too many times, I have come so close
I guess I'm still learnin', though
Still, I fall too quickly to make it last
Skydivin' south through my hourglass
I want you, but you just pass

[Chorus]
It looks like I'll be singing
I will not be a passerby
There's far too much love in life
For simply a quick goodbye
And I don't mind if you keep your pride
Or if you run and hide
Just watch as I pass you by (Hey, yeah)

[Verse 2]
It seems I'm a fool just tryin' to save the world
On both knees, beggin' you to join me, girl
And always your answer burns
'Cause while I recognize that you've been caged for most your life
It does not reconcile the fact that you won't go outside
If that's true, I guess goodbye

[Chorus]
It looks like I'll be singing
I will not be a passerby
There's far too much love in life
For simply a quick goodbye
And I don't mind if you keep your pride
Or if you run and hide
Just watch as I pass you by (Oh)
I will not be a passerby
There's far too much love in life
For simply a quick goodbye
And I don't mind if you keep your pride
Or if you run and hide
Just go 'til you're satisfied
I will not be a passerby
There's far too much love in life
For simply a quick goodbye
And I don't mind if you keep your pride
Or if you run and hide
Watch as I pass you by

[Outro]
Counting backwards from nine
Breathing deeply
Speaking softly
Caring intensely
Fighting boredom
Building a myth
Building a family
Making things better
Falling into something
Head over heels
