HARD MAGIC – “Passport” – Lyrics
You were folding up your sweaters
Tag still on your suitcase
Floor half-packed
Phone lit on the kitchen counter
One last sip of coffee
You won’t look back
If you got a passport
Get on the train
If you got a passport
Honey remember my name
If you don’t have a passport
You’ll be standing in the rain
So you got your passport
Come run and catch this train
Ticket in your teeth
You’re laughing
Running down the platform past gate nine
Crooked little photo in your pocket
Says “call me when you cross that borderline”
If you got a passport
Get on the train
If you got a passport
Honey remember my name
If you don’t have a passport
You’ll be standing in the rain
So you got your passport
Come run and catch this train
Maybe we’ll miss it
Maybe we’ll change
Maybe we’ll meet up
Some faraway place
But if you’re still searching
Still hearing my name
Check every station
I’ll be there in the rain (hey!)
If you got a passport
Get on the train
If you got a passport
Honey remember my name
If you don’t have a passport
You’ll be standing in the rain
So you got your passport
Come run and catch this train
