Passenger Lyrics
"Needle In The Dark"

With progress comes problems
With wisdom comes age
With lessons come learning
And pleasure comes with pain
You can only have the sunshine
After the rain

I took a walk, it got me thinking
Left foot right foot
Smiling blinking
Breath out breath in
Somehow linking
My soul to my mind
And my heart to my mouth
Lost and the found
And the north to the south
And the corners to the circle in my mind

We may find that the gate has been locked
And we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints of the path that is lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark

My hands they are empty, but they are clean
I'm poor but I'm healthy and half between
The gutter and the skyline

So I took a walk to the lands end, yeah
Thinking about an ex-girlfriend that I had
And the pages that I've turned
And it seems to me that we all love the chase
But once we're caught we feel encaged
Behind bars of love and trust uprooted
We're drunk in lust by people
People just like us
Yeah, and people
People just like us

And yeah
You may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Yeah, retrace the footprints of the path that's been lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark

So I took a walk to the station
Lost in my imagination
Having private conversations with myself
And I'm just stumbling around
And I wait for the sound
For this crumbling town to come tumbling down
And people say that I'm just bumming around
But I've had both my ears to the ground
To the ground...
Oh, yeah (To the ground...)
