Passing Me By
D.C.R. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember that trip we took in Mexico?
Yeah, hanging with the boys and all your señoritas
I never spoke up, yeah, I never said hello
But I keep on trying to find a way to meet ya
Yeah

I was chillin', you were with him
Hooked up by the fire
Now he's long gone
I'm like, "So long"
Now I got my chance
Now I, now I got my chance

Like damn
You could be the one that could mess me up
You could be the one that'll break me
Damn
All them other girls said they had enough
You could be the one that'll take me
I was solo, living YOLO
'Til you blew my mind

Like damn
You can be the one that could mess me up
I can't let you
Can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by

I was trying to play too cool to get caught up
Like too fun, too young to fall to pieces
I know a girl like you can't ever get enough
So I'm addicted, trippin', trying to get you to see this

The way I need you, like I'm seen through
Dancing out my pants
Got you shooking, caught you looking
Now I got my chance
Now I, now I got my chance

Like damn
You could be the one that could mess me up
You could be the one that'll break me
Damn
All them other girls said they had enough
You could be the one that'll take me
I was solo, living YOLO
'Til you blew my mind

Like damn
You could be the one that can mess me up
I can't let you, can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by

It's like
Everywhere I look and everywhere I go
A million other guys be staring and I know that
I can be yours and you can be mine
I just can't let you pass me by – by – by

Everywhere I look and everywhere I go
A million other guys be staring and I know that
I can be yours and you can be mine
I just can't let you pass me by – by – by

Like damn
You could be the one that could mess me up
You could be the one that'll break me
Damn
All them other girls said they had enough
You could be the one that'll take me
I was solo, living YOLO
'Til you blew my mind
('Til you blew my mind)

Like damn
You could be the one that can mess me up
I can't let you, can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
(Yeah girl)
I can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh




(Can't let you go)
Yeah, I can't let you pass me by

Finally watching one of these videos after my second DCR, both eyes done now. Knock on wood neither one fails like I've seen in these comments, they left my first tube in for about a year.

Nice video easily understandable

I had this external procedure 6 years ago, at first it seemed to have worked but after a few months my tears were not draining away properly so I had another DCR operation this time up through my nose, again at first everything was fine but after a few months my tears would not drain away sufficiently. Also now when I slightly tilt my head downward my eye tears up and blurs my vision. My nostril now also has a slow leak of fluid, very annoying to say the least. My consultant said there is nothing more he can do so I have to live with this condition for the rest of my life!

Mr sympathisch

Did u have pain before u did the surgery?

Justin Styles

@Mr sympathisch No pain, just a watery eye.
