Passenger
Jonathan Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were young,
the passion came,
the day was ours.

We climbed the hills,
through open roads,
my hand in yours.
The summer days,
the simple ways,
the freedom to become.

We lost all time.
We lost all time.

A song came on,
we sang along,
the words all fit.

She looked at me,
and said promise,
you won't forget.

Liberating all of me,
to see life come undone.

We lost all time it was a perfect afternoon,
and suddenly I knew.
It was the day where my life took another turn,
an unexpected turn.
We were just two passengers.

A midwest sky came crashing down upon me.
No worries in the world.

We lost all time it was a perfect afternoon,
and suddenly I knew.
It was the day where my life took another turn,
an unexpected turn.
We were just two passengers.

We were just two passengers.
Holdin' on,
'til the break of dawn.

We were just two passengers,
We were just two passengers,
Holdin' on,
Until the break of dawn.

And we were just two passengers,
We were just two passengers,
Holdin' on,
until the break of dawn.

We were just two passengers,
We were just two passengers,
HOldin' on,
until the break of dawn.

We lost all time.
We lost all time.




We lost all time.
We lost all... time.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jonathan Jones's song Passenger reminisce about a beautiful afternoon shared between two people who were in love. The lyrics depict a time when life seemed simple, easy, and carefree. They reflect on the moments of passion, freedom, and liberating experiences that took place during the summer day. The two took a journey together, walking through open roads and climbing hills, hand in hand. The song they sang along to complemented the moment, and it was at that moment when she looked at him and asked him not to forget. The lyrics paint a picture of two young people caught up in a moment, a perfect afternoon that made them feel invincible.


The lyrics are all about nostalgia, lost time, and a perfect afternoon that the singer experienced with his love. The track is a heartfelt ballad, where Jones talks about losing time and himself in the moment. The track keeps building momentum from gentle finger-picking at the beginning to the raw emotion that bursts towards the end. It feels like Jonathan wanted to take his time with this track and let those emotions soar across each verse. It's interesting to note that the lyrics and song are familiar in its structure and seem more like a familiar vibe, similar to "American Pie" by Don Mclean. Although Jones's voice isn't quite as electrifying as McLean's, it's still a strong performance that has the same effect on the listener.
