Passenger
Noemi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m just a passenger, I’m gonna let you drive me
Anywhere the mood takes you, I’m gonna let you guide me
So, anywhere you need to go, you need to go I don’t need to know
I’m just a passenger, a passenger

You sitting on the back seat of a taxi driving at the speed of light out of control
Lookin’ for the road signs in the middle of the night, windows down so I can feel the cold
And you are the only one that knows, one that knows
I’m gonna be your passenger, passenger

I was alone and then you were there to claim me
All out of everything and everything you gave me
So anytime you need a friend, you need a friend no matter when
I’m gonna be your passenger, your passenger

Sitting on the back seat of a taxi driving at the speed of light out of control
Lookin’ for the road signs in the middle of the night, windows down so I can feel the cold
And you are the only one that knows, one that knows
I’m gonna be your passenger, I’m gonna let you drive me home... drive me home

I’m just a passenger, I’m gonna let you drive me
Anywhere the mood takes you, I’m gonna let you guide me
So, anytime you need a friend, you need a friend no matter when
I’m gonna be your passenger, I’m gonna let you drive me home

I’m gonna let you drive me home




I’m gonna let you drive me home
I’m gonna let you drive me home
