Noah Kahan – Passenger lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I think I've found a way to keep myself whole
I write my fears on green notes

I swallow my doubts away and watch them grow old
Is that why the past years seemed slow?

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me my heart and my soul
Pick me apart and look inside, inside
Fill me with dreams I can't hold
Keep me afloat in this cold world, cold world

[Chorus]
Tell me it won't hurt
Now I, I'm your passenger
The old me, won't work
Now I, I'm your passenger


I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger

[Verse 2]
Oh I think I've found a way to keep my hands full
I spend long nights, oh I question my self-control

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me my heart and my soul
Pick me apart and look inside, inside
Fill me with dreams I can't hold
Keep me afloat in this cold world, cold world

[Chorus]
Tell me it won't hurt
Now I, I'm your passenger
The old me, won't work
Now I, I'm your passenger

I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger

[Bridge]
Now all of the debts that I owe
Oh they keep me useful, my head held tall
Now I can't accept what I lost
You can make me balanced, but you can't make me whole
So


[Chorus]
Tell me it won't hurt
Now I, I'm your passenger
The old me, won't work
Now I, I'm your passenger

I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger

    To me, the song is talking about a guy who is dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety, maybe even dealing with some trauma. He meets someone who makes him feel good again, who makes him feel right again. I can't speak for exactly what he means by passenger, but I think he means he's not necessarily the one in control. They may be driving the car, but he's right there with them, sitting in the passenger seat. "Tell me it won't hurt" I read as, tell me you won't hurt me. Like, I don't want another relationship that's going to end badly. "The old me, won't work" is like "I don't want to be who I was. I want to be better with you" "Now I can accept what I lost. You can make me balanced, but you can't make me whole" is saying "I have holes, I have lost things but the happiness you bring balances the dark stuff. It doesn't fix the holes or fill the void, but it helps me to stay afloat."
