Story behind the song

Being dumped on the phone wasn't really an option...

Lyrics

The Passenger

Time is a passenger
On a train that?s bound for the coast
All he wants is an answer
To the telephone

Country drags by the window
400 miles across the land
To see the shape of his future
In her hand

And we?re watching as the sand flows
Through our fingers to the horizon
We?re watching as the hands go
Forever onwards around the clock face
To the horizon

Light shimmer in the darkness
Under the cities amber sky
The shadows are the memories
Passing by

The faded plastic leather jacket
Remains smiling on the photograph
The warmth only memories 
Of your past

Chorus
