{ Verse 1}
I was a dreamer when I was young
Lyin’ on the grass, starin’ at the sky
I never felt the time was moving on
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Playin’ games under Christmas lights
When the world was warm and bright
But that time just seemed to fly
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 2}
I was a joker when I was at school
Smokin’ grass, laughing and gettin’ high
I never cared about nothin’ at all
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Kissing girls under summer nights
When the world was big and bright
But that time just passed me by
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 3}
I left home at seventeen
Tried to get into the music scene
It wore me down like an old machine
I learnt how to work and forgot how to dream, oh
Yeah
{Verse 4}
I fell in love at twenty-one
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes
Wouldn’t have traded it for anyone
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
But I was just too young to know
I let her down and let her go
That time taught me how to cry
In the blinking of an eye
In the blinking of an eye

{Verse 5}
I hit the road at twenty-three
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by
Foot-loose and fancy-free
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Oh and practice taught me how to preach
I touched the world, so out of reach
And that time, it lived and died
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 6}
It all changed at twenty-nine
My boat came in and the stars aligned
I watched a simple song of mine
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah
Yeah
{Outro}
Now I’m here at thirty-six
Down in the grass, tryna make sense of it all
Maybe there’s no easy fix
The highest highs come with the hardest falls
See the good times come and go
Like the people that you know
And all you can do is try
For it’s gone in the blink of an eye

MICHAEL, YOUR MUSIC HAS KEPT ME LIVING. YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE, NUMEROUS TIMES. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I HEAR THE PAIN AND LOVE IN YOUR VOICE WHILE YOU SING. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART❤

[aradeinde]

"All you can do is try, for it's gone in the blink of an eye". I'm 29 and I relate to every single word of this song and the soul behind the words. Thank you Mike for being a huge part of my existence.

[ClaversOdhiambo]

Such a moving song; it sounds like a journey through his life (reminiscent of "27"). I've played it on loop so many times now; for whatever reason it gives me hope that my "stars will align" too.

[lesliewolf]

Fantastic, as always. Both my son and I are huge fans (he's 21, I'm 59) - just shows the range of people your music reaches!

[sunflowersandroses]

Thus made me cry for real....I am so proud of you.

[ditris]

In a Blink of an Eye everything that you have ever known, ever loved..your family, friends,

[carlosalmeida]

Mike's songs have this characteristic effect: they touch our very soul. I've loved the "passenger" since the first time I heard the first song. All of them are made with the heart.

[adrianbarnes]

"now I'm here at 36"
When I hear this line I think back to '27' from Whispers in 2014. Like you say it happens in the blink of an eye.
Thankyou for your music Mike.

[lelazizolli]

I was having a pretty rough day so far, and this song put a smile on my face. So thank you 😇

Goose bumps when u spoke about ur little song travelling the world. I remember finding u on YouTube 10 yrs ago and following u. 27 and let her go was me and my daughters favorite. We wer do happy wen let her go got number 1, we felt like we had won it lol. Ur music reminds me of her everyday. I lost my family forever not that long ago. Ur music will remind me of them everyday. We all loved u. ❤

Time is Nothing but an endless loop of Emotions

[lisajanevellacott]

Absolutely love the song that is called Against The Grain, it is gorgeous and your voice in certain segments is so beautiful ♥️

[happiness]

Yeah..still awake, 2am I'm ready‼️been listening addictively on repeat for over 12hrs I've just realised🥰!!⭐Beautiful Album Mike⭐Congrats⭐xx

[indrajitdey]

The funny thing about a song is that the artist will never know how many lives he has touched. Lost my grandma two months back, and it has never been the same. She meant the world to me, and I am so happy that I was able to say it all, do it all before it was too late. I am so happy to have lived each moment with joy and love.
And it's midnight, I am sipping on some cola, all teary eyed and in peace.
Guys, whoever's listening, may this be your call, make peace with all those who matter to you. I have seen people living with regret and that's not pretty!
Separation from your loved ones is never pleasant, but we can make that a little less unpleasant.
May you have peace, and God bless

[mattxrag]

This song pulls deep emotions of nostalgia. I miss simpler times 💯

[flamoo_girls]

Somehow Michael's songs slows down time and makes one reflect on life and envision peace and fulfillment.
This is how I feel everytime I listen you his songs 😊😊❤

[mesapetr]

Hope you guys feel blessed by this new album... Thanks again PASSENGER... YOUR MUSIC is what everybody need...

[praise_frank]

Indeed all we can do is try! Beautiful..just beautiful.

[memdi]

You know when a song is written from the heart ♥
