Passport Lyrics

[Chorus]
I lost my passport and it's okay
We weren't goin' nowhere anyway, anyway
I lost my passport and it's okay
We weren't goin' nowhere anyway, anyway

[Verse 1]
By the time you read this (Oh)
I've already self-destructed (Ooh)

Never say anything constructive
And all I am, I am, I can't fuck with (No, no, no)
New love is simple, old love is fragile
I lost all my reverence for you somewhere in the middle
(You so different now)

[Pre-Chorus]
Usually, I could fix shit, got to fix shit
Can't forget the things you said
All that I guess is stay, no, stay

[Chorus]
I lost my passport and it's okay
We weren't going nowhere anyway, anyway
I lost my passport and it's okay
We weren't going nowhere anyway, anyway
[Verse 2]
It'd be different if you wasn't my man for real
We wasn't hangin' out (Boy)
We wasn't playin' house (Boy)
Everything casual
It's more serious than I thought
Bit more commitment than I bargained for
(For, for, for, for, for, for, for)

[Pre-Chorus]
Usually, I could fix shit, got to fix shit
Can't forget the things you said
All that I guess is stay, no, stay

[Chorus]
I lost my passport and it's okay
We weren't going nowhere anyway, anyway
I lost my passport and it's okay
We weren't going nowhere anyway, anyway

[Bridge]
I need some time to cool off
Figure out what I want, it ain't you no more
I need some time to figure out
Who I really am without you
'Cause, really, I am without you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Passport” is an unreleased SZA song that was created in early 2016, intended for her debut album “Ctrl” (which at the time was known as “A”). It can be seen on an early reference track-list for Ctrl from June of 2016 (although scribbled over with pen) which could mean she had plans of releasing this song but it ultimately was scrapped from the album.

In the track, SZA sings about her current relationship that is failing, causing her to re-think what she wants for herself.
