pass by
Move on through
Pass by means to move past something or someone without stopping: We passed by the old house on our way to town.
It can suggest missing or overlooking: Don't let this opportunity pass you by.
Time passes by when it elapses: The years passed by quickly.
A passerby is someone who happens to walk past a location.
