REARVIEW Lyrics

I'm going forward, but my eyes are drawn to everything behind me

Going 90, but I can't help searching all the eyes of every person that I see

Every little vacancy, they'll never be who you were to me, but neither will you

Cause you're just a version of a person that I used to know so well

Used to think you knew me better than myself, risk it all just to be near you

In a year, you're just a stranger. Something dangerous about these mirrors, though

Something changes when you're looking way too close, and it appears new

But you look better in the rearview

You look better in the rearview

I wanna call you, wanna ask for all the answers to the fallout

Not from you, though, from the person who knew all about my questions without asking them

So I do everything I can to keep away this feeling, to keep myself from reaching for the version

Of a person that I used to know so well

Used to think you knew me better than myself, risk it all just to be near you

But in a year, you're just a stranger. Something dangerous about these mirrors, though

Something changes when you're looking way too close, and it appears new

But you look better in the rearview

You look better in the rearview

I'm going forward, well at least I'm trying

Running from or chasing what's behind

Hoping when the fog clears, I'll make up my mind

Wipe away the windows and be fine

After all, you're just a person, even though we might be closer than appears

I can't bring you back by looking in the mirror, I'll crash and burn there

In a year or so, I'll move on

Be okay with all the bullshit that went wrong

Stop putting the thought of you in all my songs

Look ahead instead of staying here

Cause you look better in the rearview mirror

Rearview mirror
