Rear View

A rainy morning, mid July
Counting months, they’re going on
I watch ’em fly
You turn you back now, second time
Telling me you never meant
To start a fire

And I know that I’m to blame
‘Cause I made the same mistake
I believed you when you said we had a shot
I believed you when you said I’m all you got

I watch your face
In the rear view
‘Cause I won’t see it again
God, I wanna believe you
When you say we can be friends
Every night, I close my eyes
Hoping I’ll wake up surprised
‘Cause you know that I’d choose you
Now, I’ll watch your face
In the rear view
(In the rear view)

We went on our separate lives
Never thought I wouldn’t have you
By my side
Counting miles as I fly
Open road, but I still wish
That you were mine

And I know that I’m to blame
‘Cause I made the same mistake
I believed you when you said we had a shot
I believed you when you said I’m all you got

I watch your face
In the rear view
‘Cause I won’t see it again
God, I wanna believe you
When you say we can be friends
Every night, I close my eyes
Hoping I’ll wake up surprised
‘Cause you know that I’d choose you
Now, I’ll watch your face
In the rear view
In the rear view

Headlights were blinding
No one survived it, oh
We had a fine thing
Then drove it off the road

And I know that I’m to blame
‘Cause I made the same mistake
I believed you when you said we had to rest
I believed you when you said it’s for the best

(Oh) I watch your face
In the rear view
‘Cause I won’t see it again
God, I wanna believe you
When you say we can be friends
(You said we could be friends)
Every night, I close my eyes
Hoping I’ll wake up surprised
‘Cause you know that I’d choose you
Now, I’ll watch your face
In the rear view
In the rear view
