Rearview
Red box pay phones
Makes way to new wave cell phones
Trashing the old
Bringing in the new
Why do we have to choose
To leave them in the rear view
You don't have to move on from the past
There were firsts before there were lasts
You don't have to move on from the past
You could have stayed here with me while it lasts
You were on track to be my last
Why did you veer off that road
Threw my stuff on the grass
You swerved off my hallowed path
Why did you have to go (ooh)
Through every crash and burn
This car survived
Through every thick and thin
We made it out alive
Not this time
I paid the price
You're zooming away on county roads
Traditions and car radios
Do you feel guilty, when you see me
A limp figure among trees
In your rear view
You don't have to move on from the past
(the past)
There were firsts before there were lasts
(there were lasts)
You don't have to move on from the past
(from the pasts)
You could have stayed here with me while it lasts
(while it lasts)
You were on track to be my last
Why did you veer off that road
Threw my stuff on the grass
You swerved off my hallowed path
Did you have to go
Check your rear view mirrors
To me everything is clearer
You could've held me tight
Held me tender
But I know I look better in the rear view
(ah)
The rear view goes, the rear views
You must miss me
You should have stayed
But whenever you're talking
With someone instead
I hope you remember you left me for dead
(ooh)
I always felt I must look prettier in the rear view
Every time you're with them
You must miss me too
I can't "help" your bad decisions
That's up to you
But maybe I'm just prettier in the rear view
You don't have to move on from the past
There were firsts before there were lasts
You were on track to be my last
(You were on track.)
Why did you veer off that road
(Did you veer off...)
Threw my stuff on the grass
(Threw my stuff...)
You swerved off my hallowed path
Why did you have to go
(Did you have to go)
You'll check your rear view mirrors
To me, everything is clearer
You could've held me tight
Held me tender
But I know I look better in the rear view
(aye yeah)
I look better in the rear view
(yeah) in the rear view
Makes way to new wave cell phones
Trashing the old
Bringing in the new
Why do we have to choose
To leave them in the rear view
You don't have to move on from the past
There were firsts before there were lasts
You don't have to move on from the past
You could have stayed here with me while it lasts
You were on track to be my last
Why did you veer off that road
Threw my stuff on the grass
You swerved off my hallowed path
Why did you have to go (ooh)
