RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED TO BE Rearview & Windshield Remix — Revised Verses and Bridge [VERSE 1 — nostalgic, reflective, with a hint of pain] Got some old dreams in the rearview glass, Got a few good years that went by too fast. Got a front porch swing and a door slammed shut, And a younger me who thought love was enough. There’s a road I’ve known like the back of my hand, And a life where I forgot who I am. But there’s something in that great unknown That feels a whole lot like coming home. [PRE-CHORUS — gentle build] Maybe all those miles behind Were just teaching me to drive. [CHORUS — keep unchanged] If it scares you and excites you, Makes you wanna run but pulls you right through, If your heart says, “Go,” while your mind says, “Wait,” You might be standing at the edge of change. When the what-ifs whisper and your wild side calls, And you’re half afraid you might risk it all, Take a deep breath, let your brave side lead— You might be right where you need to be! [VERSE 2 — leaving, finding herself] Now the morning light’s on the dashboard glow, Got a full tank of hope and a long way to go. No more walking on eggshells at home, No more feeling like I’m never enough. I don’t know the turns or where I’ll end up, But I’m done letting fear keep me stuck. Sometimes you find what you’re looking for When you finally pull away from the shore. [PRE-CHORUS — stronger, more assured] Maybe that flutter in my chest Means I’m finally taking my next step. [CHORUS — full, uplifting] If it scares you and excites you, Makes you wanna run but pulls you right through, If your heart says, “Go,” while your mind says, “Wait,” You might be standing at the edge of change. When the what-ifs whisper and your wild side calls, And you’re half afraid you might risk it all, Take a deep breath, let your brave side lead— You might be right where you need to be! [BRIDGE — vulnerable, then rising into strength] I can love those days and still move on, Even when the love I knew went wrong. That rearview shows me where I’ve been, But that windshield shows where life begins. [FINAL CHORUS — biggest, joyful release] If it scares you and excites you, Makes you wanna run but pulls you right through, If your heart says, “Go,” let it have its way, You just might thank yourself someday. When the what-ifs whisper and your wild side calls, Quit waiting around for the stars to fall. Take a deep breath, trust what you feel— That little bit of fear means the dream might be real! [OUTRO — playful, confident] Scared? A little! Excited? You bet! Got a whole lot of road I ain’t traveled yet! Rearview’s got my story… Windshield’s got the rest! I’m right where I need to be… And I’m headed somewhere blessed!
