Rear View v16

V6

[Verse 1] We were kings of nothing Plastic crowns A rusted car Writing names in window fog Like they’d live there forever Cheap wine in a paper cup Your laugh shaking through my chest You said “Promise we won’t fade” I said it like a prayer Then [Chorus] Glory in the rearview You and I in golden blur I’m driving through the dark now Chasing who we used to be Glory in the rearview Every mile just pulls you near I still reach across the seat But it’s only empty air and memory [Verse 2] You cut bangs in my bathroom Hair on tiles Your nervous grin We danced under kitchen light Like a stage we’d never leave Now the sink still drips in time Same four walls A colder bed Your old sweater on the chair Still holding your shape Yeah (oh) [Chorus] Glory in the rearview You and I in golden blur I’m driving through the dark now Chasing who we used to be Glory in the rearview Every mile just pulls you near I still reach across the seat But it’s only empty air and memory [Bridge] Tell me Did we burn too fast Or am I just standing still Phone that never lights your name Clock that I can’t quiet Still I keep seeing us in flashes Late-night streets and reckless plans Every beat a ghost of you Running through my hands (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] Glory in the rearview You and I in golden blur I’m driving through the dark now Chasing who we used to be Glory in the rearview Every mile just pulls you near I still reach across the seat But it’s only empty air and memory
