Rain On The Rearview

catchy, electric guitar, drum and bass, alternative rock, male vocals, energetic

(verse 1)

Neon signs are bleeding through the glass 
Static on the radio, trying to leave the past 
I'm pushing seventy-five down this empty interstate 
Too late turn around, too tired to hesitate 
The headlights catch the mist, slicing through the gray
Every mile marker takes a piece of yesterday away

(Chorus)

And it's rain on the rearview, blurring where I've been 
Ghostly taillights washing out the places I lived in
The road ahead is open, but the past is washing clean
A cinematic heartbreak on a midnight silver screen 
Yeah, the windshield's clear, the horizon's breaking through
But there's rain on the rearview 
Rain on the rearview

(Verse 2)

There's a heavy kind of freedom in the dashboard glow
A strange relief in finally letting go of what you know
I used to think that leaving meant I lost the fight
But looking at these storms recede into the night 
I see the the wreckage fading, the anger turning soft
Paying every single dept that independence cost

(Chorus)

And it's rain on the rearview, blurring where I've been 
Ghostly taillights washing out the places I lived in 
The road ahead is open, but the past is washing clean 
A cinematic heartbreak on a midnight silver screen 
Yeah, the windshield's clear, the horizon's breaking through 
But there's rain on the rearview
Rain on the rearview

(Bridge)

It's the beautiful collision of the forward and the back
The regret of what I ruined, the relief of what I lack 
I can't change the weather in the towns I left behind 
But the wiper blades are rythmically cleaning out my mind
Let it wash away, let it wash away

(Guitar Solo/instrumental break building, swelling, then clearing)

(Chorus)

Now there's just rain on the rearview, blurring where I've been 
Just a beautiful reminder of the skin that I was in
The road ahead is golden, and the sky is turning blue
The storms are in the distance, just a fading point of view 
Yeah, the windshield's clear, and I'm finally breaking through 
With just a little rain on the rearview 
Rain on the rearview

(Outro)

Just a little rain...
Rain on the rearview...
Looking back, moving on
