Driving Backwards, Looking Forward
I’m driving backwards, looking forward, Down a road I thought I knew. Every mile is filled with memories, Every sky a different hue. Had a crazy dream about my life, Flying through a world without the strife. Laughing as the colors passed me by, Chasing echoes in the night. (Chorus) I’m dreaming… Painting my feelings in the sky. Where the past and future intertwine, And nothing ever really dies. I’m dreaming… Letting go of all the rules this time. Driving backwards, looking forward, Finding pieces of my life. (Verse 2) I saw the towns I never stayed in, Faces I forgot to meet. All the versions of the man I was, Walking barefoot on the street. Every wrong turn felt like right, Every shadow carried light. And in the mirror of that midnight ride, I saw the me I used to hide. (Chorus) I’m dreaming… Painting my feelings in the sky. Where the past and future intertwine, And nothing ever really dies. I’m dreaming… Letting go of all the rules this time. Driving backwards, looking forward, Finding pieces of my life. (Bridge) Maybe the way ahead Begins where the story bends. Maybe I had to lose my place To let my heart begin again. The road unwinds, and I rewind, But somehow still arrive. Driving backwards, looking forward, I feel the spark revive. (Final Chorus) I’m dreaming… Painting my feelings in the sky. Where the past and future intertwine, And nothing ever really dies. Still dreaming… Letting go of all the rules this time. Driving backwards, looking forward— And for once, I’m not afraid to fly.
