Rearview

[VERSE 1] Packed a bag on a Wednesday night Didn’t fold anything, didn’t turn on the light Left the key on the counter, left the door cracked wide Didn’t need to slam it — that’s how I knew I was fine [PRE-CHORUS] And I used to think leaving would feel like losing Turns out it just feels like air Rolled the windows down on the highway And you were already not there [CHORUS] You’re rearview now Just a shape getting smaller in the glass Rearview now Didn’t think I’d go this fast I keep waiting for the part where I pull over Where I break down on the side of the road But the miles keep coming And I don’t slow down You’re rearview now Just rearview now [VERSE 2] Radio found a song I used to skip Turned it up instead — funny how that flipped Passed the exit that goes to your side of town Hands stayed steady, never turned around [PRE-CHORUS] And I used to think leaving would feel like losing Turns out it just feels like air Rolled the windows down on the highway And you were already not there [CHORUS] You’re rearview now Just a shape getting smaller in the glass Rearview now Didn’t think I’d go this fast I keep waiting for the part where I pull over Where I break down on the side of the road But the miles keep coming And I don’t slow down You’re rearview now Just rearview now [BRIDGE] (steady, almost calm) I thought I’d feel it Somewhere past the city lights Thought the dark would bring it back But I just drove Just drove Just drove (builds) And the road kept going And I kept going And you just kept getting smaller [FINAL CHORUS] You’re rearview now Just a shape I don’t recognize Rearview now Didn’t even say goodbye I kept waiting for the part where I missed you Where I turned around and came back home But the miles kept coming And I didn’t slow down You’re rearview now Just rearview Just gone
