[Hook]
Watching life go by through the rear window
Watching life go by through the rear window
Hit the gas, going fast
Hit the brakes, [....take it?]
Watching life go by through the rear window

[Verse 1]
Is it a reason why the ocean is blue
Is it a reason why the sky is too
Some say brown eyes turn blue, is that true
That love can change the eye color of a fool
I guess, we all play the fool, the first rule
The first guideline, in the game of playing it cool
Some think playing it cool is just playing you
That's if you wear your heart on your sleeve, and it's in plain view
Then I can see all the bullshit that you've been through
And you can see all the bullshit that I've been through
Sitting as my passenger looking through my rear view
You can see my past behind me, but behind you, I see
A veil, white dress with a long tail
And maybe one day, I can be that groom
When you confront your past, you see what's true
I just hope it isn't too late for me and you

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Going through my mind, picking out memories
Each painful thought comes with a penalty
And each happy one, it comes with a price
I guess penalties and prices are just a part of life
I take it how it comes, I take it by the tongues
Then take something that numbs that's stronger than Tums
I take a drag, pass around the bag like the bums
Do with the cardboard cribs in the slums
Looking through the rear view without a clear view
Of what's to come, so I let the engine run
Every time I come by the spot
Today, I might not even stop
It may sound phony but that's just how I feel
It may be phony, but I'm just being real
Life ain't a game about luck, it ain't about skill
I can't say I never change, because I'm changing still

[Hook]
Watching life go by through the rear window
Watching life go by through the rear window
Hit the gas, going fast
Hit the brakes, [....?]

Watching life go by through the rear window
Watching life go by through the rear window
Watching life go by through the rear window

Watching life go by through the rear window
