Rear View Mirror
What happens when you really say goodbye?
It’s a whole lot deeper than all those tears in her eyes
When the sadness grows on for miles and miles
Do you remember the day that you last really smiled?
Tape that last box and load it on the truck
The measure of a life contained in carefully labeled stuff
Some of those memories you can pack safely way
But others linger through each state line you cross, each sign along the way
And you don’t get to pick, the road you travel down
Take each day the best you can, sometimes without making a sound
You pray
You pray
Never lost my faith even when I lost my sight
Headlights barely cut the fog on a humid summer night
Wheels keep turning, Atlanta seems like a dream
Or a place where heartache and happiness, aren’t always what they seem
And even those you thought would understand
Leave you with an emptiness, and they wonder why “I am who I am”
Rear view mirror always shows the way
But not where you’re going, just helps to resonate
How far you’ve traveled and how much you’ve already seen
Miles turn into days and days, and you learn what hope means...
If you really see.
