Rearview

You lit a match in the pouring rain Said my name like a hurricane We were sparks on a no-exit road Fast hearts, nowhere to go You wore red like a warning sign I should've read between your lines But I was too far gone to slow Runnin' from love like a shadow Now I see it clear in reverse You were always the driver of the curse You're just a blur in my rearview A flash of fire that I drove through I gave the wheel, you took control But you were never gonna stay for the long road You said love, but you meant thrill Left my heart at the base of the hill Now it's quiet, now it's true You were always just a rearview We kissed under motel lights You were gold, I was black and white You said, "let's make this forever fast" Guess I should've known it wouldn't last You had a map with my name crossed out A plan to leave when the truth came out You loved the run, not the risk You wanted freedom, not this Took the fall like it was mine But I see the signs now from behind You're just a blur in my rearview A flash of fire that I drove through I gave the wheel, you took control But you were never gonna stay for the long road You said love, but you meant thrill Left my heart at the base of the hill Now it's quiet, now it's true You were always just a rearview I swerved, I stayed You braked, I prayed We crashed in a moment I can't replay Your love was a freeway to let me go Now I drive alone You're just a blur in my rearview A flash of fire that I drove through I gave the wheel, you took control But you were never gonna stay for the long road You said love, but you meant thrill Left my heart at the base of the hill Now it's quiet, now it's true You were always just a rearview You're just a blur in my rearview A song I wish I never knew I gave the wheel, you took control But you were always on a different road You said love, but you meant thrill Left my soul somewhere still Now I've got nothing left to prove You were always just a rearview
