Rearview

​

Don't leave your blinds drawn

I'm waiting on the sun

When it rises it drags me from my room

Now I'm watching you sleep there

Stars shining in your hair

As you reach to pull me back into our tomb

​

Boston is fogging in the rearview

It's such a long way back from you

Somebody driving by

Is looking me in the eye

But they're passing me at ninety when they do

​

You read me your morning

And I sat there adoring

How you always seem to blow yourself away

And I'm sorry I came by

Just to lie in your bed and cry

But you say I made you happy anyway

​

The sun is on fire in the rearview

It's not a long way back to you

I'm trying to leave my head

For these evergreens glowing red

And I swear I'll take you with me when I do

​

But everything's fogging in the rearview

And someday this highway won't take me back to you

I'll drive it instinctively

Just to park at your house and see

That I've lost you and I don't know what to do

​
