[00:00:00] Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (Edit) - Meat Loaf (密特·劳弗)

[00:00:09] Written by：Jim Steinman

[00:00:18] The skies were pure and the fields were green

[00:00:22] And the sun was brighter than its ever been

[00:00:26] When I grew up with my best friend Kenny

[00:00:29] We were close as any brothers than you ever knew

[00:00:35] It was always summer and the future called

[00:00:39] We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all

[00:00:43] And there was so much left to dream

[00:00:47] And so much time to make it real

[00:00:52] But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone

[00:01:00] They said he crashed and burned

[00:01:02] I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young

[00:01:08] We were racing we were soldiers of fortune

[00:01:12] We got in trouble but we sure got around

[00:01:16] There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark

[00:01:20] I think hes right behind me now and hes gaining ground

[00:01:29] But it was long ago and it was far away

[00:01:33] Oh god it seems so very far

[00:01:37] And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car

[00:01:48] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:01:56] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:02:10] And when the sun descended and the night arose

[00:02:14] I heard my father cursing everyone he knows

[00:02:18] He was dangerous and drunk and defeated

[00:02:21] And corroded by failure and envy and hate

[00:02:26] There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze

[00:02:31] Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees

[00:02:35] And my fathers eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again

[00:02:43] I know I still believe hed never let me leave

[00:02:47] I had to run away alone

[00:02:50] So many threats and fears so many wasted years before my life became

[00:02:56] My own

[00:02:58] And though the nightmares should be over

[00:03:02] Some of the terrors are still intact

[00:03:06] I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice

[00:03:10] And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back

[00:03:18] But it was long ago and it was far away

[00:03:22] Oh god it seems so very far

[00:03:26] And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car

[00:03:36] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:03:44] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:03:52] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:04:23] There was a beauty living on the edge of town

[00:04:27] And she always put the top up and the hammer down

[00:04:31] And she taught me everything I'll ever know

[00:04:35] About the mystery and the muscle of love

[00:04:39] Those were the rights of spring and we did everything

[00:04:43] There was salvation every night

[00:04:47] We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn

[00:04:51] But everything we tried was right

[00:04:54] She used her body just like a bandage

[00:04:58] She used my body just like a wound

[00:05:02] I'll probably never know where she disappeared

[00:05:06] But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now

[00:05:10] Just like an angel rising up from a tomb

[00:05:16] But it was long ago and it was far away

[00:05:20] Oh god it seems so very far

[00:05:24] And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car

[00:05:33] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:05:41] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
