《Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are》歌词

[00:10:15] The skies were pure and the fields were green

[00:10:15] And the sun was brighter than it's ever been

[00:10:15] When I grew up with my best friend Kenny

[00:10:15] We were close as any brothers than you ever knew

[00:10:15] It was always summer and the future called

[00:10:15] We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all

[00:10:15] And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real

[00:10:15] But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone

[00:10:15] They said he crashed and burned

[00:10:15] I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young

[00:10:15] We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune

[00:10:15] We got in trouble but we sure got around

[00:10:15] There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark

[00:10:15] I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground

[00:10:15] Chorus:

[00:10:15] But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far

[00:10:15] And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car

[00:10:15] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:10:15] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:10:15] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:10:15] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:10:15] (Solo)

[00:10:15] And when the sun descended and the night arose

[00:10:15] I heard my father cursing everyone he knows

[00:10:15] He was dangerous and drunk and defeated

[00:10:15] And corroded by failure and envy and hate

[00:10:15] There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze

[00:10:15] Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees

[00:10:15] And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again

[00:10:15] I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone So

[00:10:15] many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own

[00:10:15] And though the nightmares should be over

[00:10:15] Some of the terrors are still intact

[00:10:15] I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice

[00:10:15] And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back

[00:10:15] chorus

[00:10:15] (Solo)

[00:10:15] There was a beauty living on the edge of town

[00:10:15] And she always put the top up and the hammer down

[00:10:15] And she taught me everything I'll ever know

[00:10:15] About the mystery and the muscle of love

[00:10:15] The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow

[00:10:15] I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo

[00:10:15] And the signs along the highway all said, Caution! Kids At Play!

[00:10:15] Those were the rights of spring and we did everything

[00:10:15] There was salvation every night

[00:10:15] We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn

[00:10:15] But everything we tried was right

[00:10:15] She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound

[00:10:15] I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up

[00:10:15] out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising up from a tomb

[00:10:15] chorus

[00:10:15] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:10:15] (repeats 6x)

[00:10:15] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

[00:10:15] (repeats 6x)

[00:10:15] She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound

[00:10:15] I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up

[00:10:15] out of the back seat now
