Rearview Mirror - 4/18/05

Passing the windows of oppurtunity,
Where is what we're supposed to see?
Nevermind the people we will meet,
There's even more on every street.
Too fast to spend a life in regret,
Close your eyes, and do what's best.
Forget everything that is now gone,
Go a little bit faster and carry on.
Everything is a little bit clearer,
When it is in the rearview mirror.
Is everyone else two steps ahead?
Will they only pass us and forget?
Do we have the heart it really takes?
To speed forever and not use brakes.
How will we survive sudden impacts?
Can we make this amazing pace last?
What makes bumps in the road smooth?
Will the voice beside me ever soothe?
Everything is a little bit clearer,
When it is in the rearview mirror.
Time is the only enemy ahead of us,
Can we succeed before becoming dust?
Don't these questions have an answer?
Or will they eat at us like cancer?
Was this whole journey an illusion?
We'll each find the same conclusion,
As we make it into the final bend,
The tunnel has no light at the end.
Everything is a little bit clearer,
When it is in the rearview mirror.
