Paroles
Watching it all get small behind
Everything we left in the rear view tonight
Streetlights stretching out into a line
The road ahead is yours, the past is mine
You're already somewhere I can't go
A city I will never get to know
The radio's down to a whisper now
I'd hold the night forever if I knew how
But it's gone, oh
Slipping out the window
Too late now to say it, and I know
Rear view, watching us go
Getting smaller in the afterglow
All the words I never let arrive
Now I keep them to myself, keep them to myself
Some things you only love when they're behind
So I keep them to myself, keep them to myself
You fell asleep against the door
The version of you I'll remember more
Than any morning, any goodbye line
Just this quiet, just this borrowed time
I drive so soft I barely make a sound
Trying not to wake what I just found
But it's gone, oh
Slipping out the window
Too late now to say it, and I know
Rear view, watching us go
Getting smaller in the afterglow
All the words I never let arrive
Now I keep them to myself, keep them to myself
Some things you only love when they're behind
So I keep them to myself, keep them to myself
Mile after mile it disappears
The almost-us of all these years
I'll carry it where you won't see
A whole love folded small enough to keep
Watching it all get small behind
Everything we left in the rear view tonight
