Rearview Mirror

Skipping stones

I see your nervous tics

Again I wrote you off

Practiced parlor tricks

Hands in your pockets

Yeah, you like my shoes

Never understood

“Anything for you”

Give me that look

In the rearview mirror

Say my name

You say it so tender

Haven’t thought straight

Since the moment I met you

Tried everything

To forget you

I have to go now

Don’t look in the mirror

Don’t say my name

Don’t say it tender

I have to go now

Don’t look in the mirror

Don’t say my name

Don’t say it tender
