Rear View

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The fire in the rear view is smaller, the further we get And I'd trade the apartment for gold tops, so I can relax You sure did a number on Carmen and Miss Mary Beth They left Camden County for Kansas, they've got nothing left [Chorus] And all this time I thought I was right All this time [Verse 2] The secondhand surgeon's afraid that it never grows back He's knee-deep in algebra, pacing a panic attack You were born in a bathtub on Deer Lake and the cradle collapsed And I promised I'd give you a mansion, I'm afraid this is it [Chorus] And all this time I thought I was right All this time [Bridge] Still, you're the reason I'm breathing, the soul in my step I've been running out of excuses, but nobody checks So scream when you need me, in fact, you can scream when you don't I'd rather sit here with you screaming than sit here alone [Chorus] And all this time I thought I was right All this time All this time I thought I was right [Post-Chorus] Father wake up, don't wake up a lie (On the mountain top, demons be gone, the drought is over) If I don't wake up, don't make up a lie (On the mountain top, demons be gone, the drought is over) Father wake up, don't wake up a lie (On the mountain top, demons be gone, the drought is over) If I don't wake up, don't make up a lie (On the mountain top, demons be gone, the drought is over, the drought is over, the drought is over, the drought is over, at long last) [Outro] The fire in the rear view (Fire in the rear view) is smaller (Fire-) The further we get (The further we get, the further we get)
