Lyrics
You drive down your old street
You're driving through your old neighborhood.
Familiar smiles from those you meet
Recognizing familiar faces and smiles.
You’ve been around been everywhere
You've experienced various places and situations.
But objects in the rear view mirror
Things from the past seem nearer than they actually are in the car's mirror.
Are closer than they appear
A warning that objects in the mirror may appear closer than they are in reality.
Looking back is bittersweet
Reflecting on the past is both nostalgic and painful.
When the world was at your feet
Recalling a time when you felt empowered and capable.
Love would make your life complete
Love used to bring fulfillment in life.
No one makes it on their own
Emphasizing the idea that success often involves support from others.
You’ve come so far
Acknowledging personal progress.
In your comfortable car
Feeling comfortable and secure in your current situation.
Now objects in the rear view mirror
Past memories feel closer than they truly are in reality.
Seem closer than they are
Reiterating that the past seems more immediate than it is.
Looking back is bittersweet
Looking back at the past brings mixed emotions.
All the world was at your feet
Remembering a time when the world felt full of opportunities.
Love could make your life complete
Love used to offer a sense of completeness.
Yeah, love could make your life complete
Love had the power to fulfill life.
Teach your heart to skip a beat
Encouraging to rekindle the feeling of excitement in the heart.
Lift your eyes above the street
Directing to look beyond the immediate surroundings.
This is where you once belonged
A reminder of a place where one felt they truly belonged in the past.
Come on now, its not so bad
Trying to find a positive perspective on the present.
Thinking back on the fund we had
Recalling joyful moments from the past.
We can stitch a life together
Suggesting the possibility of building a life from past experiences.
With the fibres of the past
Using past experiences as a foundation for the future.
But you cannot make a fleeting moment
Highlighting the fleeting nature of moments and experiences.
Promise it will last
Cautioning against expecting fleeting moments to endure.
Looking back is bittersweet
Reflecting on the past brings a mix of emotions.
Love the world was at your feet
Recalling a time when opportunities seemed abundant.
Lift your eyes above the street
Encouragement to look beyond immediate surroundings.
This is where you once belonged
A reminder of a place where one felt a sense of belonging.
Been everywhere
Having experienced various places and situations.
And now you’re here
Reflecting on the journey that brought you to the present.
And objects in the rear view mirror
Feeling like the past is fading away.
Seem to disappear
The past seems to be disappearing as you move forward.
