Rearview Mirror
Fading Memories: Lost Love in the Rearview
Lyrics
It was pouring rain
Experiencing heavy rain
Pulled out the driveway
Starting to leave the home
And made my way on down the road
Traveling down the road
Flippin' through stations
Changing radio channels
And every song playin'
Every song suggesting a direction
Is tellin' me which way to go
Reflecting on choices in the rearview mirror
('Cause) In that rearview mirror
Emphasizing the rearview mirror
She slammed the door
Recalling a moment of closure
On the same spot we had our first kiss on her porch
Ending a significant relationship
In that rearview mirror
Reiterating the focus on the mirror
I watched my girl fade away until she was gone
Watching the person disappear from view
And out of my world
Feeling the impact on personal world
The windshield's wiper blades
Wipers clearing the view symbolically
Remove the water
Metaphorically clearing emotions
As I do the same to my eyes
Addressing emotional pain
I can't help but think back
Reflecting on past memories
To all of the memories
Nostalgia for shared experiences
Of that girl that I left behind
Regret for leaving someone behind
In that rearview mirror
Revisiting the rearview mirror
She slammed the door
Repeating the closure moment
On the same spot we had our first kiss on her porch
Recalling the first kiss
In that rearview mirror
Watching the person fade away
I watched my girl fade away until she was gone
Reiterating the departure from view
And out of my world
Impact on the narrator's world
Out of my
Highlighting personal loss
And sometimes it goes away
Variable emotions over time
And sometimes it stays
Uncertainty in emotional attachment
And sometimes it's meant to be and won't ever change
Acknowledging the unchangeable
I tried with all my heart
Effort to salvage the relationship
There's nothing left to save
Acceptance of irreparable damage
In that rearview
Revisiting the rearview mirror motif
In that rearview
Reiterating the reflective theme
In that rearview mirror
Emphasizing the significance of the mirror
She slammed the door
Recalling the closure scene
On the same spot we had our first kiss on her porch
Revisiting the first kiss location
In that rearview mirror
Watching the final departure
I watched my girl fade away until she was gone
Reiteration of the person fading away
And out of my world
Impact on the narrator's world
