about

"Rearview Mirror" is about the phenomenon of a friendship breakup: The feeling that someone came into your life for a powerful reason, only to be caught off guard when that relationship wasn't what you thought it was, and didn't last a lifetime like you’d hoped. In many ways it’s similar to when a romantic relationship ends. Who's there to keep your secrets? To laugh and to grow with? And what did it all mean?

lyrics

LYRICS:
I never thought you’d do it
Leave me standing there
Just waving at the rearview mirror
Now all I do is look back
Who can account for all the
prayers I said for all those years?

I was a fool to think that
Fate had cast you in my way
Upon a lonesome path
All my incantations
Just brought on hallucinations
It took you spinning straight out of my grasp

[Chorus]
How can I miss you so much and be so mad?

What’s there to hold on to if
At the end it’s all just
Ash to ash and dust to dust?
You used to be a buoy
But all the lines I cast have
Slowly disappeared into the rust

Trust is a rarity
Not like a diamond but the scent
of summer air in early June
And how could I convince you
Not to discard it all
The story’s left to bitterness and ruin

[Chorus]

I don’t really understand why
You couldn’t just be a friend
Flannel shirts and unwashed jeans
Why couldn’t you be
Country roads to city streets
Why couldn’t you be
Strangers on the L.I.E.
Why couldn’t you be

I never thought you’d do it
Leave me standing there
Just waving at the rearview mirror
