One day it came to me
I am always driving down the same road the same way
Looking for an off-ramp
As I take the same turns, same old curbs each day
One day it came right to me
I'm always relying on other people to save me
Trying to stand on my feet
As I go back to ask you for help
I go back to ask you for
The speed is mine to set, I will just go my own way
So I won't forget what I see
In my dirty rear-view mirror
I take in each little detail, oh
The future, just an instant past
Lies in my rear-view mirror
I suck in each little detail, oh
That one day, you ask me
Hey, what would you do if you could do anything?
I was gonna dodge that question with a stupid joke
But you went on
Do it right now
Which reminds me, I think someone else once told me
There is no time like now, don't wait
I did not get it at the time
But I feel like your words
Made it clear, to me I get it now
So I won't forget what I see
In my dirty rear-view mirror
I take in each little detail, oh
The future, just an instant past
Lies in my rear-view mirror
I suck in each little detail, oh
All those shadows on the horizon beckoning me, all these people
Speeding right past me, as they go
So I won't forget what I see
In my dirty rear-view mirror
I take in each little detail, oh
The future, just an instant past
Lies in my rear-view mirror
I suck in each little detail, oh
So I won't forget what I see
In my dirty rear-view mirror
I take in each little detail, oh
The future, just an instant past
Lies in my rear-view mirror
I suck in each little detail, oh
