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-vier 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 asked me
Hey what would you do
If you could do anything
I was gonna dodge the 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-vier 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 of they go

So I won't forget what I see
In my dirty rear-vier 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-vier 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
