[Hook] Watching life go by through the rear window Watching life go by through the rear window Hit the gas, going fast Hit the brakes, [....take it?] Watching life go by through the rear window [Verse 1] Is it a reason why the ocean is blue Is it a reason why the sky is too Some say brown eyes turn blue, is that true That love can change the eye color of a fool I guess, we all play the fool, the first rule The first guideline, in the game of playing it cool Some think playing it cool is just playing you That's if you wear your heart on your sleeve, and it's in plain view Then I can see all the bullsh** that you've been through And you can see all the bullsh** that I've been through Sitting as my pa**enger looking through my rear view You can see my past behind me, but behind you, I see A veil, white dress with a long tail And maybe one day, I can be that groom When you confront your past, you see what's true I just hope it isn't too late for me and you [Hook] [Verse 2] Going through my mind, picking out memories Each painful thought comes with a penalty And each happy one, it comes with a price I guess penalties and prices are just a part of life I take it how it comes, I take it by the tongues Then take something that numbs that's stronger than Tums I take a drag, pa** around the bag like the bums Do with the cardboard cribs in the slums Looking through the rear view without a clear view Of what's to come, so I let the engine run Every time I come by the spot Today, I might not even stop It may sound phony but that's just how I feel It may be phony, but I'm just being real Life ain't a game about luck, it ain't about sk** I can't say I never change, because I'm changing still [Hook] Watching life go by through the rear window Watching life go by through the rear window Hit the gas, going fast Hit the brakes, [....?] Watching life go by through the rear window Watching life go by through the rear window Watching life go by through the rear window Watching life go by through the rear window
