Rain in the Rearview

I watched the lights blur through the rain

Another night another lane

The wiper's rhythm matches mine

A broken beat stuck out of time

You left with thunder in your tone

Now all I drive is what's unknown

There's rain in the rearview clear ahead

But I keep staring back instead

You're not behind me I know it's true

But storms still look a lot like you

The roads we took still call my name

But now they don't feel quite the same

Each turn reminds me what I lack

Each mile a thought I can't take back

Your ghost rides quiet by my side

A silence I no longer hide

There's rain in the rearview clear ahead

But I keep staring back instead

You're not behind me I know it's true

But storms still look a lot like you

Maybe one day I'll shift the gear

And drive beyond the past I fear

But tonight your name's my only view

In every drop I run to you

There's rain in the rearview and I stay

Tracing you in drops and gray

You left me long before you knew

But I still chase the road to you

And if the sky begins to clear

I'll lose the shape of you in here
