Driving Backwards

One, two, three, four Old scents of smoke and coffee surround me And empty paper cup you tossed beneath my feet Your favourite tape is playing on repeat Polaroids of our love you wouldn't keep There's a man in the rearview mirror He wants to see me cry Now things are getting clearer But I ain't got the time I'm driving so fast Don't pretend to stop me I'm hitting on the gas Just like I watched you do I'm not yours anymore I left the old me behind No driving backwards this time No driving backwards this time Creating distance leads me closer to myself Your imagined self slowly fades away You can keep what you were never willing to give Love, trust, honesty, and my favourite shirt There's a man in the rearview mirror He wants to see me cry Now things are getting clearer But I ain't got the time I'm driving so fast Don't pretend to stop me I'm hitting on the gas Just like I watched you do I'm not yours anymore I left the old me behind No driving backwards this time No driving backwards this time I remember our movie night When everything just felt so right You fell asleep in my arms that night Do you even care? There's a man in the rearview mirror He wants to see me try Now things are getting clearer But I ain't got the time I'm driving so fast Don't pretend to stop me I'm hitting on the gas Just like I watched you do I'm not yours anymore I left the old me behind No driving backwards this time No driving backwards this time No driving backwards this time No driving backwards this time
