Rearview

Daydreams spinning through my mind, but never linger long enough to sweep into a pile Daydreams, inspiration fleeting, think I've caught it in my hand, then it's gone, gone again Fragments of a narrative, jumbled out of time And I swear I'll never feel that thing again Did I waste it all away, sell it off for my security, afraid now I have too much to lose I can't quite hear the melody, a nightmare come true Is the best of me fading in the rearview Daydreams, I've been here before, photographs of someone I once knew from long ago Daydreams, who is this I'm seeing Caught a glimpse of my old friend, then she's gone, gone again Fragments of a narrative, jumbled out of time And I swear I'll never feel that thing again Did I waste it all away, sell it off for my security, afraid now I have too much to lose I can't quite hear the melody, a nightmare come true Is the best of me fading in the rearview Then the frame comes into focus The expectations were set, I never fit in your mold, you didn't want me to grow And what I lost on the way, I've come back now to reclaim Then it all goes out of focus Daydreams, or did I fall asleep, out here on my own again, no secrets left to keep Fragments of a narrative, jumbled out of time And I swear I'll never feel that thing again Did I waste it all away, sell it off for my security, afraid now I have too much to lose I can't quite hear the melody, a nightmare come true Is the best of me fading in the rearview Then the frame goes out of focus
