Rose Colored Rear View

It was just what I needed To take the chips off my shoulders Stacking pallets in the morning sun On the run from everything and everyone I loved We met up at the station Caught a bus headed southbound Watching the sunset up on the hill And now I still think of you when the summer stars come out I know it's been years since we talked But I can't get you off of my mind Was it really as good as we thought Or does it all just look better In the Rose Colored Rear View I got the skyline behind me On these empty roads home I guess I got what I wanted But if I'm honest was it worth it if I feel this alone What do they say about hindsight And does it apply to you and I Just 19 with 20 miles between us Now I wonder who you're giving those eyes to I know it's been years since we talked But I can't get you off of my mind Was it really as good as we thought Or does it all just look better In the Rose Colored Rear View Was it right or was it just the right time Was it right or was it just the right time And is it you that I'm missing on nights like these Or a past that I've romanticized I know it's been years since we talked But I have to know what's on your mind Was it really as good as I thought Or does it all just look better In the Rose Colored Rear View
