Rear View (Inspired & Written for Miss Brandy Brooks)

The sun came out today But the rainbow's dark and gray When did days turn into months A couple shots to numb the pain But the forecast calls for rain So it's four walls talking all at once I could turn right when nothing is left Or turn left when nothing feels right Up against the fence I'm digging down Hoping that there's something to be found I keep looking out the rear view of my car When I'm looking out the windshield I see stars Wasted so much time on the back window When there's miles and miles of an open road Looking out the rear view of my car Opened up my curtains Saw just a little glimpse Of what was wrong with the chapter I've been on so long Shoulders used to weigh a ton I let go Now the forecast shows some sun Left the past behind now I see life All the broken pieces sat in my hallway Found a key now I am unchained Looking at the sky I'm seeing stars Driving down a oneway boulevard Looking out the windshield of my car Left behind the past I'm chasing stars Wasted so much time out the back window Now I see miles and miles of open road Looking out the windshield of my car Ay ay Driving down the boulevard look to my right I see four wheels spinning hard Stuck in mud it's something like my heart The dash counts every mile Baby spin it wide open count every smile Everyone could use an open field Watching bright lights under the night sky Feeling a connection like WiFi Something's burning in me like a fire I'm grounded like the rubber on my tires Looking out the windshield I saw you Left your mark on me like a tattoo All the butterflies like I've never known Keeps me driving on this open road Looking out the windshield I saw you
