The radio says it's 5 pm
Driving through the empty day
The wipers battle endless rain
Slow motion death on a fast lane
One glimpse in the mirror
To forget for a while
And I saw your face
I saw your smile
So far behind, yet so near
Objects in the mirrors are closer
Than they appear
(appear in the mirrors)
...are closer than they appear
(appear in the mirrors)
Are closer
Than they appear
Warm summer night, a water's edge
Your sparkling skin, the distant lights
This life - I said - seems just too still
It's time to move on higher gear
If that's what you wish - you said -
- Follow your falling star
I'll be waiting here
Watching from afar
So far behind, yet so near
Objects in the mirrors are closer
Than they appear
(appear in the mirrors)
Are closer
Than they appear
(appear in the mirrors)
Are closer
Than they appear
I've passed through the crossroads of temptation
I had my roundabouts of thoughts
I stopped by the avenue of shattered dreams
I missed all highways heading home
To the country road that leads you down
To the water's edge
On cloudless nights the air is still
The lake reflects...
The lights reflect in my red eyes
I see myself so multiplied
Frames ahead and frames behind
A dead end interstate of mind
Driving me crazy
On this one way track
And I can't pull up
And I can't turn back
Or fall behind to disappear among
Objects in the mirrors no matter
They seem so near
(in the mirrors)
Are closer
Than they appear
(in the mirrors)
Are closer
Than they appear
Appear
If you really loved me
How could you let me go?
If you really loved me
I had to let you go
If you really loved me
How could you let me go?
If you really loved me
I had to let you go
If you really loved me
How could you let me go?
If you really loved me
I had to let you go
I had to let you go
You had to let me go
You had to let me go
You had to let me - let me go
