Rearview Mirror
I'll take you home
I think it's getting late
You know how your folks get
When they have to wait
Good thing I only had a couple
Lucky I saved up for this car
Thank God it's just a mile further
A little dizzy so I can't drive very far
Headlights burning through my eyelids
And where the hell's the steering wheel?
Pictures flashing in the rearview mirror
Like photos on a movie reel
Should've taken that last left turn
Should've stopped at the traffic light
Feels a little bit like flying real fast
When you're driving this late at night
Maybe I shouldn't have drank that last beer
Why did I let you get inside the car?
I can't be swerving - didn't have too many
So why's this car spinning more and more?
I'm sorry that I took you with me
Sorry that I chose to drive
Sorry that I gambled baby
Sorry that I bet with both our lives
I can't even find the gas break
How did I let it come to this
Didn't even see that big tree coming
There wasn't even time to try and miss
