  • Hey there, pretty girl
    You've got everybody's eyes
    It's five dollars at the door
    But you ain't gotta pay tonight
    'Cause the moon is shining golden
    Like a fallen angel holding your spotlight
    I feel it flooding back into me
    Watch my memories like a movie

    In my rose colored rearview
    Where everything is brand new
    And everything is gonna be alright (everything is gonna be alright)
    I may be the one to blame
    Still I'm pouring pink champagne on the fire
    When the truth don't set me free
    Well, I like the lies I see
    In my rose colored rearview
    Rose colored rearview

    So hold the ghosts at bay
    I can't talk to you tonight
    Go do what you do best
    Run away and hide
    And if you don't go then I will
    'Cause I know how to take the keys and drive
    I'm climbing out of my own shadow
    Blowing smoke and looking into

    My rose colored rearview
    Where everything is brand new
    Everything is gonna be alright (everything is gonna be alright)
    I may be the one to blame
    Still I'm pouring pink champagne on the fire
    When the truth don't set me free
    I kinda like the lies I see
    In my rose colored rearview
    Rose, rose, rose, rose (yeah, hey)

    Mirror, mirror on the wall
    You're the clearest of them all and I can't take it, nah
    One day I'll run out of gas, I know I can't outrun my past
    But I can fake it
    Tonight the truth is what I make it in my

    Rose colored rearview
    Where everything is brand new
    Everything is gonna be just fine (everything is gonna be just fine)
    I may be the one to blame
    Still I'm pouring pink champagne on the fire (pouring pink champagne on the fire)
    Singing La-dee-da, c'est-la-vie
    It's all the same to me
    In my rose colored rearview
    Rose colored rearview (yeah)
