  • In my rear view
    I watch you watching the twilight
    Behind the telephone lines
    With nothing to prove, or to assume
    Just thinking that your thoughts are different than mine
    In my rear view
    I watch you
    And I gave you your life, would you give me mine

    I see you slowly swim away
    'Cause the light is leaving town
    To a place that I can't be
    But there's no apologies

    Just go on
    Just go on
    There's still so many things
    I wanna say to you
    Go on
    Just go on
    We're bound by blood that's moving
    From the moment that we start
    From the moment that we start

    I see your perfect little lies
    Watch the shadows of the clouds
    And the surface of the ocean out the window of a plane
    I get nervous when I fly
    I'm used to walking with my feet

    Turbulence is like a sigh that I can't help but over think

    What is the purpose of my life
    If it doesn't ever do
    With learning to let it go
    Live vicariously through
    You could do the same
    It's the least you could do
    'Cause it's a lonely little chain
    If you don't add to it

    Go on
    Just go on
    There's still so many things
    I wanna say to you
    Go on
    Just go on
    We're bound by blood and love
    From the moment that we start
    Just go on
    Just go on
    There's still so many things
    I wanna say to you
    Just go on
    Just go on
    We're bound by blood that's moving
    From the moment that we start
    From the moment that we start Writer/s: Jack Hody Johnson
