Midnight In My Rearview
by John Bukenya
Lyrics
Intro
Tires talk
Ash on my lap
Red eyes
City in black
Verse 1
Mask on the dash
Cracked phone glow
Messages read
I still drive slow
Tattoo on my neck from a past I owe
Got a full tank fear
Let the engine roll
Empty backseat but I feel that stare
Mirror keeps twitching like something there
Heart sound louder than the road out here
I ain’t ran yet
But the route feel clear (yeah)
Chorus
Midnight in my rearview
Can’t escape the things I been through
Shadows in the backseat
Say “move”
But I just press the gas
See it all zoom
Midnight in my rearview
Every wrong turn look brand new
If the past pull up
Let it do what it do
I just ride
I just ride
Till the sky turn blue (ayy)
Verse 2
Cig burn holes in the seat like stars
Count each one for the times I scarred
Hood up high
But the faith worn thin
Still
I spin that block like it’s born again
Old house sign when I roll right past
Porch light dead
But the chill still last
Name in my head that I don’t say now
Only thing talk is the wheels on the ground (skrrt)
Chorus
Midnight in my rearview
Can’t escape the things I been through
Shadows in the backseat
Say “move”
But I just press the gas
See it all zoom
Midnight in my rearview
Every wrong turn look brand new
If the past pull up
Let it do what it do
I just ride
I just ride
Till the sky turn blue (yeah)
