about

Rear View is about how memories can sometimes weigh us down, and sometimes anchor us.

lyrics

We piled out onto the street
Our heads full of ourselves
The sweat barely dry on our skin
The noise in our ears still ringing as we
Look ahead to the next thing
Our dreams feed-back
Loud until
We sleep like babies on the backseat

And how could I not look back?
The sky's on fire
It's just the smoke in my eyes
Making the view seem blurry
The motorway hums its lullaby
There's only one way but I'm still
Carrying all this weight
It's heavier on my own

It's heavier still
As I turn to the empty passenger seat
Reminded of something funny
We did when we did it all in sync

And I can't help but linger
Passing our old turning
The corner shop where we'd stock up
That bit by the river we lay down our plans
And how do you do it
Travel light, look straight ahead
While this weight in me
Now my anchor, now my chain

It's heavier still
As I turn to the empty passenger seat
Reminded of something funny
We did when we did it all in sync
It's heavier still
As I turn to the empty passenger seat
Reminded of something funny
We did when we did it all in sync
