Rearview Resolute
Midnight on the dashboard.
No rewind.
Yeah.
Rain on the glass,
got the skyline bent,
Three missed calls and the tank half spent.
Red lights blink while the whole block sleeps,
Got plans I don't put up on feeds.
Old map folded on the passenger side,
Wrong turns taught me a different drive.
Same black jacket, new frame of mind,
Cut through the static,
leave noise behind. They want answers before you begin,
I let the work talk,
disappear again. One more exit,
the road turns blue,
Lost a few things but I found what's true.
Clock on the dash says a quarter to five,
Still got a pulse and a reason to ride.
No rewind, let the taillights fade,
Can't replay every choice I made.
New road,
same fire, straight through the night,
No rewind, got my own green light.
Turn it up, let the low end fly,
Watch the old world shrink in the rearview light.
No rewind, no second try,
Still moving when the sun gets high.
Fast lane,
slow thoughts, both hands steady,
Whole world talking, I'm already ready.
No rented image,
no borrowed glow,
I know what I know,
and what I don't.
Late-night diner,
cold cup of tea,
Bright little screens can't tell me who to be.
Been down side streets with no clear sign,
Made a few mistakes,
still called them mine.
New names pop up,
old numbers go dead,
Some conversations stay inside your head.
Beat keeps knocking like a fist on the door,
City keeps asking what you're waiting for.
Switch that lane, let the engine breathe,
Nothing worth keeping comes with guarantees.
No rewind, let the taillights fade,
Can't replay every choice I made.
New road,
same fire, straight
through the night, No rewind,
got my own green light.
Turn it up, let the low end fly,
Watch the old world shrink in the rearview light.
No rewind, no second try,
Still moving when the sun gets high.
(no rewind)
New dawn, low clouds,
silver on the road,
Nobody sees the weight when you carry it alone.
Snapback, backpack, ticket in my coat,
Small talk fades when the big plans grow.
Too many people got a script for my life,
I don't read their lines,
I just write mine twice.
Quick feet, clear head,
eyes on the turn,
Every hard lesson was a lesson earned.
No drama, no cameras,
no need to perform,
Stay calm while the whole sky storms.
When the beat cuts out,
hear the tires on stone,
Not afraid of a stretch I walk on my own.
Sun comes up on a different street,
Same heartbeat underneath that beat.
Let the headlights wash the walls.
Let the unanswered numbers call.
Every ending changes shape.
I keep moving anyway.
No rewind, let the taillights fade,
Can't replay every choice I made.
New road, same fire,
straight through the night,
No rewind, got my own green light.
Turn it up, let the low end fly,
Watch the old world shrink in the rearview light.
No rewind, no second try,
Still moving when the sun gets high.
No rewind.
Keep driving.
