Lyrics
In the highway of it all, the mirror put the past in view
And all the places that I?ve been can?t compare with those I?m going to
And I was tempted to turn around in fear of what could lie ahead
But I gripped the wheel and kept driving instead
And we don?t see what?s in front of us till it?s too far behind
And I will catch up with you on the rewind of another time gone by
I?m letting it go
I could feel what could?ve been trying to make me misbehave
But I?ll take those skeletons with me to my grave
Maybe the things we think about were never the best to have in mind
But failing to see everything is no better than being blind
And look at me, so manically, I gotta have it, it?s out of habit
Look at us the formula?s just a circle running ?round the carousel of my heart
Bringing me back to the start
If I could greet the younger me, I?d put me in my place
Tell her of my big future so be sure to take up plenty of space
If I could greet the older me, I?d surely shake her hand
And ask her if it turned out alright even if not according to the plan.
