Lyrics
everything is clear in the rear view mirror
the coast highway and the golden hour only love
nothing was lost
>
everything fits when you tell your story
the blurry portraits in the halls of former lovers gone
but nothing was lost
>
you'll always be a part of me
you gave me a song to sing dancing in your room innocent and true elvis tattoo on your shoulder
we'll know better when we're older
>
you'll always be a part of me
some wounds will always sting forever in full bloom barely twenty two summer days are growing colder
we'll know better when we're older
>
all of this was planned when the world was started
the red blood hearts the final word was never said
i'm tossing in my bed
>
but everything is clear in the rear view mirror
when nothing is left
the lights of evening round us shine pink and silver skies
>
you'll always be a part of me
you gave me a song to sing dancing in your room innocent and true elvis tattoo on your shoulder
we'll know better when we're older
>
you'll always be a part of me
some wounds will always sting forever in full bloom barely twenty two summer days are growing colder
we'll know better when we're older
