rearview mirror

you're like a rearview mirror you see things closer than they appear they told you one of your eyes was weak and they made you a poster child for geeks with your pigtails and a patch on your eye now you've lost the glasses but you still don't know how strong your eyes are so you don't get too close cause people get scared and they steal all your clothes and they leave you alone that's how it always seems to go maybe it's just me but that's how it always seems to go chorus: i've been lookin at you and see you lookin at me and i can't figure out exactly what you're seein feels like you're lookin right through me at something i don't know there's something that i want you to know i'm like a tail-gaitin' bastard i get closer and people drive faster away from me but i thought that's how it's supposed to be i didn't know you were the way it's supposed to be now i've been lookin at you through my rearview mirror you're feelin as close as you appear i know i don't have the same problem with my eyes but i don't think that's where the weakness lies there's something in your eyes i see something in your eyes chorus
