Side Mirror Lyrics by Driveways

Side Mirror

2016

[Verse 1]
Nothing short of nightmares
Creeps up in my fears
I told you check the side mirror (told you check the side!)
No anticipation
No hesitation
I told you check the side mirror (told you check the side!)

[Verse 2]
This distance gives you closure
Over exposure
It’s tough to keep you sober (it’s tough to keep you sober!)
These phones calls hold you over
But this bridge is so burnt
So go ahead check the side mirror (go ahead check the side!)

[Chorus]
I’m fucking terrified
You’ve been inside and terrorized this better life
It’s been a lie since 10/09
October Sky
You told me why
We’d never drift apart
But I should have checked the side

[Verse 3]
Impatience is a virtue
Prescriptions burn through
It’s not worth what they turn you into (not worth what they turn you into!)
I still can’t find the words to
Fall on deaf ears on how you wasted ten years
But you never checked the side mirror

[Chorus]
I’m fucking terrified (I'm drifting away)
You’ve been inside and terrorized this better life (I'm drifting away)
It’s been a lie since 10/09
October Sky (I'm drifting away)
You told me why
We’d never drift apart (I'm drifting away)
But I should have checked the side

I’m fucking terrified (I'm drifting away)
You’ve been inside and terrorized this better life (I'm drifting away)
It’s been a lie since 10/09
October Sky (I'm drifting away)
You told me why
We’d never drift apart (I'm drifting away)
But I should have checked the side

[Outro]
I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
