Jacob Thompson - Rose Colored Rear View Lyrics

It was just what I needed
To take the chips off my shoulders
Stacking pallets in the morning sun
On the run from everything and everyone I loved

We met up at the station
Caught a bus headed southbound
Watching the sunset up on the hill
And now I still think of you when the summer stars come out

I know it's been years since we talked
But I can't get you off of my mind
Was it really as good as we thought
Or does it all just look better
In the Rose Colored Rear View

I got the skyline behind me
On these empty roads home
I guess I got what I wanted
But if I'm honest was it worth it if I feel this alone

What do they say about hindsight
And does it apply to you and I
Just 19 with 20 miles between us
Now I wonder who you're giving those eyes to

I know it's been years since we talked
But I can't get you off of my mind
Was it really as good as we thought
Or does it all just look better
In the Rose Colored Rear View

Was it right or was it just the right time
Was it right or was it just the right time
And is it you that I'm missing on nights like these
Or a past that I've romanticized

I know it's been years since we talked
But I have to know what's on your mind
Was it really as good as I thought
Or does it all just look better
In the Rose Colored Rear View
