Objects In The Mirror

 - OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR –

The love was purer then it had ever been,
And the sun was brighter than we'd ever seen.
That summer night in august -
When she re-awoke our dream.

It was an endless summer and "our" future called,
"We" were ready for the ride and "we" wanted to feel.
We once again had our golden path -
and had all the time in the world to make it real.

But now we feel the sting of tears -
They say everything must crash and burn -
And we may never learn why "our" world took this turn.

It seems so long ago and so far away, oh Godz it seems so very far -
And if life is an endless highway, then our heart must be the car,
And Meat Loaf may have been right when he said...
Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.
It seems it was so long ago, and Godz it IS so far away -
Our heart just burns through the miles and we have to say,
As the distance increases in the rear view...
The love is a slowly fading star.

And then came the falling of light, and the darkness rose,
we started acting crazy, as everyone now knows.
We felt defeated and betrayed and dangerous -
And corroded by failure and envy and hate.

Love became an endless winter and the golden path did freeze,
With nowhere to hide our emotions slowly started to seize.
And our heart slowly withered -
As she stabbed it again and again and again.

We always believed she would never leave -
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years -
And we may never learn all the way's that we can greave.

It seems so long ago and so far away, oh Godz it seems so very far -
And if life is an endless highway, then our heart must be the car,
And Meat Loaf may have been right when he said...
Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.
It seems it was so long ago, and Godz it IS so far away -
Our heart just burns through the miles and we have to say,
As the distance increases in the rear view...
The love is a slowly fading star.

And though the nightmares should be over,
All of the terrors and fears remain intact.
We hear the ugly comments so much violence in her voice...
As she pushes us away and then slowly drags us back.

Now she's in her own spring and we try everything,
To find solace or salvation each night.
We got our dreams torn, all "The Fear" reborn -
And nothing we try ever turns out right.

We'll probably never know how her love disappeared -
But she's the only one we can see in the back seat now -
Just like an angel following us to our tomb.

It seems so long ago and so far away, oh Godz it seems so very far -
And if life is an endless highway, then our heart must be the car,
And Meat Loaf may have been right when he said...
Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.
It seems it was so long ago, and Godz it IS so far away -
Our heart just burns through the miles and we have to say,
As the distance increases in the rear view...
The love is a slowly fading star.

And The Objects In The Rear View Mirror
May Appear Closer Than They Are.
And The Star Light In That Mirror Never Fades
Or Recedes Very Far....
