I drive a checker cab
I work the airport
I see them come and I see them go
To me, it's all the same
I don't ask questions
I do my job and I watch the show
Lost in the flow

Love in the rearview mirror
Happens all the time
They don't even know I'm there
Caught up in a world
Of breathless desire
Sharing their secrets

I thought I knew her well
She'd always be there
I did my job and the bills got paid
(I barely got enough to even get)
So many little things
I should have told her
So many plans that were left unlaid
Watching her fade

Love in the rearview mirror
Temporary bliss
Nothing you can hold on to
Aching for the life that left you behind
Walking the wire, yeah

Sometimes I catch a glimpse
I wonder, is that me?
Where's my sense of humor gone?
Love's inventions are such a mystery
Is it any wonder we remain strangers?

Love in the rearview mirror
Happens all the time
They don't even know I'm there
Caught up in a world
Of breathless desire
Sharing their secrets

Someone's coming up behind
And I see what I see
And it blows my mind
(Don't you touch me, girl)
I thought that I knew her so well
But you just never know
No, you never can tell

Someone's coming up behind
And I see what I see
And it blows my mind
(I don't wanna be in love)
I thought that I knew her so well
But you just never know
No, you never can tell
