Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (Edit) - Meat Loaf (密特·劳弗)[00:00:00]

Written by：Jim Steinman[00:00:09]

The skies were pure and the fields were green[00:00:18]

And the sun was brighter than its ever been[00:00:22]

When I grew up with my best friend Kenny[00:00:26]

We were close as any brothers than you ever knew[00:00:29]

It was always summer and the future called[00:00:35]

We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all[00:00:39]

And there was so much left to dream[00:00:43]

And so much time to make it real[00:00:47]

But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone[00:00:52]

They said he crashed and burned[00:01:00]

I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young[00:01:02]

We were racing we were soldiers of fortune[00:01:08]

We got in trouble but we sure got around[00:01:12]

There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark[00:01:16]

I think hes right behind me now and hes gaining ground[00:01:20]

But it was long ago and it was far away[00:01:29]

Oh god it seems so very far[00:01:33]

And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car[00:01:37]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:01:48]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:01:56]

And when the sun descended and the night arose[00:02:10]

I heard my father cursing everyone he knows[00:02:14]

He was dangerous and drunk and defeated[00:02:18]

And corroded by failure and envy and hate[00:02:21]

There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze[00:02:26]

Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees[00:02:31]

And my fathers eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again[00:02:35]

I know I still believe hed never let me leave[00:02:43]

I had to run away alone[00:02:47]

So many threats and fears so many wasted years before my life became[00:02:50]

My own[00:02:56]

And though the nightmares should be over[00:02:58]

Some of the terrors are still intact[00:03:02]

I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice[00:03:06]

And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back[00:03:10]

But it was long ago and it was far away[00:03:18]

Oh god it seems so very far[00:03:22]

And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car[00:03:26]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:03:36]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:03:44]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:03:52]

There was a beauty living on the edge of town[00:04:23]

And she always put the top up and the hammer down[00:04:27]

And she taught me everything I'll ever know[00:04:31]

About the mystery and the muscle of love[00:04:35]

Those were the rights of spring and we did everything[00:04:39]

There was salvation every night[00:04:43]

We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn[00:04:47]

But everything we tried was right[00:04:51]

She used her body just like a bandage[00:04:54]

She used my body just like a wound[00:04:58]

I'll probably never know where she disappeared[00:05:02]

But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now[00:05:06]

Just like an angel rising up from a tomb[00:05:10]

But it was long ago and it was far away[00:05:16]

Oh god it seems so very far[00:05:20]

And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car[00:05:24]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:05:33]

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are[00:05:41]
