Lyrics
In The Rear View
I don?t want to hang up the phone
It?s nice to hear you
Don?t say you have to go
And leave just a taste of you on my mind
You only call now and then
I?m waiting
But you don?t want to talk too long
It creates a wrinkle in your easy chair
And in your silence
Chorus
Is it love, love, love, love
Baby, I just don?t know
Whatever it is it?s got me too
Is it love, love, love, love
Or something we can?t let go of
Our hearts keep glancing in the rear view
Baby, I don?t want to hang up the phone
Not until later
You called to live this lie
With a quick goodbye do I go away
But what about your silence
Chorus
Is it love, love, love, love
Baby, I just don?t know
Whatever it is it?s got me too
Is it love, love, love, love
Or something we can?t let go of
Our hearts keep glancing in the rear view
