Lyrics: TobyMac – Rearview ft Juan Winans
Just woke up from another bad dream
I did the thing my daddy did to us
When he walked out on my mother
That trauma left us scrambling for cover
I’m being haunted by the question
Did the apple fall far enough?
And it’s on me like a vulture
All these fears tryna shape me like a sculptor
Cause I be hangin up and then you call back
I pick it up and then I’m right back
And every time I let you come around
You pullin’ me down
I’m bad with it
I hit the valleys, but I passed through
I see the failures, but I can’t lose
I think it’s finally time to tell you
I put that trouble in my rearview
Step down, down
I step down on them letdowns
My top down going outta town
I switched it up for something brand new
I put that trouble in my rearview
Been seeing double for a long time
Can’t keep my eyes up off the rewind
I’m back and forth like the ocean
Tryna to move ahead but the past is ferocious
Heavy days turn to heavy nights
But heavy love makes a burden light
There’s only one I can turn to
King of today and the King of my rearview
I turn around it’s like I never left
Your mercy’s gotta be my greatest gift
I get in a little too deep
It’s easy to see
I’m bad with it
I hit the valleys, but I passed through
I see the battles, but I can’t lose
I think it’s finally time to tell you
I put them troubles in my rearview
We movin’ on, we movin’
We movin’ on, we movin’
We movin’ on, we movin’
I put them troubles in my rearview
(Movin’ on)
We movin’ on, we movin’ (Yeah, I’m movin’ on)
We movin’ on, we movin’ (Yeah, I’m movin’ on)
We movin’ on, we movin’(I pray you’re movin’ on)
I put them troubles in my rearview
I put them troubles in my rearview
I put that trouble in my rearview
