The Past Is the Past Songtext
von Brandy Clark

Walked to the driveway
Opened the door to the car
Turned the key
Found your future in that pedal on the floor

Hands on the wheel
Eyes straight ahead
I won′t be in that rear view
Oh, tomorrow where you're going when you get there

Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your heartbreak beat to the radio

This is where the past is the past
Where the meant-to-be′s ain't meant to last
Where the "maybe we can work it out" turns into "maybe we can't"
This is where the memories we missed
Are catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin′ turns to knowin′ that there ain't no going back
This is where the past is the past


I′ve been paintin' the bedroom
I′ve been workin' a lot
Boxin′ up all the used to be's
Forgetting things 'til it′s all been forgot

Lettin′ you go
Lettin' you go
Let my heartbreak beat to the radio

This is where the past is the past
Where the meant-to-be′s ain't meant to last
Where the "maybe we can work it out" turns into "maybe we can′t"
This is where the memories we missed
Are catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin' turns to knowin′ that there ain't no going back
This is where the past is the past

Only time can say what we're taking from it
We say goodbye like it helps, but we know it doesn′t
Yeah, we thought it was, but in the end it just wasn′t

Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll

This is where the past is the past
Where the past is the past


Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
