[Verse 1]
You left your brush on my sink
Brown hair caught up in the bristles
Your sweater still on my chair
Sleeves folded up like a signal
Two mugs cold on the table
Lip gloss print on the rim
Funny how every small thing
Got your shadow in it
[Chorus]
You’re the brunette in my rearview
Fading, but I still see you clear
Every mile that I put between us
Pulls your name up in my ear
I keep driving from your driveway
But my heart don’t leave that street
Brunette in my rearview
Still riding in the passenger seat (yeah)
[Verse 2]
We used to joke ’bout forever
Now I just scroll through your page
New dress, same brown curls
Different guy standin’ on my stage
I ain’t bitter, I’m just tired
Of rehearsing what I’d say
“If you miss me, just admit it”
Then I delete it anyway
[Chorus]
You’re the brunette in my rearview
Fading, but I still see you clear
Every mile that I put between us
Pulls your name up in my ear
I keep driving from your driveway
But my heart don’t leave that street
Brunette in my rearview
Still riding in the passenger seat (oh)
[Bridge]
If he kisses you soft, I hope you smile
Hope he waits on your words, not your style
But if tears hit that pillow at night
You can call, I’ll pretend we’re alright (hey)
[Chorus]
You’re the brunette in my rearview
Fading, but I still see you clear
Every mile that I put between us
Pulls your name up in my ear
I keep driving from your driveway
But my heart don’t leave that street
Brunette in my rearview
First love that I wanted to keep
