Verse 1
Driving fast on a quiet stretch, winter sky pale and gray
Phone on speaker, stories spilling, ordinary day
Then I saw it—red, six wheels, impossible, familiar hue
My stomach clenched, my hands slick with memory, there he was, in view
Verse 2
I gripped the wheel, heart hammering, unsure if he knew
The curve of the bumper, the hum of the engine—only one I ever knew
Memories crashed like firelight, tangled sheets, whispered names
Every laugh, every freckle, every stolen, fleeting flame
Chorus
Red truck in my rearview, racing through my soul
A comet passing by, a love I can’t control
I can’t go back, can’t hold on, but I can’t let go
Red truck in my rearview, a love I’ll always know
Verse 3
By the firelight that night, the world shrunk to just us two
Legs curled in his lap, laughter, warmth, and midnight hues
He claimed me softly, every glance, every subtle move
I memorized his heartbeat, the way he lit every room
Verse 4
Morning came too fast, coffee and autumn air
Every touch, every look, left me painfully aware
Some loves don’t stay, some nights are only borrowed time
But the fire they start leaves its mark, written deep in your mind
Chorus (Repeat)
Red truck in my rearview, racing through my soul
A comet passing by, a love I can’t control
I can’t go back, can’t hold on, but I can’t let go
Red truck in my rearview, a love I’ll always know
Bridge
I feel him in the shadows, tucked into every dream
A spark that wakes me up, a fire that makes me lean
Into memory, into longing, into what was real
A love that leaves a pulse you carry long after the thrill
Chorus (Final)
Red truck in my rearview, racing through my soul
Memories hit like lightning, spinning out of control
I can’t go back, can’t hold on, but I can’t let go
Red truck in my rearview, a love I’ll always know
