Hopped back in time to a world that was once mine Old school’s still there, but the vibe ain’t fine Classroom echoes float, but the laughter is erased Walkin' through these halls, man, they just feel misplaced Buildings made of memories, but they feel so cold Haunting me in shadows of stories never told You can go back to the past, but it’s empty and bare The love that once thrived, man, it just isn’t there Time keeps moving, but I'm stuck in this loop Searching for comfort in a forgotten troop House where I grew, but the warmth’s disappeared Rooms filled with silence, echoes of what I feared Coffee shop’s still brewin’, but the barista’s gone Familiar taste lingerin’, but the connection’s withdrawn Streets I once roamed, but they feel like a ghost Faces like strangers, memories I miss the most You can go back to the past, but it’s empty and bare The love that once thrived, man, it just isn’t there Time keeps moving, but I'm stuck in this loop Searching for comfort in a forgotten troop So I carry these echoes, let them shape my song For the past is a canvas, but the present is strong
