Old School Love

​[Intro]

Atmospheric Vinyl Crackle

Soft Soul Guitar Intro

(Soft humming)

Yeah…

I’m talking ’bout that kind of love

that survives hard times.

No switching up overnight.

No disappearing when life gets ugly.

Just two people…

choosing each other over and over again.

Oh-oh…

Mmm…

​[Chorus]

I want that old school love,

Letters in a shoebox, slow dance under moonlight love.

Barefoot in the kitchen while the record player spins,

Holding onto us when the hard part begins.

I want that stay-around trust,

Built from patience, tears, and us.

A heart that don’t fold when the nights get cold,

Real love that never gets old.

​[Verse 1]

Back then they would fix things, now they just erase it,

One bad night, one wrong text, and people replace it.

Everybody running when the pressure gets deep,

Nobody really fighting for the promises they keep.

See, I want Sunday mornings with the coffee brewing slow,

Marvin playing softly while the rain taps the window.

Hand in yours at the red light, world moving outside,

But inside your smile got me feeling alright.

No fake likes, no attention addiction,

No “seen at 2:00” causing unnecessary tension.

Just late-night talks till the sunrise appear,

Best friends becoming lovers year after year.

​[Pre-Chorus]

Vocal Harmony

No faking the feeling,

No walls to the ceiling,

Just your truth mixed with mine,

Like old records frozen in time.

​[Chorus]

I want that old school love,

Letters in a shoebox, slow dance under moonlight love.

Barefoot in the kitchen while the record player spins,

Holding onto us when the hard part begins.

I want that stay-around trust,

Built from patience, tears, and us.

A heart that don’t fold when the nights get cold,

Real love that never gets old.

​[Verse 2]

I want dates where the phones stay hidden,

Just your laugh filling spaces the world been missing.

Drive-in movies and midnight drives through the rain,

Long walks after fights just to heal the pain.

I want your rough days, your stress, your scars,

The overthinking nights and the emotional wars.

Cause real love ain’t always candlelight and romance,

Sometimes it’s staying when life don’t make sense.

I don’t need diamonds shining all over the room,

I need loyalty that still survives the gloom.

A love so deep you can feel it in silence,

Even after years and miles and violence.

Still stealing kisses like we both eighteen,

Still acting nervous every time you look at me.

​[Bridge]

Music builds slightly

Emotional Peak

Nowadays love move fast, disappear in a blink,

Swipe left, ghosted, nobody stopping to think.

Everybody searching for attention instead,

While real connection slowly hanging by a thread.

But somewhere out there, I know somebody still believes,

In porch lights, vinyl nights, and hearts on sleeves.

Someone still praying for a love that survives,

The kind that stays even after the butterflies die.

I’ll find you…

Yeah, I’ll find you.

​[Final Chorus]

I want that old school love,

Black-and-white-photo-on-the-wall love.

Dancing barefoot underneath the porch light glow,

Still choosing each other when we both grow old.

I want that weather-any-storm kind of trust,

Built from hard nights, healing, and us.

A heart that still feels young when the whole world cold,

Real love that never gets old.

​[Outro]

Vinyl slowing down

(Soft humming)

Maybe love didn’t disappear…

Maybe people just forgot

how to stay.
