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Familiar taste lingerin’, but the connection’s withdrawn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
