Smells Like Old Spirit

[Verse 1]
I spin my records ‘til the needle cries
Polaroid smiles with the yellowed skies
Corded phone rings, but I let it die
Wrote my texts with a fountain pen sigh

[Pre-Chorus]
Black and white dreams in a neon world
Old soul hiding in a flag unfurled

[Chorus]
Here we are now, out of timing
Here we are now, silver lining
Shake the dust off, keep rewinding
Smells like old spirit — still aligning

[Verse 2]
I dress like TV from a static frame
Dance to songs that don’t know my name
Flip through pages with a coffee stain
Past keeps calling, future sounds the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Faded posters in a bedroom shrine
Old soul singing through a tangled line

[Chorus]
Here we are now, out of timing
Here we are now, silver lining
Shake the dust off, keep rewinding
Smells like old spirit — still aligning

[Bridge]
I play my mixtape on the bus to nowhere
Leather jacket creaks like an old love affair
They say I’m stuck — I say I’m rare
In a world too fast, I like it square

[Final Chorus]
Here we are now, slow but shining
Here we are now, vinyl binding
Shake the dust off, keep rewinding
Smells like old spirit — still aligning

[Outro]
Needle sleeps…
I press repeat…
Old spirit breathes…
In me.
