Old Love Song
Eva Avila Lyrics

Wandering around in the city
Roaming aimlessly in the town, lost and without direction

Nothing like my sweet hometown
This place is not even remotely similar to the singer's hometown.

Everybody seems so pretty
The people here seem to be visually attractive and appealing to the singer.

Trying to keep my feet on the ground
Trying to stay grounded and realistic despite distractions

And I just bought these brand new clothes
The Speaker has recently purchased new garments.

So why am I still feeling blue
Feeling sad and melancholic even though he just shopped for new clothes

Something's still missing
Feeling incomplete or as though something is lacking

You'll take me home Like an old love song
The artist wants their beloved to help them go back home to a place of comfort and familiarity.

I could listen to that record all night long
The artist desires a sense of comfort from the familiarity of the song.

From these crazy days
Referring to difficult times and times of stress.

When it feels like everything is going wrong
Referring to a time when everything seems to be falling apart.

It gets easier when you play that old love song
The Speaker finds comfort and ease when he listens to the old love song.

Never knew how much I could miss you
The singer did not anticipate how much he would miss his loved one.

Never thought I'd feel this way
The singer did not anticipate feeling this emotional.

Took a thousand miles and a plane ride
The distance between the singer and the loved one is long, requiring air travel.

Now I think about you night and day
The artist is constantly thinking about their loved one.

I would leave these brand new clothes
The artist would give up his new clothes to be with his loved one.

Just so I could let you know
He is willing to make sacrifices to communicate with his loved one.

It was you that was missing
The one thing that was missing from the Speaker's life was the loved one

I've been busy chasing dreams
The artist has been preoccupied with pursuing personal aspirations.

Left behind the most beautiful thing
By pursuing dreams, the artist neglects the most beautiful thing in his life; his love

And all I know is I just wish you'd come back here and
The artist wants his lover to come and return to him.

Take me home From all these crazy days
The singer desires being taken home to a safer and more stable place.

It gets easier so much easier
Things become easier when you have someone by your side.

It gets easier when you play that old love song
The singer finds peace and tranquillity from listening to the old love song
