Old School Love
Eva Avila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing like my sweet hometown
Everybody seems so pretty
Trying to keep my feet on the ground
And I just bought these brand new clothes
So why am I still feeling blue
Something's still missing
I just figured out
You'll take me home
Like an old love song
I could listen to that record all night long
You'll take me away
From all these crazy days
When it feels like everything is going wrong
It gets easier when you play that old love song
Never knew how much I could miss you
Never thought I'd feel this way
Took a thousand miles and a plane ride
Now I think about you night and day
I would leave these brand new clothes
Just so I could let you know
It was you that was missing
I just figured it out
You'll take me home
Like an old love song
I could listen to that record all night long
You'll take me away
From all these crazy days
When it feels like everything is going wrong
It gets easier when you play that old love song
I've been busy chasing dreams
Left behind the most beautiful thing
And all I know is I just wish you'd come back here and
Take me home
Like an old love song
I could listen to that record all night long
You'll take me away
From all these crazy days
When it feels like everything is going wrong
When you play that old love song
Like an old love song
I could listen to that record all night long
You'll take me away
From all these crazy days
When it feels like everything is going wrong
It gets easier, so much easier
It gets easier when you play that old love song
The lyrics of Eva Avila's "Old Skool Love" express the feeling of being lost and missing something. The singer is wandering around in the city and nothing feels like home. Despite buying new clothes, she still feels blue and realizes that something is still missing. However, she knows that listening to an old love song can take her back to a place of familiarity and comfort. The song acts as a sort of time machine that brings her back to simpler times when everything was easier and love was pure. The lyrics also express the sadness inherent in long-distance relationships - the pain of wanting to be with someone but being too far away to do so. The singer misses her beau terribly and feels as though she has left something beautiful behind.
The lyrics further show the evolution of a person throughout the years. The singer acknowledges that she has been busy chasing her dreams and that she has left behind the most beautiful thing. In this case, it's her love interest. However, the song ends on a hopeful note with the promise that things get easier when she plays an old love song. It's a reminder that it's possible to go back to simpler times no matter how lost we feel in the moment.

This describes my situation so well! I am always the last to fall, but dude, you fucking have me. It's a little troubling, and a whole lot terrifying.
