[Verse 1]
Used to fix my own old car
Bent keys
Tape on the stereo
Granddad swore by paper maps
Said
“If you know
You know”
Now the phone tells me each turn
Talks back like it knows my name
Every shortcut
Every red light
Feels like it’s all pre‑framed
[Chorus]
Old ways
New days
Did we lose it or just change?
Are we drifting or awake?
I’m still learning what to save
Old ways
New days
In the middle of the maze
I keep hearing in my veins
Those old ways in new days
[Verse 2]
Mom kept numbers on the fridge
Ink stains on the kitchen phone
Now it’s faces in a glass
Buzzing when I’m all alone
We don’t ring
We only write
Little dots on a glowing screen
But I still laugh the way we did
Back when fifteen felt like free
[Chorus]
Old ways
New days
Did we lose it or just change?
Are we drifting or awake?
I’m still learning what to save
Old ways
New days
In the middle of the maze
I keep hearing in my veins
Those old ways in new days
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s not gone
Just hiding in new clothes (oh oh)
Same heart
Same old song
Under all this overload
If I look up
Past the glass and the glare
I still see you
And that’s still there
[Chorus]
Old ways
New days
Did we lose it or just change?
Are we drifting or awake?
I’m still learning what to save
Old ways
New days
In the middle of the maze
I keep hearing in my veins
Those old ways in new days (yeah)
Old ways
New days
Old ways in new days
