[Verse] Pages worn and whispers thin, Fingers trail where words have been, Ink and dust, a quiet sound, Echoes lost and then are found. [Pre-Chorus] Hold me close, a fading glow, Time slips soft, but I still know— [Chorus] In the scent of old paperbacks, Memories bloom, no turning back, Fragile dreams beneath the stacks, I’m caught in the light that never cracks. In the scent of old paperbacks, Where the past and heartbeats overlap. [Verse] Softly pressed between each leaf, Stories wrapped in sweet belief, Every line a secret kept, In the air where silence slept. [Pre-Chorus] Hold me close, a fading glow, Time slips soft, but I still know— [Chorus] In the scent of old paperbacks, Memories bloom, no turning back, Fragile dreams beneath the stacks, I’m caught in the light that never cracks. In the scent of old paperbacks, Where the past and heartbeats overlap. [Bridge] Close my eyes, I’m drifting there, Between the pages, floating air, Softly held in moments passed, In the scent, I’m home at last. [Chorus] In the scent of old paperbacks, Memories bloom, no turning back, Fragile dreams beneath the stacks, I’m caught in the light that never cracks. In the scent of old paperbacks, Where the past and heartbeats overlap. [Outro] Fading softly, never gone, In the scent, I carry on.
