📝 Song Description
“A story of a man too immature to realize what he’s losing as their spark slowly fades.”
‘Old Couple’ is a raw look at the stagnant air between two people who have become a habit to each other rather than a choice. It’s a confession of someone stuck in a cycle, watching the colors fade while refusing to grow up.
In the middle of routine and repetition, he doesn’t notice what’s slipping away. And by the time he does, it might already be gone.
A melancholic look at how we lose what matters most without even noticing. 🎸

🎤 Old Couple
[Verse 1]
My friend set me up on a blind date — it hit different
Every time I see someone now, my chest kinda shifts
But I got a girl back home
Why’s she not even popping up first in my head these days?
She used to be my everything… kinda still is, I guess
Like spring light through the window, warm on my floor
…You don’t know what you’ve got… till it’s gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Every night I text like clockwork, same old routine
“How was your day?” — autopilot words, no real scene
Sometimes I throw out “I love you” just to fill the space
But now “I love you” sounds like
“Hello” or “excuse me” — just noise in the air
Right here beside me… you don’t know what you’ve got

[HOOK]
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

[Verse 2]
Weekends come — we play our parts out of habit, whatever
Coffee, movie, dinner… same old, no big deal
No need to hunt for some new spot anymore
No spark anyway, just going through the motions
We say it’s “for us,” yeah right…
Scrolling past your stories, barely looking
It’s somebody new that feeds the thirst these days
…Till it’s gone — you don’t know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes we drift a little too far, meet someone on the side
Looking for an easier way to say goodbye
It’s all instinct kicking in, just kinda happens
Do we really wanna keep this alive, or just scared to feel?
A life without her… you don’t know till it’s gone

[HOOK]
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

[Bridge]
The guy who can’t quite let go, the girl who won’t bounce
But what if we just ended it, like for real?
Do I actually wanna lose her… or just hoping she dips first?
And if she’s gone, would it even sting that bad?
Or would I just shrug and keep scrolling?
Huh… can’t even picture the room without her…
She’s right here — whatever, think about it later
…Till it’s gone… you don’t know

[Final HOOK]
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
You don’t know what you’ve got…
Till it’s gone… yeah…
Till it’s gone…
