Reincarnation

Riding down Royal Avenue, sunlight in my eyes

Chrome Hotfoot sparkling like the 1980s sky

Neon from the Milk Bar signs glowing on my face

Leaving dust trails on the streets of Sandringham and East Bentleigh's open space

I was king of the BMX track, heart beating loud

Pedalling through Melbourne like I owned the whole crowd

But the day I lost you, everything went grey

Like the tramlines on Church Street fading miles away

And I swore I'd never feel that light again

But destiny rolls like wheels in the wind

It's a reincarnation

Like the world hit reset on my soul

The moment I found you again

I swear I felt whole

From the MCG lights to the Brighton coastline

Something in the air turned back time

Oh, finding you again felt like

Reincarnation

Cruising down to Southland, coins in my hand

For another round of Flying Shark at the arcade stand

We'd race the Hotfoot shadows down Dendy Street hill

Laughing like legends, like time stood still

And even when you vanished, slipped out of view

Every sunset on Beach Road reminded me of you

Thought I'd never see your smile again

Like a lost cassette I could never rewind back then

But the universe works in mysterious ways

Sometimes love returns after years and days

It's a reincarnation

Like the world hit reset on my soul

The moment I found you again

I swear I felt whole

From the Frankston line trains to the Balcombe Road nights

Your return brought back the neon lights

Oh, finding you again felt like

Reincarnation

We were just two kids chasing sparks in the air

Summer wind in our hair, zero worries to spare

The Hotfoot chrome reflected dreams we didn't know

From Mordialloc up to Elwood, wherever we'd go

Losing you cut deeper than a fall on the track

But fate rode beside me and brought you back

It's a reincarnation

A second chance at the love I knew

Like a soul reborn at the moment

I reunited with you

From the Yarra sunsets to the City Square nights

Every memory came rushing back into sight

Oh, finding you again felt like

Reincarnation

And now when I ride under Melbourne's glow

I feel that same magic from long ago

Chrome Hotfoot spinning, heart levitating

Losing you crushed me

Finding you saved me

Reincarnation
