Yesterday

Mr. Yesterday
I'm stuck by your knowing sway
I went back those years today
As I slipped in a sleepy haze
My eyes get heavy
The thoughts that left me fade away
And though their steady
It's yesterday in which they stay

But four hours go by
Three times the goodbye
I used to say
Two times more that I'd try
To remember one line
To make you stay

The words pass my lips
And I remember this
Is just for today
That it's hit or miss
And none of it fits
Quite like it did yesterday

Hello tomorrow
An age long sorrow on your brain
I try to follow
But I can't borrow all your pain

And my mind can't remember
321 letters,
that once held your name
And I'm thinking it's better
If I just let her
Forget all the flickered flames

But four hours go by
Three times the goodbye
I used to say
Two times more that I'd try
To remember one line
To make you stay

The words pass my lips
And I remember this
Is just for today
That it's hit or miss
And none of it fits
Quite like it did yesterday

Yesterday
Yesterday
Mmm

Sunrise sunset how could I forget
A feeling never meant
Eye's lie times die how could I deny
A moment never spent

I ache for today
Knowing my way can never stay
I breathe in today
Knowing this may will surely fade away
I ache for today
Chasing the grey that follows tomorrow
I breathe in today
Knowing that it's
My next days yesterday
