Lyrics

---

Yesterday, you still seemed alright
You'd still hold me tight and whisper me my name
Now the time has come to let this go
There I go walking straight but backwards
There I go talking upside down
There I go there I go singing slow but faster
There I go dragging love around
There I go

Staying late to find the thing they'll always let me do
I am a part of everything I've loved and hated so
You know I'd pay a lot to cry and try to understand
A flower's still a flower crushed to dust inside my hand

We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere

Yesterday, you still seemed so bored
You'd still draw the road I'd always walk upon
Now I've paid for mistakes I've made
For the way I'd scream and never take my fall
Now the time has come to let this show
There I go walking straight but backwards
There I go talking upside down
There I go there I go singing slow but faster
There I go dragging love around
There I go

There I go singing so much faster, sometimes let me down
To lock it up inside my room with every troubled brow
You know I'd pay a lot to cry and try to understand
A flower's still a flower crushed to dust inside my hand
We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere
