Yesterday's Flame
Rekindling Embers: Rediscovering Love's Glow in Alison Moyet's 'Yesterday's Flame'
Lyrics
You want to wipe some space
You desire to clear some space.
Onto the mirror for your face
You want to enhance the mirror for your reflection.
To get somebody coming back at you
You hope to attract someone's attention when they see you.
Lonely lonely lonely and nothing's coming through
Feeling very lonely, and nothing positive is happening.
If your heart isn't in it
If your passion is lacking,
Pull away and start again
Withdraw and begin anew.
If your heart isn't in it
If your passion is lacking,
Pull away and start again
Withdraw and start afresh.
Wait 'til you're ready
Wait until you feel prepared.
Wait 'til you know
Wait until you are sure.
Then you find yourself wondering
Then you find yourself questioning
What the waiting is for
the purpose of the waiting.
If your heart isn't in it
If your passion is lacking,
Pull away and start again
Withdraw and start afresh.
If your fire isn't taking
If your enthusiasm isn't catching,
Stamp it out and light again
Extinguish it and ignite it again.
If your fire isn't taking
If your enthusiasm isn't catching,
Stamp it out and light again
Extinguish it and ignite it again.
Here 'cause you're in it
Here because you're involved,
Stay for a while
Stay for a while.
But you look in the mirror
But you inspect the mirror
For the spark in your eye
looking for the twinkle in your eye.
If your fire isn't taking
If your enthusiasm isn't catching,
Kick it out and light again
Eliminate it and ignite it again.
If your heart isn't in it
If your passion is lacking,
Pull away and love again
Withdraw and love again.
If your heart isn't in it
If your passion is lacking,
Pull away and love again
Withdraw and love again.
Stay 'cause it's easy
Stay because it's easy,
Stay 'cause it's here
Stay because it's present.
But you stay for a minute
But you stay for a moment,
Then you stay for a year
Then you stay for a year.
If your heart isn't in it
If your passion is lacking,
Pull away and love again
Withdraw and love again.
I guarantee it, you're gonna feel it
I assure you, you're going to sense it,
No frown and no shame now
No frown and no shame now.
Nothing's cold as yesterday's flame
Nothing is as emotionally cold as a past romance.
