Lyrics
Everyday I wake up
Expressing the routine of waking up every day.
I forget
Not remembering or letting go of the past.
Of yesterday
Specifically referring to the events of the previous day.
And all our arguments
Recalling past disagreements or conflicts.
I had a better hair color last year
Reflecting on personal appearance changes over time.
And my mother says I look better as a blonde
Receiving advice from the mother about appearance.
Maybe I do
Considering the possibility that blonde hair may be preferable.
But what can I do
Accepting the situation despite personal preferences.
If we could go back to yesterday I would
Expressing a desire to return to the past.
If we could feel happy like we did
Yearning for the return of happiness experienced previously.
I would give anything in the whole wide world
Willing to sacrifice anything for the restoration of joy.
Just to see a smile on your face
Desiring to witness happiness reflected in a loved one's smile.
I called my dad on the phone yesterday
Contacting the father via phone and sensing his despair.
I swear I heard all his hope drift away
Observing a decline in the father's hope during the conversation.
I said that I could call
Offering to make a comforting call or connection.
that old hot line, To the sky
Referring to a metaphorical hotline to the sky, possibly a spiritual connection.
that Grandma called in 85
Mentioning a historical reference to Grandma's call in 1985.
If we could go back to yesterday I would
Reiterating the desire to return to a happier past.
If we could feel happy like we did
Longing for the rekindling of past joyous emotions.
I would give anything in the whole wide world
Expressing a willingness to give up everything for happiness.
Just to see a smile on your face
Seeking joy reflected in a smile, emphasizing its importance.
I know we will
Expressing confidence or belief in a positive future.
I know we will
-If we could go back to yesterday I would
Repeating the desire to go back to a happier time.
If we could feel happy like we did
Yearning for the return of a specific joyful feeling.
I would give anything in the whole wide world
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for happiness.
If we could go back to yesterday, I would
Repeating the desire to return to the past for happiness.

The whole wide world
Highlighting the vastness of the sacrifice for joy.
