Lyrics
I could have sworn this was the way when we started down
I believed this path was the right one when we began our journey
I thought we'd left a light on dear but I can't see it now
I thought we had a guiding light, but now I can't perceive it
I can't even find the chance when it's right here in my way
I can't even recognize the opportunity, even though it's right in front of me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Repetition of nonspecific sounds, possibly indicating a sense of confusion or inability to articulate
But I remember tomorrow like it was yesterday
I can recall the future with the same clarity as if it were the past
I remember tomorrow like it was yesterday
Reiteration of the idea that the future is remembered like the past
You called out something in your sleep, it was not my name
You uttered something during sleep, but it wasn't my name
You startled when I pulled you close but I held you just the same
You reacted with surprise when I drew you close, but I comforted you nonetheless
Neither of us spoke again in the dark where we lay
Neither of us communicated further in the darkness where we rested
La, la, la, la, la, la
Repetition of nonspecific sounds, possibly reflecting a sense of uncertainty or loss
Pretending tomorrow would come like it was yesterday
Pretending that the future will arrive as predictably as the past
The birds have picked the blossoms, I think out of spite
Birds have removed the blossoms, possibly symbolizing the loss of beauty or innocence
The dogs have taken to the street like it was theirs by right
Dogs have taken to the streets, suggesting a sense of entitlement or rebellion
The clouds have drawn a curtain where the stars have gone astray
Clouds have obscured the stars, indicating a departure from the expected or the celestial
La, la, la, la, la, la
Repetition of nonspecific sounds, possibly indicating a sense of lament or resignation
They're taking out tomorrow like it was yesterday
The future is being eradicated, treated as if it were part of the past
Taking out tomorrow like it was yesterday
Repetition emphasizing the removal or disregard of the future
Taking out tomorrow like it was yesterday
-Taking out tomorrow like it was yesterday
-La, la, la, la, la, la
Repetition of nonspecific sounds, possibly reflecting a sense of fading or diminishing
