Yesterdays
Embracing Tomorrow in the Shadows of Yesterdays
Lyrics
I know there's something I should say
The speaker acknowledges a need to communicate something.
But I searched for clever words
Despite trying, the speaker couldn't find the right words.
and they never came
Expressing difficulty in articulating thoughts or feelings.
So please don't look at me that way
Pleading not to be judged for their inability to express.
Like we're tied to the tracks
Metaphorically feeling trapped or helpless like tied to train tracks.
And the train is on its way
Sense of impending danger or a difficult situation approaching.
So don't you worry
Assuring someone of their presence and support.
I'll be here
Commitment to be there during difficult times.
When the lights burn out
Hope for clarity in difficult situations (when the lights burn out).
Maybe then we'll see things clear
Anticipating a better understanding or resolution in the future.
I know where we're going
Awareness of the direction in which their paths are heading.
Our separate ways
Acceptance of separate journeys or destinies.
And I'd freeze this moment
Desire to preserve a moment in time.
To keep us the same
Wishing to maintain the present state or relationship.
If somehow I find us
Hoping for a better path or outcome.
A better way
Questioning if the other person would join them if a better way is found.
Would you come live with me
Inviting the other person to live in their shared past.
In our yesterdays
Desire for shared nostalgia and memories.
Come live with me in our yesterdays
Repetition of the invitation to live in the past together.
I know there's something I should do
Recognizing another responsibility but feeling mentally blocked.
But I can't think straight
Struggling to focus thoughts due to thoughts of the other person.
When my thoughts lead back to you
Feeling emotionally distracted when thoughts involve the person.
Were we happiest in the days we left behind
Reflecting on whether their past was the happiest time.
When love was a fight
Remembering a time when love required effort.
And time was never on our side
Feeling constrained by time limitations in the past.
So don't you worry
Reassuring presence during challenging moments.
I'll right here
Commitment to be there during difficult times.
When the lights burn out
Hope for clarity in difficult situations (when the lights burn out).
Maybe then we'll see things clear
Anticipating a better understanding or resolution in the future.
I know where we're going
Awareness of the direction in which their paths are heading.
Our separate ways
Acceptance of separate journeys or destinies.
And I'd freeze this moment
Desire to preserve a moment in time.
To keep us the same
Wishing to maintain the present state or relationship.
If somehow I find us
Hoping for a better path or outcome.
A better way
Questioning if the other person would join them if a better way is found.
Would you come live with me
Inviting the other person to live in their shared past.
In our yesterdays
Desire for shared nostalgia and memories.
Come live with me in our yesterdays
Repetition of the invitation to live in the past together.
Come live with me in our yesterdays
Reiteration of the invitation to live in the past together.
Come live with me in our yesterdays
