Lyrics
Yesterday
Reflecting on the past, a time before the present moment.
We talked and laughed together
Recalling a time of communication and joy shared together.
And I hope
Expressing a desire for the positive situation to continue indefinitely.
That this can last forever
Hoping for the continuation of the current positive state without an end.
Tomorrow
Concern about the future and questioning the other person's presence.
Will you be by my side
Asking if the person will remain in the speaker's life in the future.
Your smile
Noticing the absence of the other person's smile recently.
I haven't seen that
Highlighting the prolonged absence of the other person's smile.
In awhile
Implying a sense of sadness due to the lack of the person's smile.
I think you're fading
Suspecting that the other person is losing their presence or significance.
And I tell myself it happens all the time
Recognizing that changes in people's behavior are a common occurrence.
People changing
Accepting the inevitability of people changing over time.
There's nothing left in my pocket but your dime
Feeling emotionally drained, with only a small remnant of the person's involvement.
It's the only thing that brings me back to life
Emphasizing that the connection with the person's small contribution keeps the speaker going.
And now you're fading
Reiterating the fading nature of the relationship or connection.
My memories with you have gone blue
Indicating that the speaker's memories of the person are losing their vividness or emotional impact.
I think you're fading
Repeating the concern about the other person's diminishing presence.
What will I do without you
Expressing worry and uncertainty about life without the other person.
Hmm hmm hmm
Non-verbal vocalizations, expressing emotion or contemplation.
Hmm hmm hmm
Continuation of non-verbal vocalizations, suggesting emotional distress or introspection.
I think you're fading
Reiterating the suspicion or feeling of the other person fading away.
And I tell myself it happens all the time
Recognizing the commonality of people changing and the associated self-reassurance.
People changing
Reiterating the acceptance of the inevitability of people's changes.
There's nothing left in my pocket but your dime
Emphasizing the emptiness except for a small reminder of the person.
It's the only thing that brings me back to life
Highlighting the importance of the small connection for the speaker's emotional well-being.
And now you're fading
Reaffirming the fading nature of the relationship or connection.
My memories with you have gone blue
Stating the diminishing emotional impact or vividness of memories.
I think you're fading
Repeating the concern about the other person's diminishing presence.
What will I do without you
Expressing concern and uncertainty about coping without the other person.
