Only Yesterday
Echoes of Love: Nostalgic Longing in 'Only Yesterday' by Taken by Trees
Lyrics
Oh honey, I really miss you
Expressing deep longing and yearning for the person addressed as "honey."
Oh honey, though it was only yesterday you kissed me
Reflecting on a recent past event where the person being missed kissed the singer.
And that kiss, that kiss was so, so true
Emphasizing the sincerity and authenticity of the kiss received.
I guess I should know better
Admitting a lack of understanding or learning from past experiences.
When it comes to falling
Acknowledging the act of falling for someone romantically.
Yes, I should know better
Reiterating the recognition of the need to be cautious in romantic situations.
When it comes to falling
Repeating the acknowledgment of being cautious in romantic situations.
Oh honey, I really miss you
Reaffirming the longing for the person addressed as "honey."
Oh honey, if only you could hold me now
Expressing a desire for physical comfort and closeness from the person missed.
'Cause you hold, you hold me, oh, so well
Highlighting the partner's ability to provide emotional and physical support.
I guess I should know better
Acknowledging a repeated pattern of not learning from past experiences.
When it comes to falling
Reiterating the acknowledgment of falling for someone despite past experiences.
Yes, I should know better
Repeating the recognition of the need for caution in love.
When it comes to falling in love again
Admitting a recognition of falling in love again despite knowing better.
Oh honey, I really miss you
Reiterating the deep longing and yearning for the person addressed as "honey."
Oh honey, though it was only yesterday you kissed me
Reflecting on the recent past event of being kissed by the missed person.
And that kiss, that kiss was so, so true
Reemphasizing the sincerity and authenticity of the previously mentioned kiss.
I guess I should know better
Acknowledging the lack of learning from past romantic experiences.
When it comes to falling
Reiterating the acknowledgment of falling for someone romantically despite knowing better.
Yes, I should know better
Repeating the recognition of the need for caution in love.
When it comes to falling in love again
Acknowledging the repetition of falling in love despite prior knowledge.
