Bring Back Yesterday
Eternal Longing: Tom Bailey's Plea to Bring Back Yesterday
Lyrics
it seems like yesterday
Reflecting on the past, a time that feels recent.
I thought I heard you say
Recollection of a statement suggesting lasting commitment.
that we would be together for ever and a day
An expectation of eternal togetherness.
but time has drifted past
Acknowledging the swift passage of time.
it surely happened fast
The quick occurrence of events or changes.
I wonder if we'll ever spend another day
Doubt about the possibility of sharing time again.
So bring back yesterday
An earnest desire to relive the past.
chorus
Chorus - Reiteration of the plea to bring back yesterday.
bring back yesterday
Chorus - Repeated plea for the return of the past.
bring back yesterday
-I'll get get down on my knees and pray
Expressing a willingness to pray for the return of the past.
to bring back yesterday
Reiteration of the prayer for the return of the past.
you can raise a glass
Celebrating past moments with a symbolic gesture.
we've done it in the past
Recalling shared experiences.
And we have tasted love a thousand times before
Highlighting the familiarity and frequency of experiencing love.
But the cup that tastes so sweet
The initial sweetness of love.
It knocks me of my feet
The sudden and unpleasant turn of events.
Becomes a bitter taste when you spill it on the floor
The aftermath of a love gone wrong.
So bring back yesterday
Reiteration of the desire to return to the past.
this is what i'd say
Expressing what the speaker would say when seeking a return to the past.
please bring you love back home to stay
A plea to bring back the love permanently.
bring back yesterday
Repetition of the plea to bring back yesterday.
your innocence has past
Acknowledging the loss of innocence in the past.
it wasn't meant too last
Recognition that some things are not meant to endure.
and all we have is memories before your curtain call
All that remains are memories before a final farewell.
It's a love without regret
Embracing a love without regrets.
we try not to forget
Struggling to avoid forgetting the past.
what breathes life into the future is the greatest love of all
Emphasizing that the essence of life lies in future love.
so bring back yesterday
Reiteration of the plea to bring back yesterday.
