Ask Me Yesterday
Time-Tested Love: Unraveling the Echoes of Tom Keifer's 'Ask Me Yesterday'
Lyrics
You're asking me, will our love last?
You're asking me about the longevity of our love.
If I had to judge the future on the past.
If I had to predict the future based on our past experiences.
From where I'm standing, it's hard to say.
It's difficult to determine from my current perspective.
I left the right words back a thousand years away.
I left the right words behind a long time ago.
That's when I had the answers, that's when I had a plan.
There was a time when I had all the answers and a clear plan.
That's when I had tomorrow in the palm of my hand.
I used to have control over the future.
So ask me yesterday, when my heart was wild,
Ask me about the past when my heart was carefree.
I through it to the wind with a reckless smile.
I threw my heart into the wind without worry.
And I had all the moves, I knew just what to say.
I was confident, knew the right things to do and say.
So ask me anything at all, but ask me yesterday.
Ask me anything except about the past.
I'm asking you, from all the time
Now I'm asking you for help to escape my troubled thoughts.
To help me take a step outside this troubled mind.
To guide me out of my troubled mind.
And love me back to long ago.
Love me back to a time long ago.
Back when I was young enough to know.
When I was young enough to understand.
That's when I had the answers, that's when I had a plan.
Again, there was a time when I had answers and plans.
That's when I had tomorrow in the palm of my hand.
I controlled the future in my hands.
So ask me yesterday, when my heart was wild,
Ask me about the past when my heart was adventurous.
I through it to the wind with a reckless smile.
I took risks with a carefree smile.
And I had all the moves, I knew just what to say.
I was skilled, knew the right words to say.
So ask me anything at all, but ask me yesterday.
Ask me anything, but don't ask about the past.
That's when I had the answers, that's when I had a plan.
Once again, a time when I had answers and plans.
So ask me yesterday, when my heart was wild,
Ask me about the past when my heart was carefree.
I through it to the wind with a reckless smile.
I threw my heart into the wind without worry.
And I had all the moves, I knew just what to say.
I was confident, knew the right things to do and say.
So ask me anything at all, but ask me yesterday
Ask me anything except about the past.
