Lyrics
Yesterday
Reflecting on the past day
Thought I saw you in my head
Imagining the presence of someone in the mind
As you leapt into the door
Perceiving the person entering
Telling me you want to go home
Expressing a desire to leave
As I say everything inside my head
Internal dialogue about unspoken thoughts
It was always in our eyes
Emphasizing shared feelings through eyes
Everybody wants to go home
Yearning for the comfort of home
And she said she said something about her face
Reference to a conversation about someone's face
I know, i know its not the way it feels
Acknowledging a discrepancy between knowledge and feelings
If I don't want you, I don't want you
Asserting independence in emotions
If I go there to, you'll go there too
Reciprocal actions in a relationship
Its the way I feel
Reiterating the emotional experience
Ah, ah
Expression of emotion
And I'm off you say its been a day
Acknowledging a separation
I know you're right, just talk to me
Seeking communication despite differences
Its the way I feel
Reiteration of emotional experience
Ah, ah
Expression of emotion
Yesterday I thought I told you I would stay
Commitment to staying despite challenges
We'd turn the night into the day
Transforming night into day metaphorically
But everybody wants to go home
Desire for home despite external factors
You are nothing
Denial of significance
I am nothing
Self-negation
You and i were getting in the way
Obstruction in the relationship
If i don't want you, I don't want you
Reiteration of emotional independence
If I go there too, you'll go there too
Reciprocal actions in a relationship
Its the way I feel
Reiterating the emotional experience
Ah, ah
Expression of emotion
And I'm off you say its been a day
Acknowledging a separation
I know you're right, just talk to me
Seeking communication despite differences
Its the way I feel
Reiteration of emotional experience
Ah, ah
Expression of emotion
Swear to me
Request for commitment
Will you wait for me?
Seeking assurance in waiting
You were my friend
Recognition of past friendship
We've thrown it away
Regret over lost connection
If I don't want you, I don't want you
Asserting independence in emotions
If I go there to, you'll go there too
Reciprocal actions in a relationship
Its the way I feel
Reiterating the emotional experience
Ah, ah
Expression of emotion
And I'm off you say its been a day
Acknowledging a separation
I know you're right, just talk to me
Seeking communication despite differences
Its the way I feel
Reiteration of emotional experience
Ah, ah
Expression of emotion
