[V1]
|
I thought I saw you yesterday
|
But I didn't stop, 'cause you was walkin' the opposite way
|
I guess I could've shouted out your name
|
But even if it was you, I don't know what I would say
|
We could sit and reminisce about the old school
|
Maybe share a cigarette, because we both fools
|
Chop it up and compare perspectives
|
Life, love, stress and set-backs, yes
|
So you could tell me how hard you had it
|
And you could show me all the scars to back it
|
And we could analyze each complaint
|
Break it down and explain these mistakes I make
|
I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry
|
But you knew me back when I was a younger me
|
You seen Sean in all types of light
|
And I've been meanin' to ask you if I'm doin' alright
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Yesterday
|
Was that you? Looked just like you
|
Strange thangs my imagination might do
|
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
|
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?
|
|
[V2]
|
I'm shook, I know, I pushed when I should've pulled
|
Took it all back if I could, I put that on my soul
|
And I would make a top-notch good listener
|
If you could block-off a little time out to give it here
|
Since we went our separate paths
|
I've hit a couple snags that remind me of the past
|
I can't front, I'm havin' a blast
|
But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last
|
Sittin' here wishin' we could kick it
|
Give me your opinions, I do miss the criticisms
|
I didn't mean to be distant, make a visit
|
I'll wait up and keep the coffee brewin' in the kitchen
|
But who am I jokin' with?
|
There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it
|
It doesn't matter, this is more than love
|
And maybe if I'm lucky, get to see you out the corner of
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Yesterday
|
Was that you? Looked just like you
|
Strange thangs my imagination might do
|
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
|
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?
|
|
[V3]
|
And when you left, I didn't see it comin'
|
I guess I slept, it ain't like you was runnin'
|
You crept out the front door slow
|
And I was so self-absorbed I didn't even know
|
And by the time I looked up it was booked up
|
Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff
|
A whole house full of dreams and steps
|
I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept
|
You disappeared but the history is still here
|
It's why I try not to cry over spilt beer
|
I can't even get mad that you're gone
|
Leavin' me was probably the best thing you ever taught me
|
I'm sorry, it's official
|
I was a fist-full, I didn't keep it simple
|
Chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins
|
Had so much hatred, now it brings me shame
|
Never thought about the world without you
|
And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you
|
I thought I saw you yesterday
|
But I knew it wasn't you, 'cause you passed away, dad
|
|
Looked just like you
|
Strange thangs my imagination might do
|
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
|
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?
