Yesterday I was afraid
Yesterday I ran away
Yesterday I felt betrayed
like all my love had gone to waste
Yesterday I was ashamed
Will it fade away?
Yesterday I didn’t know my name
I was walking down my quiet street at dawn
Half a mile felt like a marathon
When you’re alone a summer night just drags on
It’s like I missed my flight and lost my carry-on
Painting scenes in the yard in the warm October breeze
Walking down a wooden bridge looking off to the edge of the sea
Yesterday I was afraid
Yesterday I ran away
Yesterday I felt betrayed
like all my love had gone to waste
Yesterday I was ashamed
Will it fade away?
Yesterday I didn’t know my name
but yesterday is not today
I got an unexpected call at 10 pm
I was on my way to CVS
I was buying dye to make my hair turn red
But she said let’s write a song instead
Dancing down the board walk through the old arcade lights
Crickets chirping outside my window as I drift off through the night
Yesterday I was afraid
Yesterday I ran away
Yesterday I felt betrayed
like all my love had gone to waste
Yesterday I was ashamed
Will it fade away?
Yesterday I didn’t know my name
but yesterday is not today

Isaac told me that I couldn’t write another sad song
I don’t know if you know, but I’m happy that you’re gone
I know I didn’t mean much to you
But was I nothing all along?
Did you ever care about my music?
Or was it just another song
Wash the blood off your hands again
I know your skin yet I’m a stranger to you
Melt your words like sugar cane
I know your name but you’re a stranger
I heard you spreading rumors ‘bout me to your friends
Even though you hurt me, I want you to be happy in the end
I opened all these doors for you
I helped you hang the paintings on the wall
But it was me you were stepping through
So don’t expect me to call
Wash the blood off your hands again
I know your skin yet I'm a stranger to you
Melt your words like sugar cane
I know your name but you're a stranger
We’re just strangers. I’m in danger of twisting old memories
We’re just strangers. We’re exchangers of short-lived fantasy

Time flies
Even when you're here with me
Why can’t you see my plea
This is going so fast
Goodbyes
That I didn’t say to you
I play these keys for you
Tells those black and white blues
Long rides
Driving down to Santa Cruz
He said what song do you chose
Now he’s headed off to school
Oh should I stay here
Or should I leave
Cuz if I leave here
Then they won’t be leaving me
Green tea
My mama used to make for me
She just wants to see me succeed
In two years I’ll be free
Cuz time flies
Even when you're here with me
Like a breeze blowing off to sea
Enjoy your time with me
