lyrics

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
