Yesterday
Sittin here watchin the time slip away
Wondering what I should do today
Putting things off another day
I’ll do it tomorrow
Is what I say
Head in hand
Memories jumpin like hopscotch
A game of youth
Long since gone
Nothing left but tomorrow
85 are gone, 280 remain
365 times 17
Years of pain
I close my eyes and pray
Praying to let go of yesterday
Trying to live a better way
Forget about yesterday
Yesterday go away
Clock moves ahead
Nothing stops it from working
Every hour it won’t miss a ring
It’s the only guaranteed thing
Weighted down by life’s unknown
Worrying about the future
Feeling completely alone
Still sitting here
I wish time would stand still
Until I can figure it all out
With zero lies and zero hate
Make no mistakes, oh boy
Boy it’s getting late
Shiftin weight
From side to side
Booking a cruise in my head
Planning to go before I’m dead
Maybe God will be the captain
And heaven will be the sea
When that big boat comes for me
Until then
Eyes closed tight
I’m prayin
Praying to let go of yesterday
Trying to live a better way
Forget about yesterday
Yesterday go away
Yesterday, oh yesterday
go away,
just go away
sometime today...
