Yesterday Lyrics

The dust is building up

(Dust is building up)

And your '72 Pinto has rusted

This house is full of memories

And the closet is just how you left it

I can't bring myself to pack it up

It will serve to remind me of our time

The old porch light is busted (It's busted)

And the deck boards are wearing thin

The worn pipes their leaking

And this basement is flooded

As the paint recedes like our hopes and dreams

The cuts and stitches, your words they stay with me

If I can go back now

And say all the things I wanted to say

Would it be all different now

If I poured my heart out

If I go back to yesterday

Our foundation fell in a sinkhole

(What will we do)

With the ghosts of our old home

If I can find the strength and the will

To stop medicating once and for all

I'd ignite this past and let the ashes fall

If I can go back now

And say all the things I wanted to say

Would it be all different now

If I poured my heart out

If I go back to yesterday

If I can go back now

And say all the things I wanted to say

Would it be all different now

If I poured my heart out

If I go back to yesterday

With a can of Kerosene

And a Machiavellian dream

I'd light the fuse

and let it all burn away
