Yesterday Went Too Soon

Sitting in today, watching traffic buzzing by, and faces nosing in
A victim of regret, it glitters and it fades away, like silver turning grey
Washed it all away, waiting for this dream to end, before it sucks me in
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but i'm alone
Wish i could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But i'm missing yesterday
Crashing on the ground, the silence seems to suffocate, and bury me again
Waiting for a taste, of happiness to lift me free, and carry me away
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but i'm alive
Wish i could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But i'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday
I'll wait, i'll wait for you tonight.
Lost another week, feeling like a leper in, a world of vanity
It's killing me today, addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug i need
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but i'm alone
Wish i could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But i'm missing yesterdayi'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lightsi'm holding out my hand but i'm alone
Wish i could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But i'm missing yesterday.

The words we say, old flowers fade away
Remember yesterday, wish it would bloom again
Apathy and pain, here comes the autumn rain
Old apologies scattered in the wings of fate
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when its
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, evergreen
Down on my knees, crawling though the streets again
Surrendered to my needs, so i can breathe the air
You're my evergreen, regents park in spring
It takes me to a place, where i can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
I just want some place where i can breathe without this bitter taste
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's grey
It all looks black and white today
You're my evergreen, regents park in spring
It takes me to a place, where i can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
Evergreen, evergreen, evergreen

We queuing up the tills, wishing for our lives to change
Just a piece of something new, a taste would keep us sane
Hypocrisy in every day, drills a hole deep in our brains
Searching for a little hope, a rainbow when it rains
Sitting on an empty bench, got these nails dug in my skin
Like a leopard with his kill, we're going under, slipping in
Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in day out
Stepping on a treadmill wheel, you must know how that can feel
Blows a fuse inside our minds, watch the data as it wipes
Taste the bullshit on a plate, we just piss our lives away
Get the hell out while you can, we going under, sinking in
We're going under, slipping in
Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in day out
We're going down, yes we're going down, we're going down

Staring at paper faces, expressions like empty pages, day after day
Waiting for the lights to change now,, reaching for a cloud to come down,
And cover me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Waiting for the world to change, dissolution takes a bit off, and swallows me
Looking for a way to get out, wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
If you can learn to be yourself, then that's okay
If you can find a reason now, don't drift away
Walking down streets to nowhere, stepping on feet with no cares,
Losing my self
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drowncan't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Slide away, slide away

Left out in the sun to dry again, washed up on a shore line south of spain
Gazing up with telescopic eyes, planetary life above the skies
Oh my god, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Drifting on a boat in emerald seas, pulling on the strings inside of me
Tasting salt as waves dive over me, twisting on a rope of memories
Oh my god, she's my obsession, my obsession
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes
If you could only see, that i'm sinking like a stone
The sea is getting colder, every second as i go
It's like breathing underwater, but i just can't let you go
My obsession, she's my obsession, my obsession
Oh my god, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonoh my god, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes

Office blocks, corner shops, traffic jams on every street, the same old rush around
Obsolete, i'm a freak, in a show on brighton beach, as the snow comes down
Reality's kicking me, knocking me right off my feet, as the sky spins round
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Laundry stops, by the lock, on a sunday afternoon, with all that fuss
Cantelowes skateboard shows, tennants extra by a row of recycle bins
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Take a ride to charing cross, join the masses as they shop, their lives away
29's the northern line, heading back to lose our minds, to break the chain
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes.
