Yesterday
Reamonn Lyrics

I know you can see me, god knows you can hear me
I'm aware that you're aware of my presence and my plea for your attention.

I'm standing outside your door, watching you slip away
I'm physically present in your vicinity, helplessly watching you move away from me.

Will like when to love is kiss, I felt denial, why do we do this
Even though we have shared the intimate moments of a loving relationship, I'm feeling rejected and confused about why our love has deteriorated.

There's so much left to say, oh please open up
I feel like we still have unresolved issues that need to be expressed and discussed, so I'm pleading with you to let me in to have that conversation.

We can turn back the time you and me can make this feel right
I believe that we have the power to rewind the clock and fix what's broken between us, and I want you to believe it too.

We go back to the start before it all starts falling apart
Let's revisit the beginning of our relationship before it took on this negative trajectory and create a new foundation for us to build on.

Yesterday was the day when everything felt right
I'm reminiscing about the times when our love was pure and we were happy together.

You and me we belong to yesterdays life, to yesterdays life
I feel like we're stuck in the past and our love is no longer relevant in the present.

And if its so easy for you to leave me
I'm acknowledging that you seem to be ready to move on easily without me.

Why did you say goodbye with tears in your eyes
I'm confused about your mixed signals, as you seemed upset when we parted ways.

You said that you staying in, watching your world on your TV-screen
You claimed to be isolating yourself from the world and cocooning yourself in front of the television.

But there`s nothing on film tonight, you know I'm right so
But there's no meaningful content on TV tonight that can replace real-life experiences, and I hope you understand that too.

Everyone crashes in birth, everyone tries to move on
I'm acknowledging the universality of human suffering and the collective struggle we all face to move forward in life.

Tell me will we ever return, to when we both felt so young
I'm asking if it's possible for us to recapture the innocence and joy we felt when we started our relationship, and if we can find a way back to that state.

Everyone have ever known, just trying to make it on their own now
I'm acknowledging that everyone is fighting their own battles, and we all have to rely on our own strength and resilience to move forward in life.

I thought that we where do any right, and now I just want to
I believed that we were doing everything right in our relationship, but now I just want us to work together to fix what's broken.

To yesterdays life, to yesterdays life
I'm drawing attention to the fact that we seem to be living in the past, and our love has become a relic of a bygone era.
