Better Than Yesterday
Sidney Samson & Will.I.Am Lyrics

Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats
Drinking pink lemonade while wearing bomber jackets during fall

Peter Pan collars but my daughter's growing up
My daughter is maturing, but I still dress her in childlike clothing

She's gonna be a lot like me
My daughter will likely have similar personality traits as me

But I don't wanna be at all like me
I don't want my daughter to repeat my mistakes

Yellow buzzcuts, pulling out stingers
Having short, buzzed hair and removing bee stingers

You're telling me I'm holding up eleven fingers and
You're making me feel confused by claiming I have more fingers than normal

Stranger things than death can happen
Unexpected events can occur that are bizarre or death-defying

To lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits but
Both normal and attractive individuals can be subject to experimentation and testing

Everybody knows that nobody knows that
Everyone assumes everyone else knows what's going on, but really nobody truly knows anything

Everybody's in on everybody's business
People are always involved in other people's personal affairs

This isn't my first Christmas
I have had previous experiences with holiday festivities

I know mistletoe when I see it
I recognize when a situation is conducive for a romantic kiss

Baby, could you play along with me
Can you pretend with me or cooperate in fulfilling my desires

Baby, would that be alright with you
Would it be okay with you to do what I suggest

And when we find out what's wrong with me
If a problem with me is identified

Could you tell me how I'm right for you
Can you explain how I'm still a good match for you despite my flaws

Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples
Physical characteristics that indicate age and life experiences

If they could see the future back when times were simple
If people were aware of how complex and unpredictable the future would be

Would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off
Would someone show you affection or inflict pain upon you

Let you speak or take advantage of how
Allow you to express yourself or exploit your vulnerability

If everyone's sick, well then nobody can catch it, and if
If everyone has the same problem, then it is normal and not contagious

Everybody's different how could anybody match
No two individuals are the same so it's difficult to find a perfect match

And we're looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we've laid out
We search through old, used possessions from family members or friends

Wondering if we'll fit into the yesterdays we've played out
Contemplating if we'll be able to effectively replicate past experiences

Warmer tears than you've grown used to since then
Crying more intensely than normal due to increased sensitivity

A toast to the nosebleed seats
A celebratory gesture to acknowledge being seated far away from the main event

And the big dream sequence where you're found
A significant dream that features a successful outcome or revelation

Guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed
Being punished for something that you didn't intentionally do, and then being comforted

This isn't my first anything. This isn't my first anything
I have undergone various experiences and am unfazed

Could you tell me what's so wrong about what's wrong with me
Can you explain what is inherently flawed about my current situation

I'm just trying to do what's right by you
I'm attempting to act in your best interest
