Yesterday
White Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tip of my tongue
I won't say this
Name I know I get carried away
It's just too much fun
I can't explain
There's a million different things
All the steps that you retraced
And everyday
I get, I get, I get this feeling
When I wake up I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday
I get, I get, I get this feeling
When I wake up I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday
Memories rushing like the flood
The spike on my blood
We're lost in New Orleans
You carried me, I'm back to the bus
And then we're in love
Resisting what's pointless
There's a million different things
I could still remember
All the steps that you retraced
And everyday
I get, I get, I get this feeling
When I wake up I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday
I get, I get, I get this feeling
When I wake up I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday
Everything I need in a taxi
Gentle off to sleep
You were all for me yesterday
Everything I need in a taxi
Gentle off to sleep
You were all for me yesterday
I get, I get, I get this feeling
When I wake up I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday
I get, I get, I get this feeling
When I wake up I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday

Even though it sits on my brain
Despite the fact that the memory is constantly occupying my mind
The tip of my tongue
I almost speak of it
I won't say this
I will not mention this memory
Name I know I get carried away
I know I get caught up in the nostalgia of it all
It's just too much fun
Reliving that memory is overwhelmingly enjoyable
I can't explain
I can't put into words what that memory means to me
There's a million different things
There are so many details I still remember
I could still remember
I'm able to recall
All the steps that you retraced
All the things you did to recreate that moment
And everyday
Every day without fail
I get, I get, I get this feeling
I experience an overwhelming emotion
When I wake up I still feel it
Even when I first wake up in the morning, I still feel it
I get, I get, I get this feeling of yesterday
I experience a feeling of nostalgia and longing for the past
Memories rushing like the flood
Memories come rushing back quickly and intensely
The spike on my blood
I feel a rush of intense emotion
We're lost in New Orleans
We were caught up in a moment in New Orleans
You carried me, I'm back to the bus
You helped me when I needed it and we're back on track
And then we're in love
Our connection grew even stronger
Resisting what's pointless
We made a conscious effort to not be drawn in by things that didn't matter
Everything I need in a taxi
The familiarity of being in a taxi brings me comfort
Gentle off to sleep
I fall asleep gently
You were all for me yesterday
I think back to how you were there for me in the past
