Story Behind The Song
The inspiration for the song came out of some short stories/poems by Raymond Carver: how they capture one specific point in a character's life, and from the description of that one instant, you can tell how the character got there, and, you feel like you
Song Description
Musically: Sort of staid a la the Cars, but a somewhat meoncholy chord progression, nice vocal harmonies, and a Police-like repetitive chorus, with heavy guitars and some bellowing in the bridge more in line with modern rock.

Lyrics
One moment you sat smoking
And looking far away
Sound of my voice deflected
Like ashes in your tray
Time passes, now you're watching I'm looking far away
My voice is wrapped in silence
I've got nothing to say
You were the last one
To push me away
Wearing your yesterdays
You could have asked for my help
Why did you hold it in?
You could have leaned on me
I was much stronger then
So don't you bother asking
What good I give you now
The guilt has turned to anger
And I won't keep it down
You were the last one
To push me away
Wearing the yesterdays
You're wearing your yesterdays.
