Lyrics
If I could Just Catch Up to Yesterday
Just like the fragments of a song,
Some tattered tune from bygone years,
Can catch me when my guard is down,
And set up shop between my ears,
Now in the hours since you?ve been gone,
I spend the minutes of my day
With echoes of the words we said,
And dreams about the things we could not say.
Oh I would gladly move ahead,
And put our broken song away,
And live with what tomorrow brings,
If I could just catch up to yesterday.
Yesterday?
Like a melody that won?t resolve,
Like a sunset glow that fades too fast,
You?re always calling to my heart,
But you?re ever melting in my grasp.
Yesterday?
And I would get on with tomorrow,
And find my own new song to play,
And face whatever lies ahead,
If I could just catch up to yesterday.
And all the would-haves, could-have?s, should-haves
Look as if they?re moving in to stay.
Yesterday?
Like a melody that won?t resolve,
Like a sunset glow that fades too fast,
You?re always calling to my heart,
But you?re ever melting in my grasp.
Yesterday?
And I would get on with tomorrow,
Andind my own new song to play,
And face whatever lies ahead,
If I could just catch up to yesterday.
The past is dead, the future?s bright,
Just let her go, my friends all say.
And I?ll be fine, I?ll start anew,
As soon as I catch up to yesterday.
If I could just catch up to yesterday.
