I've been waiting so long for you to call
But you never did
And I've never wanted so badly to be wrong
About believing
But your smiles were straight
And your eyes were shifting
And I start to think that maybe we're just out of touch
Lately I've been wondering
If it's because of me
That you've been hard to reach
I know things aren't what they used to be
But you still promised me
That we would be thick as thieves
But your laughs seem fake
And my heart starts to break
At the thought that obligation's got us catching up
And you said don't wait up
As I watched you turn away
And I know it's too late
As my fingertips brush where you were standing
Yesterday
Yesterday
Remember it
Like it was
Yesterday
Yesterday
Cause it seems to me
That everything's changed
Since you said don't wait up
And I watched you turn away oh
But the memory keeps playing
Can't get it
Can't get it
Out of my head
Out of my head
My head
Your clouds of smoke crowd the room
I never thought that would be you
I guess we all changed in our own ways
But I can barely recognize who you've
Been turning into
I'm contemplating the second hand
While the empty air makes its demands
I'm looking past your absent glances
Trying second chances at amends
But we were only friends in the past tense (in the past tense)
And you said don't wait up
As I watched you turn away
And I know it's too late
As my fingertips brush where you were standing
Yesterday
Yesterday
Remember it
Like it was
Yesterday
Yesterday
Admittedly
Everything has changed
Since you said don't wait up
And I watched you turn away oh
But the memory keeps playing
You said don't wait up (can't get it can't get it out)
As I watched you turn away oh (can't get it)
And I know it's too late (can't get it out)
But the memory keeps playing (can't get it, can't get it out) (memory keeps playing)
Maybe we're just out of touch (keeps playing)
Can't get it
Can't get it
Out of my head
Out of my head
My head
My head
My head
My head
My head
