Mac DeMarco - Dreams From Yesterday Lyrics

Once your dreams
Come knockin' at your door
It's time to realize
You aren't dreamin' anymore
And once your life
Is set to settle down
Take a look around you
No more dreamin' to be found

So why, then
Are you cryin'?
It was you
Who denied them
And no amount of tears
Can roll back all the years
And bring back all your dreams from yesterday

Once a life
Believes it's got it set up
A closer look reveals
Just how empty you can feel
And once a dream
Is finally put to bed
Rest up, sleepyhead
You might as well be dead

So why, then
Are you cryin'?
It was you
Who denied them
And no amount of tears
Can roll back all the years
And bring back all your dreams from yesterday
