lyrics

It seems like just yesterday
That today was tomorrow
And the day before yesterday was

Just yesterday
It seemed like I knew who I was
But that was only a childish dream

Am I not me
Cause I didn't see my future correctly?
Am I not me?
Well I don't want to be not me

It seems like just yesterday
That everything was borrowed
Conditional, temporary

These days
I'm certain I want what I've got
But I sure don't have all I need

Well don't I need all those things?
And in the meantime, could I still be happy?
Or am I not me?
Cause I certainly didn't expect to be

I will take this moment
To stand on my own feet again
I will take this moment
And try to make believe
In what I see

It seems like just yesterday
All my strifes and sorrows
Were sleeping bags zipped around me

These days
It's lovely to get out of bed
But it's scary to be so free

Am I not me
Cause I didn't keep that promise I knew I'd keep?
Am I not me?
Oh Mommy, can you see me trying?

I will take this moment
To stand on my own feet again
I will take this moment
And try to make believe
In what I see

It seems like just yesterday
That everything was just about to change
But that was so long ago
And it still seems the same

It seems I should remember
But I can't really say
What led me astray
Well, it's okay

Cause I will take this moment
To live for now and for then again
I'll give in to the current
And put that dream to bed
And out of my head

It seems just like yesterday
I've got an idea for a song no one ever will sing
