Verse 1
Oh Elise it doesn't
matter what you say
I just can't stay
here every yesterday
Like keep on
acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget And make believe
we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
Interlude
Verse 2
Oh Elise it doesn't
matter what you do
I know I'll never
really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue
could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this
sense of sensing
something else
That hides away
But you and me
There're worlds to part
With aching looks
and breaking hearts
And all your prayers
hands can make
And Oh I just take as much
as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms around
Chorus
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't
hold my tears away
The way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd
keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl
I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make believe ran out

Outro
And every time I try
to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through
my clutching hands
But there's nothing
else I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do At all
