Lost In Yesterday letra

When we were livin' in squalor, wasn't it heaven?
Back when we used to get on it four out of seven
Now even though that was a time I hated from day one
Eventually terrible memories turn into great ones

If they call you, embrace them
If they hold you, erase them

'Cause it might've been somethin' new to say
Does it help to get lost in yesterday?
And you might've missed somethin', don't say
'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday

And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You've been pickin' it up like Groundhog Day
'Cause it might've been somethin', don't say
'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday

Why is it life didn't go the way that I planned it
Said, "Oh, what I'd give to start over," boy, I demand it
So, what was I ever afraid of? Why did I worry?
And why was I ever so brainless? head in a flurry

'Cause if they call you, embrace them
If they stall you, erase them

'Cause it might've been somethin' new to say
Does it help to get lost in yesterday?
And you might've missed somethin', don't say
'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday

And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You've been pickin' it up like Groundhog Day
'Cause it might've been somethin', don't say
'Cause it has to get lost in yesterday

If it calls you, embrace it
If it haunts you, face it

I know it's bad, I understand
It's only Snakes and Ladders
The period you never had
There's only one that matters

And if it calls you, embrace it
If it holds you, erase it
Erase it
