Tame Impala
lost in yesterday
When we were living in squalorWasn't it heaven?
Back when we used to get on it
Four outta seven
Now even though that was a time I
Hated from day one
Eventually, terrible memories
Turned into great ones
So if they call you
Embrace them
If they hold you
Erase them
'Cause it might have been something, who's to say?
Doesn't help to get lost in yesterday
And you mighta missed something, don't say
'Cause it has to get lost in yesterday
And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You've been picking it up like Groundhog Day
'Cause it might have been something, don't say
'Cause it has to get lost in yesterday
Might've said life didn't go the
Way that he'd 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 I stall you
Erase me
'Cause it might have been something, who's to say?
Doesn't help to get lost in yesterday
And you mighta missed something, don't say
'Cause it has to get lost in yesterday
And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You've been picking it up like Groundhog Day
'Cause it might have been something, don't say
'Cause it has to get lost in yesterday
So 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 have
There's only one
That matters
And if it calls you
Embrace it
If it haunts you
Erase it (and face it)
