Lost in Yesterday Songtext
von Tame Impala

When we were living 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

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

Cause it might've been something, who′s to say?
Does it help to get lost in yesterday?
And you might have missed something, don't say
Cause it hurts to be lost in yesterday
And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You′ve been digging it up like Groundhog Day
Cause it might′ve been something, don't say
Cause it hurts to be lost in yesterday


Matty said life didn′t go the way that he planned it
Said "oh what I'd give to start over, Boy I′d command it"
So what was I ever afraid of? Why did I worry?
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 have been something, who's to say?
Does it help to get lost in yesterday?
And you might have missed something, don′t say
Cause it hurts to get lost in yesterday
And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You've been digging it up like Groundhog Day
Cause it might have been something, don′t say
Cause it hurts to stay lost in yesterday


If it calls you, embrace it
If it haunts you, face it
I know it′s mad, I understand
It's all just snakes and ladders
The myriad, you never had
There′s only one that matters
If it calls you, embrace it
If it holds you, erase it
