Yesterday

I thought I saw you yesterday But I didn't stop, 'cause you was walkin' the opposite way I guess I coulda' shouted out ya name But even if it was you, I don't know what I would say We could sit and reminisce about the old school Maybe share a cigarette, because we both fools Chop it up and compare perspectives Life, love, stress and set-backs, yes So you could tell me how hard you had it And you could show me all the scars to back it And we could analyze each complaint Break it down and explain these mistakes I make I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry But you knew me back when I was a younger me You seen Sean in all types of light And I've been meanin' to ask you if I'm doin' alright [Chorus x2] Yesterday Was that you? Looked just like you Strange thangs my imagination might do Take a breath, reflect on what we been through Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you? I'm shook, I know, I pushed when I shoulda' pulled Took it all back if I could, I put that on my soul And I would make a top-notch good listener If you could block-off a little time out to give it here Since we went our separate paths I've hit a couple snags that remind me of the past I can't front, I'm havin' a blast But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last Sittin' here wishin' we could kick it Give me your opinions, I do miss your criticisms I didn't mean to be distant, make a visit I'll wait up and keep the coffee brewin' in the kitchen But who am I jokin' wit'? There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it It doesn't matter, this is more than love And maybe if I'm lucky, get to see you out the corner of [Chorus x2] Yesterday Was that you? Looked just like you Strange thangs my imagination might do Take a breath, reflect on what we been through Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you? And when you left, I didn't see it comin' I guess I slept, it ain't like you was runnin' You crept out the front door slow And I was so self-absorbed I didn't even know And by the time I looked up it was booked up Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff A whole house full of dreams and steps I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept You disappeared but the history is still here It's why I try not to cry over spilt beer I can't even get mad that you're gone Leavin' me was probably the best thing you ever taught me I'm sorry, it's official I was a fist-full, I didn't keep it simple Chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins Had so much hate, now it brings me shame Never thought about the world wit'out you And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you I thought I saw you yesterday But I knew it wasn't you, 'cause you passed away, dad Looked just like you Strange thangs my imagination might do Take a breath, reflect on what we been through Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?
