Paul, do you remember me
We shook hands a few times
You made the drive despite demand
Say, could you come back to me
Cos there are things that I regret
Too much dwell and too much fret
Maybe, come back and stay
So I can say
I never meant to dwell on more than yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Say, did you see me trembling
When my fingers hit the notes
When dust had settled and blocked the throat
Fate, could see us back again
But the day before I do
I'll be rested and prime for you
Maybe, come back and stay
So I can say
I never meant to dwell on more than yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Just to say
I never meant to dwell on more than
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

Did you tell them I was coming?
Did you tell them I’m new here?
Can we stop and buy some Flowers
Cos I feel bad I’ve just bought beer
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun
Met a girl she’s a florist
And oh so modest about her career
But her boyfriend can talk for hours
He’s an ego pioneer
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun
I’ve been called robotic
And intense to name a few
So I’m trying my best to be soft
Around the edges just for you
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun
This isn’t a party
It’s a social interview
It determines my hierarchy
Between the strong and those confused
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun

You pretend to kill the driver
And I play the role of countdown timer
3, 2, 1
And even though we’re only joking
You’re on the backseat laughing and choking
Ha Ha Ha
Happy to play the joker
The clown and the fool
Happy to tread the finest line for you
When it’s dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So
And everything that’s cute and fragile
You wanna ruin, squeeze or defile
You’re a hands on kind of girl
And in a game of would you rather
You leave us speechless
With visions of fire
Good grief
Heaven’s above
Happy to play the joker
The clown and the fool
Happy to tread the finest line for you
When it’s dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So
Happy to play the joker
The clown and the fool
Happy to tread the finest line for you
When it’s dark
When it’s dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
When it’s
So dark
So

Like artefacts
The late night snacks
And cats that wanna kill me
Remain locked away
Behind the solid glass
Though my body is damaged
By the fries we ravaged
My hearts remains in tact
And I hope in time it all comes flooding back
If the honey honeymoon is over
Can I buy a souvenir
Cos I doubt your gift shops open this time next year
If half the world away
Is too much from day to day
If my voice falls short
On the telephone
Then I’ll package my hand
In a UPS van
So you’ll have something to hold
As you grow old
Thinking about what could’ve been
If the honey honeymoon is over
Can I buy a souvenir
Cos I doubt your gift shops open this time of year
This time of year
I doubt your gift shops open this time next year
If the honey honeymoon is over
Can I buy a souvenir
Cos I doubt your gift shops open this time next year

Everyone’s out making money
And I’m eating out the jar
Everyone’s creating art in high places
And I‘ve barely left the chair
It all feels incomplete
But I never admit defeat
I’ll be coming back from way behind
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
Everyone’s getting married
But I barley hold a stare
Everyone’s getting free and liberated
And I’m chained here to the desk
It all feels incomplete
But I never admit defeat
Cos I’ll be coming back from way behind
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
It all feel incomplete
And I never admit defeat
I’ll be coming back from way behind
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared

Spinning signs on boulevards
Putting faith in tarot cards
You’ve been a valet
The taxi on the way
Late at night
Ah look at that
You’ve made it
Now grab a glass and raise it
How does it feel?
Does it seem surreal?
Cause when all seem faded
You joined the one 1% that made it
How does it feel
Does it seem surreal? So surreal
Waiting tables, manning bars
Pressing sheets and washing cars
People have come and gone
Told you you’re the one, every time
Ah look at that
You’ve made it
Now grab a glass and raise it
How does it feel?
Does it seem surreal?
Cause when all seem faded
You joined the one 1% that made it
How does it feel
Does it seem surreal? So surreal
Look at that
You’ve made it
Now grab a glass and raise it
How does it feel?
Does it seem surreal?
Cause when all seem faded
You joined the one 1% that made it
How does it feel

Gonna pick up something to ease my mind
With long haul flying
And maybe there’s a possibility
I’ll drift away so unaware
The planes been plucked out of the air
And lose my sense on what’s reality
Who knows what comes next
I can only interpret text
But I hope when I pass the glare
That you’re with me there
Maybe I should’ve listened closer
To what you had to say
Dan why don’t you stay in LA?
Always had a dream
To travel far and flung between
The places others told me I had to see
But I never imagined the hours I’d spend
In transit trying to make a friend
Discomforts really broke the best of me
But who knows what comes next
I can only interpret text
But I hope when I pass the glare
That you’re with me there
Maybe I should’ve listened closer
To what you had to say
Dan why don’t you stay in LA?
Maybe I should’ve listened closer
To what you had to say
Dan why don’t you stay in LA?

Are you needing shelter
Cause I would offer mine
But I’m in no better place at this point in time
You crashed through the back door
Swept me off my feet
Still surveying all the damage whilst half asleep
I know there’s options
And I know there’s time
But ain’t it just a shame it’s an uphill climb
Without a warning sign
I didn’t know that you could be coldblooded
But you’re letting it show
All the while you’ve been so cold blooded
Now you’re letting me go
And if you needed sugar
Someone to hear your cry
Then I hope you know
That I would be first in line
In time you will forget me
Not a thought will reside
Just a lonely soul on couch reclined
I know there’s options
And I know there’s time
But ain’t it just a shame it’s an uphill climb
Without a warning sign
I didn’t know that you could be coldblooded
But you’re letting it show
All the while you’ve been so cold blooded
Now you’re letting me go
I didn’t know that you could be coldblooded
But you’re letting it show
All the while you’ve been so cold blooded
Now you’re letting me go
