When we were livinÂŽ in squalor, wasnÂŽt 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 stall you, erase them
ÂŽCause it mightÂŽve been somethinÂŽ, whoÂŽs to say? Does it help to get lost in yesterday? And you mightÂŽve missed somethinÂŽ, donÂŽt say ÂŽCause it has to be lost in yesterday And youÂŽre gonna have to let it go someday YouÂŽve been pickinÂŽ it up like Groundhog Day ÂŽCause it mightÂŽve been somethinÂŽ, donÂŽt say ÂŽCause it has to be lost in yesterday
Why is it life didnÂŽt go the way that I planned it Said, "Oh, what IÂŽd 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
ÂŽCause if they call you, embrace them If they stall you, erase them
ÂŽCause it mightÂŽve been somethinÂŽ, whoÂŽs to say? Does it help to get lost in yesterday? And you mightÂŽve missed somethinÂŽ, donÂŽt say ÂŽCause it has to be lost in yesterday And youÂŽre gonna have to let it go someday YouÂŽve been pickinÂŽ it up like Groundhog Day ÂŽCause it mightÂŽve been somethinÂŽ, donÂŽt say ÂŽCause it has to get lost in yesterday
If it calls you, embrace it If it haunts you, face it
I know itÂŽs bad, I understand
ItÂŽs only Snakes and Ladders The period you never had ThereÂŽs only one that matters
And if it calls you, embrace it If it holds you, erase it And face it
