Just close your eyes and then remember The thoughts you've locked away When tomorrow comes you'll wish You had today [Chorus] And as we sit here alone Looking for a reason to go on It's so clear that all we have now Are our thoughts of yesterday If you're still there when it's all over I'm scared I'll have to say That a part of you has gone Since yesterday [Chorus] Well, maybe this could be the ending With nothing left of you A hundred wishes couldn't say I don't want to [Chorus] It's so clear that all we have now Are thoughts of yesterday
