Let's runaway to yesterday
Or somewhere better than now
I've got a car, a couple of dollars, and you
These wasted days, the films, and the cowards
The romance of just being through
With calling all of these okay times golden
Man, I'm not lost, I'm just wandering
(Yeah, you know I'm not looking back)
We're all sons and daughters
My generation's in love with itself
I think we all could use a little more yesterdays
And I take my time, the fight doesn't last
My whole damn life is a song from my past
The chorus rings a psalm:
"Nothing good ever stays, ever stays"
(Yeah, you know I'm not looking back)
When summer arrived I squinted my eyes
'Cause it didn't look to familiar
Don't trust the girls in California
The look in their eyes will kill ya
It's strange time, the ones we're living
The people were supposed to be are braver and lighter
The heart of liar is something you shouldn't have to see
And I take my time, the fight doesn't last
My whole damn life is a song from my past
The chorus rings a psalm:
"Nothing good ever stays, ever stays, ever stays, ever stays"
(Yeah, you know I'm not looking back)
