Yesterday (Circa Summer 80 Somethin)
It was undeniably summer and I was certifiably cool
With my acid-washed jacket and my stone-washed jeans
I rose out of the kiddie pool
You were a walking want ad; you had summer on your side
Our front yards faced each other from across the great divide
And the sunbeams cracked like jumper cables
I was cranking up the Mellencamp
You were dancing barefoot on a picnic table
Dammit girl truly
Goddammit girl truly
Goddammit girl truly
God damn!
I still remember every word you said
Like I always said I would
Since you walked on the water bed
Stood right there in my head for good
You know you kept some honeysuckle in that special dresser drawer
Every spring both knees buckle, both knees buckle
and I hit the floor
I hit the floor every spring at the hint of the scent of a thought of that thing
I still remember every word you said
like I always said I would
Since you walked on the water bed
Stood right there in my head for good
The easy way we used to play
When there was no such thing as yesterday
We threw our two hearts high
The first half felt like flyin
I still remember every word you said
like I always said I would
since you walked on the water bed
stood right there in my head for good
