Lyrics Yesterday's Girl - Chris Cave

With every girl's heart I win another battle begins
Don't recognize it's a sin when she's throwing them hints
Blowing the wind in her hair, kisses blown on my phone
The girl from yesterday is still waiting at my home
But my phone is turned silent and my home door is locked
Pickpocket her heart I'll give it back once we fucked
Guess my heart is just one solid piece of rock
Don't matter my excuses guess that's just bad luck

You know for me it always starts as a meaningful encounter
Real love till the tail of the story comes back around
And slaps me, even beats her on to the ground
Doesn't surprise me, but she thought it was love that she found
Boundaries I put around me right from the start
I write from the heart, thought it wouldn't be this hard
I just imagine what she feels now
What should I say next
And then again, somehow
I'm just ignoring her text

Same way that it went with my ex
My empathy lacks
And meanwhile my dependency slacks
Every time I'm catching on
I get confronted with facts
Every time the love's strong
My mind's asking who's next
I'm losing self-respect
To put it in retrospect (reverse and back)
Neglect the place that I grew up in
All due respect, the place that I grew up in and then turned my back

Returning back to the village
Where I once grew up
I'm looking back on the damage
And the bonds screwed up
I see the paths I used to frequent
Lads that used to pretend
There was only one gent a real friend in the end

It was time
Time to go
Time to ride
Time to see, observe enough time to rise
Utilize sunrises and clear blue skies
No ill advice, cries or lies in hindsight
Now I got joy in my eyes, yeah I'm enjoying the flies
Used to be scared of heights now I'm enjoying the flight
I spend so much time trying to do what's right
But it all backfired in the light of the night

'Cause that's when I tried to fight my recent past
I grabbed a pen and paper and a wrote a piece real fast
Afterall, this was all just a decent test
I'm glad to say this is where I found my peace at last
I hope this peace will last

I hope this peace will last
