Lyrics
Have you ever stopped to think she said?
What might have been
I said, well once I had wondered
But it was yesterday’s dream
No sorrow or regret she said?
Now you can come clean
It’s easy to throw stones, I said
When it’s yesterday’s dream
Now we live our lives in one direction, the only way we know
And I’m not sure a multiverse has anything to show
Perhaps the ghost of ‘might have been’ or chances long since gone
But they only add a weight of woe to dampen our life’s song
So we’ll take each step, she said
Saviour every day
Who knows which way things turn
Or what cards are yet to play
Don’t worry about time, I said, because
One day we’ll be old
And we can look back and realise that all of this was gold
Well I don’t think I’ll remember, all the things we haven’t done
But I know I won’t forget the times, we were basking in the sun
Now we’ve walked this road together, through the rain and every day
We’ve grown a little stronger now, so all I have to say is
We can’t just waste our time, living out yesterday’s dream
It would be a crime against our love
We can’t just waste our lives, worrying about yesterday’s dream
I know that fate is always on our side
Live for today, and let tomorrow take care of itself
Live for today, the best is yet to come
Live for today, and let tomorrow take care of itself
Live for today, the best is yet to come
