[Verse 1]
Yesterday feels like running away
Feels like givin' the time, gettin' lost losing my mind
I'm feelin' low and I got no place to go
Gettin' all tied up, feelin' all tied up yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh, yesterday feels like running away
And I'm givin' up time
I'm just getting lost, getting lost, I can't find my mind
I'm getting kind of low and I've got no place to go
Getting all tied up, feeling all gone
Talk now, yeah
[Verse 3]
Oh, yesterday feels like runnin' away
And I know I'm giving up all my time
I know that everything in my chest
I'm getting lost with my losin' mind
Feeling kind of low
And I've got no place to go
Gettin' all tied up and feeling all gone
[Outro]
I need some better love to
Heed the smooth and low
There's no chance for a better life
I know that, oh yeah
