[Verse 1]
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
And today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
[Chorus]
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
[Verse 2]
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
[Chorus]
And this is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
[Bridge]
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes (Don't close your eyes)
Don't close your eyes
[Chorus]
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be? Yeah!
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
(Who you want to be, yeah)
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

We started messing around at my house with different low-end synths and lo-fi beats and this mellow acoustic song became transformed. I’m not quite sure how we got here but I’m glad that the song arrived.
