I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
Back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye
To the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to
[Chorus]
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Well thirty-five soon rolled around
And everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
The good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
The best years away
[Chorus]
Now I'm longin' for the freedom
That I let slip away
I took it all for granted
Now it's gone like yesterday
[Chorus: x2]
Remembering all those years, yesterday
No more school, my own car.
Back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye
To the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to
[Chorus]
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Well thirty-five soon rolled around
And everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
The good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
The best years away
[Chorus]
Now I'm longin' for the freedom
That I let slip away
I took it all for granted
Now it's gone like yesterday
[Chorus: x2]
Remembering all those years, yesterday
