Yesterday

 Thought I saw you yesterday
but I didn't stop 'Cause you was walkin' the opposite way
 I guess I coulda shouted out your name
But even if it was you, I don't know what I would say

 We could sit and reminisce about the old school
 Maybe share a cigarette 'cause we both fools
 Chop it up and compare perspectives
Life, love, stress, and setbacks

Yes, you could tell me how hard you had it
 And you can show me all the scars to back it
 And we can analyze each complaint
Break it down and explain these mistakes I make

 I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry
 But you knew me back when I was a younger me
 You've seen Sean in all types of light
And I've been meanin' to ask you if I'm doin' alright

Yesterday zat you? Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you? (WHOLE THING 2x)

I'm shook, I know, I pushed when I shoulda pulled
Took it all back if I could, I put that on my soul
 And I would make a top-notch good listener
If you could block off a little time out to give it here

 Since we went our separate paths
I've hit a couple of snags that remind me of the past
 I can't front, I'm having a blast
But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last

  Sittin' here, wishin' we could kick it
Gimme your opinions, I do miss the criticisms
 I didn't mean to be distant, make a visit
I wait up and keep the coffee brewin' in the kitchen

  But who am I jokin' with?
There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it
 It doesn't matter, this is more than love
And maybe if I'm lucky, get to see you out the corner of

Yesterday zat you? Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you? (WHOLE THING 2x)

 And when you left, I didn't see it comin'
 I guess I slept, it ain't like you was runnin'
 You crept out the front door slow
And I was so self-absorbed, I didn't even know

 And by the time I looked up, it was booked up
Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff
 A whole house full of dreams and steps
I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept

 You disappeared but the history is still here
 That's why I try not to cry over spilled beer
 I can't even get mad that ya gone
Leavin' me was probably the best thing you ever taught me

 I'm sorry, it's official
 I was a fist-full, I didn't keep it simple
Chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins
Had so much hatred, now it brings me shame

Never thought about the world without you
And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you
 I thought I saw you yesterday
But I know it wasn't you 'cause you passed away, Dad
