Leon Bridges - That Was Yesterday Lyrics

Yesterday I had nothing
Didn't know whether I'd amount to something
I had holes in my shoes and in my clothes
Only yesterday

I was just a boy living amongst children
Not really a toy that I could play with
I would pretend that anything could happen
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday

No matter how far I come
Still know where I'm from, oh
Never let it slip away
Still trying to figure out
What the game is all about, oh
So I take it day by day by day

Yesterday no one was listening
Today is gonna be different
You couldn't hear my voice under the surface
That was yesterday

Yesterday I had no direction
In my mind I had nothing but questions
I couldn't never dreamed of what would happened
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday

No matter how far I come
Still know where I'm from, oh
Never let it slip away
Still trying to figure out
What the game is all about, oh
So I take it day by day by day

Yesterday I was hoping
Today the future's wide open
I was lost in the sounds of my mind
But that was yesterday

That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday, oh
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
