A lament for lost love. This is another song that was demoed as a pop punk song, kinda Green Day-ish. It didn't quite stay that way, but you can still hear that direction if you listen for it.

lyrics

You made me feel like the King of America
Or maybe just the King of our home town
You would be my Queen forever
We’d take on the world together
And nothing would ever slow us down

But that was yesterday
It doesn’t seem so far away
I wish I could go back
How I wish I could go back
Wish I could live those days again

But time brings love and luck and tragedy
And life is anything but fair
And I’d give anything to see
You still standing next to me
I turn and look but you’re not there

‘Cause that was yesterday...

I still can’t believe it’s real
I still see those spinning wheels
Oh how quickly life can change…

But that was yesterday
Sometimes it seems so far away
I’m never going back
I know I can’t go back
I’m never going back again
