I thought I saw you yesterday
But I didn't stop cause you was walking the opposite way
I guess I could have shouted out your name
But even if it was you I don't what I would say
We can sit and reminisce about the old school
Maybe share a cigarette because we both fools
Chop it up and compare perspectives
Life, Love, Stress, and Set backs
Yes
You could tell me how hard you had it
And you could 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 meaning to ask you if I'm doing alright

(Chorus)
Yesterday, was that you?
Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through
Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?

Yesterday, was that you?
Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through
Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?

I'm Shook
I know
I pushed when I should have 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 cant front I'm having a blast
But damned if I ain't afraid of how long its gonna last
Sitting here wishing we could kick it
Give me your opinions I do miss the criticisms
I didn't mean to be distant
Make a visit
I'll wait up and keep the coffee brewing in the kitchen
But who am I jokin' with?
Theres 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

was that you?
Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through
Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?

And when you left I didn't see it coming
I guess I slept it ain't like you was running
You crept out the front door slow
And I was so self-absorbed I didn't even know
And by the the time I looked up, it was booked up
You 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
Thats why I try not to cry over spilt beer
I can't even get mad that your gone
Leaving me was probably the best thing you ever taught me
I'm sorry, it's official
I was a fistful
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 with out 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

Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath reflect on what we've been through
Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?
