final version of my "homesick for yesterday" trilogy!

original music (120103/not released) by "raiders of the lost heart"

homesick for yesterday/Lyrics:

Verse 1
She drives through the streets at midnight
Where the old lights used to glow
The houses still are standing
But they feel like strangers now

She isn’t missing places
Or the town she used to know
She’s missing how the summer felt
When time was moving slow

Pre-Chorus
And every song on the radio
Opens up a door
To someone she once used to be
And can’t become once more

Chorus
She is homesick for yesterday
For a feeling that won’t stay
For the hearts that felt forever
Before forever slipped away

She doesn’t know what she’s searching for
Only what she left behind
She misses not just someone
But the magic of that time

Verse 2
The arcade is a coffee shop now
The schoolyard gates are gone
But somewhere in the evening air
An old cassette plays on

She sees a face in memory
A smile beneath the rain
But even more than losing him
She longs to feel that way again

Bridge
Maybe home is not a doorway
Or a window filled with light
Maybe home is who we were
On one unfinished night

Final Chorus
She is homesick for yesterday
For a feeling that won’t stay
For the hearts that felt forever
Before forever slipped away

She doesn’t know what she’s searching for
Only what she left behind
She misses not just someone
But the magic of that time

Outro
And as the morning turns to blue
She whispers through the rain
“I don’t want the past back…
I just want to feel that way again.”
