Yesterday Threw Everything At Me Lyrics
Switch on the light, between each other
Elevated to your side, Now i'm nervous
Its time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history
You are, first on my list
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
Plastic flowers that fight for colour
Shadows floating on the ground, that always follow
Like international acclaim, it comes and goes never the same
You are, first on my list
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
And i will run with it
And sunlight will break into my eyes
And it seems like you plugged the world in
'Cause sunlight is streaming from your eyes
You are, first on my list
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before
Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before
You are, first on my list
When everything around is gone i know
You are, the first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
Elevated to your side, Now i'm nervous
Its time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
Shadows floating on the ground, that always follow
Like international acclaim, it comes and goes never the same
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
And sunlight will break into my eyes
And it seems like you plugged the world in
'Cause sunlight is streaming from your eyes
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
We got a chance we didn't have before
Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before
When everything around is gone i know
You are, the first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is

this is i hope a candidate for a future single, as its got all the makings of a hit! i think its about basically telling a loved one that they are the most important person in their life. they are the first thing that comes into mind also the line Its time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history to me makes me think that perhaps he's fancied this person,or has gone out with her for a while and wants to say how much she means to him
hey steve....please stop with religious themes.....everyone on this site is trying to interpret songs as being religiousand frankly its absurd...there is no way that this song has any connection to christianity...i have never heard such complete bollox in my life...where on earth did u pull that shit from....its ridiculous...for the love of god(and jesus and john the baptist and whoever else u think this is about) shut up...this is a love song, plain and true
and does anyone think this part sounds quite Dove ish And i will run with it And sunlight will break into my eyes And it seems like you plugged the world in 'Cause sunlight is streaming from your eyes
i love this song sooo much and i think athlete are so good i'm amazed that so few people have heard them. i think this would be a cool single, and also chances. this song is cool
Best song on the album!!
first off, i think athlete is the best band from britain of the 21st century. about this song, when i first heard this song i thought that it was about loving someone, but now that i listened to it again, i realized that steveyg2004 is right. it is a song about loving God and knowing that when everything you have is gone, you will still have Him and He will bring you eternal happiness in Heaven.
ATHLETE ROCK! WooH! GREAT SONG TOO!
I can relate to it sort of. I think it is someone about to ask someone out by giving them plastic flowers and he is nervous - naturally -
steveyg2004 is right on the assesment of the song and much to the disappointment of mojo_pin it is well known that all the band members in Athlete are christians. Most of the songs are about love for another person or for God. Whats wrong in that, at least they have hope and faith in something real. In none of there songs do they bring out bitterness or anger.
I think its a lesson we should all learn from!
I love the line "Plastic flowers that fight for colour" it makes you think so much it opens the doors of my mind so they can be filled with all the other lines in the song i personally love athlete i love british bands and wish they would come to texas so i could hear them live. ~Im so good at vanishing~
From what I read people believe this about God, is not, even Athlete themselves say its not, its about lying and how it destorys everything
The last line "Time to tell you honestly" Kinda tells you that, but the use of visual lies like "plastic flowers" also give it away.
The chorus is about how liying desotry everthing, "and everything around mes gone I know"
