Younger Than Yesterday Lyrics
No more like green leaves
There's some other help, no words
I will not have gone home this year
But I'm still not a bird
Ooh
Ooh
If it takes all summer long
Just to write one simple song
There's too much to focus on
Clearly that is something wrong
Ooh
Ooh
There's some other help, no words
I will not have gone home this year
But I'm still not a bird
Ooh
Just to write one simple song
There's too much to focus on
Clearly that is something wrong
Ooh

What I hear:
No more light-green leaves This summer held no words I will not have gone home this year But I'm still not a bird
Ooh Ooh
If it takes all summer long Just to write one simple song There's too much to focus on Clearly there is something wrong
Ooh Ooh
Still not sure what it means. The second verse seems to be pretty clearly about a kind of writer's block/artistic frustration. Maybe the first verse is suggesting that while on tour, he doesn't have the type of experiences that normally give him the inspiration to write songs.
I love this song. I think it's about the downside to being in a band- never being home, pressure to put out new stuff, etc.
