King of Yesterday Lyrics
Can you still remember how it seemed
That we could live forever in a lovers dream
And falling was the best part, but now you know
The things you cling to, your heart can start to grow.
You, you're walking away
I've been there, now, I know what to say...
I'm the King of Yesterday.
A silly little love song for myself.
It's all I ever do you know I shine the shell.
A pretty little picture, the face of you.
You were my setting sun and now
You're every view.
You, you're walking away,
I've been there now, I know what to say...
I'm the King of Yesterday
Why don't you stay?
Take a little time,
Throw it on the line.
Let me believe that you believe in me.
Baby turn around,
Look at what I found.
You are the one that I want.
(bis)
Someday I'll be over, on my own.
Believing all the legends of the loves I've known.
Seeing you in summer the way we were
When you were seventeen, you know, I much preferred
You walking away.
I've been there, now I know what to say,
I'm the King of Yesterday.
Why don't you stay?
Take a little time…
You were the one that I wanted.
That we could live forever in a lovers dream
And falling was the best part, but now you know
The things you cling to, your heart can start to grow.
You, you're walking away
I've been there, now, I know what to say...
I'm the King of Yesterday.
It's all I ever do you know I shine the shell.
A pretty little picture, the face of you.
You were my setting sun and now
You're every view.
You, you're walking away,
I've been there now, I know what to say...
I'm the King of Yesterday
Throw it on the line.
Let me believe that you believe in me.
Baby turn around,
Look at what I found.
You are the one that I want.

Believing all the legends of the loves I've known.

When you were seventeen, you know, I much preferred
You walking away.
I've been there, now I know what to say,
I'm the King of Yesterday.
You were the one that I wanted.

this song is just beautiful, it really is. it's about holding onto the past even when you know you shouldn't.
This is 'I Do' part II. still holding on to what he thought he could let go.
