The Girl From Yesterday Lyrics

what this really brings to my mind is that this is a war family. The girl's husband/boyfriend was deployed overseas and she hopes he comes back.

That is exactly how I have always interpreted this song. I feel like maybe the man got killed in battle and is MIA which is why she'll always be the girl from yesterday but still waits by the phone and dreams of things he'll say when he returns.
