Hey, why does the grammer have to be correct? I listened to this song very closely on headphones, and it is DEFINITELY "yesterday WAS over..." The lyrics are correct. He's saying yesterday WAS....but this is today and I'm moving on. I have to admit I absolutely love this song. Best all-american rejects song ever. The violin (i guess it's violin) makes it so sad/inspirational/hopeful at the same time, which perfectly captures the mood, and which is really how you feel when you're trying to survive a rough breakup. The words are so perfect, and I think a lot of ppl can relate to it when they are going through bad breakups, like you want to go back, just thinking of them hurts (that face is tearing holes in me again) but you have to let go because once you move on (the memory slips away) things are much better (there'll be a better view from here).
I especially like the line "I'm holding on by letting go of you." And it's true.
