This song is pretty much the theme of the 1997 romantic drama, 'Love Jones' I was first introduced to it after watching that movie, when it opens and the song is playing as the viewer is looking at Nina's portfolio. God. I fell in love with it immediately.
I believe the film's first act does a very good job of explaining the meaning behind the song- a woman is heartbroken/leaving a broken relationship/venturing out into the new and unknown and she feels as if the future is bleak. She yearns for those simple moments, those good mornings- those yesterdays...but they're gone.
But she refuses to stay in this rut- and moves on. They say she's hopeless- but she's gonna emerge on top.
Or at least that's what I think.
