This song is about being conflicted with wanting things to go back to how they were, because there were good things back then, but there were also bad things.
Humm
Humm
It seems like travelers never stop
Even when they find a place that feels like home
'Cause they're always looking up ahead
Around the bend
And hope there's better down the road
This dichotomy of all that's been
And all that be
And everything in front of me
Oh it tugs me towards the good ol' days
Where memories are the last thing that I want to see
So I go back and forth
Wishing life could feel
Like it used to
But those days are gone
It can't ever be
Like it used to
So even on the darkest days
Oh oh oh
I won't start missing yesterday
Oh oh oh
Sometimes I wanna take a trip
To see the east
And I don't think I'd be coming back
But Bedford's got a hold on me
It's the only place I can really see and that makes me sad
To my defense I'm on the fence about
If I'm a little happier bookended
Oh I hope to hear the present now
And make it count
I'm coming to my senses
So I go back and forth
Wishing life could feel
Like it used to
But those days are gone
It can't ever be
Like it used to
So even on the darkest days
Oh oh oh
I won't start missing yesterday
Oh oh oh
Ooo
So I go back and forth
Wishing life could feel
Like it used to
But those days are gone
It can't ever be
Like it used to
So even on the darkest days
Oh oh oh
I won't start missing yesterday
Oh oh oh
