Breakaway

When we were under the sun

Your thoughts race how they did

When you were young

When we were one in the same

Now when I want you, I call a different name

I wouldn’t want you to cry

I wouldn’t want you to see that side of me

I don’t remember a time

I’m taking only a half of what I need

And if you still know my name

It was only yesterday

Oh just give me yesterday

And the sun will meet the moon

But the marker’s always you

Yeah, the marker's always you

You, you, you

I don’t wanna know what you’re being now

I don’t wanna hear that you’re coming down

I heard it, you said it before

You know it, I’m closing the door

I wanna be behind you, wherever you go

I wanna give it some meaning

And I want you to know

That when you cover your ears and your eyes and your wrists

I wanna grab on your hand with my broken fist

And break away from the words

A holy voice isn’t what you really heard

You’re too close to the flame

You can’t feel it but you’re burning just the same

And the sun will meet the moon

But the marker’s always you

Yeah, the marker's always you

And if you still know my name

It was only yesterday

Oh just give me yesterday

In a day, in a day, in a day

I don’t wanna know what you’re being now

I don’t wanna hear that you’re coming down

And I heard it, you said it before

You know it, I’m closing the door

I don’t wanna hear the sounds you made

It's so hard, it’s so hard

Oh, won't you give me yesterday

Oh, won't you give me yesterday
