Still Holding On to Yesterday

Verse 1

Neon buzzing, barroom haze

Same stool, same old place

Bartender don’t ask me why

He just keeps ‘em coming, lets ‘em slide

Pre-Chorus

I swore tonight I’d let you go

But here I am like I don’t know

Chorus

I’m still holding on to yesterday

Like a fool who won’t move on

Your memory’s a heartbreak song

I keep playing all night long

I’ve tried to run, I’ve tried to stay

But I can’t outrun the pain

So I’ll be right here again

Holding on to yesterday

Verse 2

Your picture’s worn, the edges fade

But not the love we made

Every face I see in here

Turns into you after a beer

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself I’m doing fine

But that’s a lie I drink each time

Chorus

I’m still holding on to yesterday

Like a fool who won’t move on

Your memory’s a heartbreak song

I keep playing all night long

I’ve tried to run, I’ve tried to stay

But I can’t outrun the pain

So I’ll be right here again

Holding on to yesterday

Bridge

If letting go was easy

I’d have left you long ago

But these ghosts you left behind me

Ain’t the kind that let me go

Final Chorus (Lift)

Yeah, I’m still holding on to yesterday

Like it’s all I’ve ever known

Your goodbye still echoes loud

In this quiet, crowded room

I’ve tried to run, I’ve tried to pray

But I can’t wash you away

So I’ll be right here again

Holding on to yesterday

Tag/Outro

Neon fading, closing time

Still your memory, still all mine
