Me and My Yesterday Church

Farewell,

Farewell to all my conversations

Farewell to all my bright heart's dreamin's

I just wanna feel something

I just wanna believe in something

Keep me up all night

Keep me up long nights.

Farewell,

Farewell to all my yesterday's teachings

Farewell to all my last year's feelings

I just wanna feel something

I just wanna believe in something

Keep me up all year long

Keep me up all year long.

Hello,

Hello to all my new conversations

Hello to all my sad heart's seasons

I once felt something

I had once felt something

Loved you yesterday

Loved you once yesterday.

Hello,

Hello to all my new inspirations

Hello to all my waking sensations

No more sunrise suffocations

No more noontide horrorfications

Let you go

Let you go for all my tomorrows.

Overcome here,

Overcome and not forsaking

Overcome here not letting you flow by

My yesterday's illuminations

My tomorrow's inaugurations

Won't let you go

Won't let you go, no, not I.

No more,

No more sad goodbyes

No more lost goodbyes

No more dark night's weepings

No more daylight sweepings

Becoming has commenced

Becoming is becoming again.

LYRICS

Hello
The sunny place for shady people
A crowded room where nobody goes
You can be whoever you wanna be here

And Oh
I’ve been living at the Chateau
Shouldn’t drive but I should really go home
I don’t even know ‘em but they won’t leave here

Frightened by my own reflection
Desperate for a new connection
Pull you in but don’t you get too close
Love you now but not tomorrow
Wrong to steal but not to borrow
Pull you in but don’t you get too close

I’ve been California dreaming
Plastic hearts are bleeding
Keep me up all night
(keep me up)
Keep me up all night
(all night)

Lost in black hole conversation
Sunrise suffocation
Keep me up all night
(keep me up)
Keep me up all night

I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something
But I keep feeling nothing all night long

All night long
All night long
All night long

Hello
I’ll tell you all the people I know
Sell you something that you already own
I can be whoever you want me to be

Love me now but not tomorrow
Fill me up but leave me hollow
Pull me in but don’t you get too close

I’ve been California dreaming
Plastic hearts are bleeding
Keep me up all night
(keep me up)
Keep me up all night
(all night)

lost in Black hole conversation
Sunrise suffocation
Keep me up all night
(keep me up)
Keep me up all night

I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something
But I keep feeling nothing all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

I’ve been California dreaming
Plastic hearts are bleeding
Keep me up all night
(keep me up)
Keep me up all night
(all night)

lost in Black hole conversations
Sunrise suffocation
Keep me up all night
(keep me up)
Keep me up all night

I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something
But I keep feeling nothing all night long
