Against the grain Against the odds I'll rise and I won't trip again The dawn of a new day never looked As good as this The thoughts of yesterday forgotten I like the way this new skin feels Bring me splinters of tomorrow Collect the parts where I win

We are the kids from yesterday When we were young we used to say That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break Now we are the kids from yesterday 'Cause you wanna live forever in the lights you make And now this could be the last of all

I've gone away Life's high's and crashing low's I've mourned the past and The death of yesterdays The one you seek Is no longer What tomorrow brings This burden upon my shoulders For I don't wish to carry anymore

Why does love got to be so sad? Got to find me a way To take me back to yesterday How can I ever hope to forget you? Won't you show me a place Where I can hide my lonely face? I know you're going to break my heart if I let you Like a moth to a flame Like

I was broke yesterday (yeah) I was rich by the morning (the morning) Better keep up yeah, that's a foreign (yeah) Hit your girl with endurance ('durance) She like "I'm okay, (okay) 'Cause I got insurance" (yeah) Your number, won't store it Call me, I
