[Verse 1] We used to sit out on the back steps Talking long after dark Making plans we’d laugh about now Like we’d somehow outrun time There was a certainty between us You could feel it in the air Funny how the things you lean on most Can vanish when you’re not prepared [Chorus] Forever was yesterday A word we threw around so easily Like nothing good could slip away Like love and time would wait for us Now I look at what remains A few old photographs and names And wonder when it all got carried off Forever was yesterday [Verse 2] The places that we thought would stay Are different now or simply gone The little bar on Cedar Avenue Closed up years ago The friends who swore we’d grow old together Scattered farther than we knew Somewhere between the years we lost The world kept moving through [Chorus] Forever was yesterday A word we threw around so easily Like nothing good could slip away Like love and time would wait for us Now I look at what remains A few old photographs and names And wonder when it all got carried off Forever was yesterday [Instrumental Break] [Rising synth arpeggios] [Bridge] Nobody tells you when you’re living it That these are the days you’ll miss We thought we’d have another summer Another chance to make it right But life keeps closing doors behind you While you’re looking at the light [Final Chorus] Forever was yesterday That’s what it feels like from here now Everything we couldn’t picture ending Found its way somehow The dreams, the roads, the people The versions of ourselves They’re still alive inside the memories Just nowhere else [Outro] To all the things we thought were waiting Where they can’t be found I don’t try to hold them anymore I just let them drift away And think about how certain we once were Forever was yesterday © 2026 Project ∞X.
