[intro]
[verse 1]
It's been a long time since you left, a year or more.
seems an eternity, since you walked out that door.
Tried to move on, but my mind strayed back to you.
Good times an' bad times, though they were few.
[verse 2]
I lost touch months ago, friends said you went West.
same friends said you'd changed, not for the best.
Got in with some bad types, had you hooked on Crack.
Swore to them, you'd done with me, never comin' back.
[chorus]
Each new girl started, lookin' more and more like you.
height an' hair and eyes, even walked the same way.
But still the magic was missin', they never lasted long,
I'd swap today's tomorrows, for dreams of yesterday.
[verse 3]
Drove past your house, wilted flowers on the side,
neighbours said you'd taken ketamine and died.
My next three months went missing, just a blur.
Everywhere I looked, I imagined I saw her.
[chorus]
Each new girl started, lookin' more and more like you.
height an' hair and eyes, even walked the same way.
But still the magic was missin', they never lasted long,
I'd swap today's tomorrows, for dreams of yesterday.
[bridge]
I'm at your grave each week, thinkin' what might've been.
Two love-struck teens in high school, plannin' their life.
The fairytale of sweethearts, livin' the perfect dream,
The house and picket fence, me the husband, you the wife.
[chorus]
Each new girl started, lookin' more and more like you.
height an' hair and eyes, even walked the same way.
But still the magic was missin', they never lasted long,
I'd swap today's tomorrows, for dreams of yesterday.
[outro]
I'd swap today's tomorrows, for dreams of yesterday.
I'd swap today's tomorrows, for dreams of yesterday.

@sidshovel - be careful of what you wish for :).. another one with dark undertones :).. well crafted tho.. sounds like a mantra at the end :). Foot stompin music goes well with the lyrics.

That's a different style of music out of AI, and it fits nicely here.
The story works. Some things you never get over. I like how he's picking out similar girls trying to recreate the magic - but of course that doesn't work.
"I'd swap today's tomorrows, for dreams of yesterday." that's a lovely line, my favorite here.
