[English]

There's something 'bout yesterday

How fast it all flies away

I don't know what it is about a goodbye kiss

That makes you wanna stay

We were crazy then we were over

We were breaking up, making love, a runaway roller coaster

Every time I hear that song

I'm standing in the pouring rain

On your front lawn and oh-oh-oh

I still think about you oh-oh-oh

Every time I hear that song

It's like the first time it came on and oh-oh-oh

I still think about you oh-oh-oh

I still think about you

There's something in the bittersweet

The feeling of a memory

Right there in the moment

All I ever wanted was you and me

We were crying, we were wasted

We were dying when they played it

Every time I hear that song

I'm standing in the pouring rain

On your front lawn and oh-oh-oh

I still think about you oh-oh-oh

Every time I hear that song

It's like the first time it came on and oh-oh-oh

I still think about you oh-oh-oh

I still think about you

Oh I still think about you

There's a soundtrack in my mind

That takes me back in time

When I hear that melody

I think about you and me

Every time I hear that song

I'm standing in the pouring rain

On your front lawn and oh-oh-oh

I still think about you oh-oh-oh

Every time I hear that song

It's like the first time it came on and oh-oh-oh

I still think about you oh-oh-oh

I still think about you

Oh, I still think about you

I still think about you

Yeah, I still think about you

There's a soundtrack in my mind

That takes me back in time

When I hear that melody

I think about you and me
