My whole world is crashing gracefully tonight
Wondering how to break my fall
From such great heights
I had all the answers in my hand
Before the child became a man
It took some time to undestand
Just where the good times go
Now if i could talk to that boy again
I know just what i'd say
Hold on to your wild side
Don't let it get away
Ask me yesterday - years ago
When i was young enough to know
Yesterday - when everything made sense
Ask me yesterday - young and blind
Destiny was ours to find
So when you ask me i just smile and say
Ask me yesterday
I was self assured and confident inside
Taking all life's jagged surfaces in stride
My armour was the stone cold truth
My heart and soul was bullet proof
My reckless youth was my excuse
For every scheme i tried
Now if i could talk to that boy again
I know just what i'd say
Make sure your rebel attitude
Never fades away
Ask me yesterday - years ago
When i was young enough to know
Yesterday - when everything made sense
Ask me yesterday - young and blind
Destiny was ours to find
So when you ask me i just smile and say
Ask me yesterday
And if i could talk to that boy again
I'd look him right in the eyes
Keep your feet on solid ground
But let your spirit fly
Ask me yesterday - years ago
When i was young enough to know
Yesterday - when everything made sense
Ask me yesterday - young and blind
Destiny was ours to find
So when you ask me i just smile and say
