Lyrics of 'Chrysanthemum' by James Iha

Yesterday you still seemed all right
You'd still hold me tight and whisper me my name
Now the time has come to let this go

There i go walking straight but backwards
There i go talking upside down
There i go
There i go singing slow but faster
There i go dragging love around
There i go

Staying up to find the way you'll always let me bloom
I am a part of everything you've loved and hated so
You know i'd pay a lot to cry, to try to understand
A flower's still a flower crushed to dust inside my hand

We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere

Yesterday you still seemed so bold
You'd still draw the road i'd always walk upon

Now i've paid for mistakes i've made
For the way i've strayed and never taken pause
Now the time has come to let this show

There i go walking straight but backwards
There i go talking upside down
There i go
There i go singing slow but faster
There i go dragging love around
There i go

There i go singing slow but faster sometimes [?]
[?] up inside my youth, to wear a troubled crown
You know i'd pay a lot to cry, to try to understand
A flower's still a flower crushed to dust inside my hand

We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere
We were going somewhere

Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday we were going somewhere
We were going somewhere
