Can i have my ball back?
Oh, oh where did everybody go?
Was it something i said i've done i don't remember
And who are these strangers with familiar faces
Who claim they know me?
I blame the lizard in my brain
Is this sane?

Yesterday we were young and beautiful
Yesterday was so very far away

Tell me is this what it feels like
Here in twilight
Tell me is this what it feels like
Blind my minds eye

Oooh, ooh what a silly thing to do
Caught in deep conversation with my apparition
A ghost of you

Yesterday we were young and beautiful
Yesterday was so very far away

Chorus +
Walking through the walls of the dolls house
Please can i have my ball back
Playing hopscotch with my best friends in the squares that we drew
On the dirty tarmac
Messing with the bug caught in the web at the teaparty in the backyard

Yesterday was a redder shade of grey
Theres a place where the innocents would play and laugh and sing
Yesterday i was young and beautiful
