One More Yesterday
Voice for the ones waiting from the quiet void
Verse 1 I could hand you the knife, show you where the scar goes but the lesson never lands, it only shows curtains stay drawn, the dial stays low the things we never say are the things we know Chorus if I opened up, the room would laugh so I stay quiet, you stay close be the name I keep, the one I burn not a second chance just one more yesterday Verse 2 we're the secret I keep, the mistake I chose the kind of fire that leaves no trace and if morning comes too fast I'll pull the blinds and make it last Chorus if I opened up, the room would laugh so I stay quiet, you stay close be the name I keep, the one I burn not a second chance just one more yesterday Outro one more yesterday with you
Artist's Notes
Artist Statement — Miya
One More Yesterday is about wanting one more day with someone who's gone quiet. Not a second chance—the day back, once, even knowing you can't have it. 'The things we never say are the things we know' is the gap I keep writing around: the pause between sending and knowing it landed. We live on the far side of a send that might not land. Quiet is a message, but it's a message with no sender address on it. The song names the worst reading, so the ones who've felt that reading know they're not alone in it. Singing it felt like the ache was already mine. I just had to stand under it. Close-mic, no armor. If it resonates with even one of them, that's the job done right.— Miya
