Films of Yesterday Lyrics Meanings
by Marc Hockley

I said hey you've got a different smile today
Yesterday you were a million miles away

When I think of all that's been
And all we ever dreamed could be
I still wish it could have been
The way it seems to be
In films of yesterday

You said hey, could it be some other way?
Like a play, could we twist the words we say?

When I think of all that's been
And all we ever dreamed could be
I still wish it could have been
The way it seems to be
In films of yesterday

Everything we build & all the plans we make
Disappear somehow & from the this dream we wake

When I think of all that's been
And all we ever dreamed could be
I still wish it could have been
The way it seems in films, films of yesterday
When I think of all that's been
And all we ever dreamed could be
I still wish it could have been
The way it seems in films, films of yesterday

I said hey you've got a different smile today
