The Other Side of Yesterday

You saw your time was coming,
So you started to get ready,
But you didn't get ready fast enough.

You should have gotten ready,
You knew your end was coming,
But you always thought that you were good enough.

Now you're standing on the outside,
Wishing you were inside,
Wondering why you had to be so tough.

Now you wish that you had listened,
When they tried and tried to tell you,
But all you did was shake your head and laugh.

So, the time that you had always taken for granted,
Is now the time that you let slip away,
And the only time that you have left to spend,
Is the time on the other side of yesterday.
