  • I did that yesterday, ah
    I heard that years ago when I was a kid
    I didn't want to do it years ago, but I did
    I did that yesterday when I was a kid

    Weeknd, I like your outfit
    YOLO, you only live once
    Dude kept the beat "As it was"
    John Legend, that's Josh Groban
    I guess I'm flattered, maybe
    All good, we are still, baby
    Y'all ready for the next fact?
    Chris Hedges next

    I did that yesterday, oh
    I did that years ago when I was a kid
    I didn't want to do it yesterday, but I did
    I did that yesterday when I was a kid

    You don't get it, it's a pity
    Maybe you'll catch up sooner
    Rather than later, baby
    It's lonely in the future
    You don't get it, it's a pity
    Maybe you'll catch up sooner
    Rather than later, sorry
    It's lonely in the-

    I heard that twenty fucking years ago, I did
    Fantano, word for word, when I was a kid
    Stick to the technical, 'cause that's great
    But you would not recognize art in any age

    On the first date we had
    I jumped in the water, yeah
    The costume is soaking wet
    I'd like to dry it
    Join me as I pray for the grace to be merciful
    Help me not lay waste 'cause it's not their fault
    I don't care, I don't care
    Anybody try, name a place, I'm there

    I wore that years ago, I did
    I liked that years ago when I was a kid
    And in a hundred thousand days from now, I'll say
    "I did that yesterday when I was a kid" Writer/s: Julian Casablancas
