Hi Rodney - there is a good tension in this piece, but you never resolve it. I wonder if it wouldn’t make sense to resolve this tension in a chorus which really sticks out. I think you could use your current chorus - or part of it -  as a pre-chorus, but after that I’m expecting a kind of break-out.  Take care!

Thanks for the feedback.  I’ll have to noodle on that some, great feedback.  I wrote it on an acoustic and I think it comes off better that way.

Just like that ,she's here again
A picture from long ago
without the scars to show
for the time that's passed

These eyes I've never seen with before
In my mind I see
this little girl looking at me
I'm unaware of the time that's passed

So long, yesterday
So long, yesterday
Just my school boy reaction to this real world situation
So long, yesterday

Who's this girl standing near the door?
With the lips I've kissed
and the soul I miss
but no idea I've got her on my mind

Despite the things that time may have done
Some moments never pass
and though they go so fast
it's not enough to take you from my mind

So long, yesterday
So long, yesterday
Just my school boy reaction to this real world situation
So long, yesterday

And you're haunting me today
Out of sight, not mind
I don't know what to say
And the words....
they seem to orbit in my mind...
I'll speak them with my eyes
and hope you read between the lines

So long, yesterday
So long, yesterday
Just my school boy reaction to this fucked up situation
So long, yesterday

So long, yesterday
So long, yesterday
Just my school boy reaction to this real world situation
So long, yesterday
