They decided to compete in the Estonian national final with the music, featuring also Stig singing, which according him is a rare occasion.
Lyrics[]
I woke up at 6am
My eyes were closed but my mind was awake
Pretended I was breathing in a deep sleep pace
Got dressed so quietly
I was frozen by the jingle of my keys at the door
As I got outside I smiled to the dog
I didn’t wanna wake you up
My love was never gonna be enough
So I took my things and got out of your way now, girl
Why didn’t you wake me up
I’m pretty sure I would have told you to stop
Let’s try again and say goodbye
Goodbye to yesterday
Why would you think like that?
Yeah we fight a lot but in the end
You and I, we’re a perfect match
I wouldn’t want it any other way
But now you’re gone and I’m all alone
Lying here naked and staring at the phone
I didn’t wanna wake you up
My love was never gonna be enough
So I took my things and got out of your way now, girl
Why didn’t you wake me up
I’m pretty sure I would have told you to stop
Let’s try again and say goodbye
Goodbye to yesterday
I didn’t wanna wake you up
My love was never gonna be enough
So I took my things and got out of your way now, girl
Why didn’t you wake me up
I’m pretty sure I would have told you to stop
Let’s try again and say goodbye
Goodbye to yesterday
Goodbye to yesterday
Goodbye to yesterday
