May 10, 2023 at 19:55 comment added Meg @RonJohn I think in retrospect that is probably true. I looked at several difference sources for lyrics and none of them had transcribed the lyrics of that line in a way that makes any sense to me. Most of them say "Who makes tomorrow and wanna yesterday". I can't even speculate on what that means.

May 30, 2019 at 15:46 comment added Meg I think it is an adverb here, and used in the sense of "the general past". Although yesterday as an adverb it is usually used for either the literal day before today or more figuratively the recent past, this isn't always the case. Since this appears to be a Christian song, I will relate it to The Bible as an example-- Hebrew 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever".
May 30, 2019 at 15:15 comment added Omar and Lorraine But can "win out" be transitive? Or do you interpret "yesterday" as an adverb?
