Today's a day
That I can't seem to get anything done
I can't seem to get anything done
I should've just stayed asleep
I could be counting stars
On an airplane to Paris in one of my dreams
With your cool, kind eyes looking at me
Feeling so sure from your window seat
I'm tired of waking up and feeling so lonely
I guess I should've listened when you sat down and told me
You can't do it all on your own
And baby, I'm just trying to wake myself up
But sometimes enough just ain't enough
So give me one more day
Give me one more night
Today, today
Let's forget about everyone else
And everything else
Today's our day
Let's forget about everyone else
And everything else
For just one day
And we can raise a glass
And toast to the love for bringing us back
We will laugh out loud until the sun turns black
I will never leave you high and dry no more
I'm tired of waking up and feeling so lonely
I guess I should've listened when you sat down and told me
You can't do it all on your own
And baby, I'm just trying to wake myself up
But sometimes enough just ain't enough
So give me one more day
So give me one more day
Give me one more night
Today's our day
Lets forget about everyone else
And everything else
Today's our day
Let's forget about everyone else
And everything else
All of my life
I've been praying for
Begging for a love pure like you
The work, the stress, it wore us out
The change of pace, it brought me down
But darling, I still need you
I will always love you
I will always love you
Today's a day
That I can't seem to get anything done
I can't seem to get anything done
I should've just stayed asleep
