Not Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't know why
I just feel I'm better off, staying
In the same room I was born in
I look outside and see a whole world
Better off, without me in it trying to transform it
You are out of my mind, oh
You aren't seeing my side, oh
You waste all this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Listen, I know
This one's a contradiction
Because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
Who I feel I am right now
You are out of my mind, oh
You aren't seeing my side, oh
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Heard you say: Not today
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice, there's no choice
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise
Don't you test me, no
Just because I play the piano
Doesn't mean not
I'm not willing to take you down (I'm sorry)
I'm, I'm out of my mind, oh
I'm not seeing things right, oh
I waste all this time trying to run from you
But I'm, I'm out of my mind
Heard you say: Not today
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice, there's no choice
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise
You are out of my mind
You aren't seeing my side
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Heard you say: Not today
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice, there's no choice
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise
Buh buh bah, buh buh bah
Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah
Buh buh bah, buh buh bah
Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah
Buh buh bah, not today
Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah
Buh buh bah, buh buh bah
Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah
