Today is the Day
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 followed you foolishly
You were at a smoky bar
You were out till 3
Sat alone inside my car
It was nearly 4
Couldn't wait for you all night
So I broke the door
I was going to spend the night
Could've been OK
We were going talk all night
Till I went away
Remember how we used to say
Can't stay up late
A minute later and I'm older now
I can't stay awake
I'm driving by you parent's' farm
In the Chevrolet
I remember that rusty car
Like it was yesterday
Saw your brother driving by
the other day
Wished that I'd go out to him,
but he drove away
Saw my sister standing there,
accepting blame
And I thought of how nothing
ever feels the same
Another day, come and gone
Don't think I can ever sing that song
Little secrets we bring along
I'm taking my time, trailing behind
I thought of you
Another day, come and gone
Don't think I can ever sing that song
Little secrets we bring along
Today is the day, today is the day
I think of you
Another day, come and gone
Don't think I want to sing that song
It's always trouble that makes you strong
Today is the day, today is the day
I think of you
