Today Is The Day Lyrics
I followed you foolishly
You were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
Sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
We were gonna wait for you all night
So I locked the door
I was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
We were gonna talk all night, till I went away
Remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
A minute later we're older now, I can't stay awake
I'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
I remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday
Saw my brother driving by, the other day
I wished that I'd go out to him, but he drove away
Saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
Then I thought about nothing, that it 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
Today is the day I think of you
You were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
Sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
We were gonna wait for you all night
So I locked the door
We were gonna talk all night, till I went away
Remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
A minute later we're older now, I can't stay awake
I'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
I remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday
I wished that I'd go out to him, but he drove away
Saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
Then I thought about nothing, that it feels the same
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
Today is the day I think of you

me neither, there is just something so instrinsically sad about this song, it hits a nerve with me every single time

It's sad. I think it's about lost moments. And no one can reclaim the past. It's a loss.

the fast version is on major league baseball 2k6 for ps2
the lyrics seem to be incorrect. In fact. They are
This song puts me somewhere between the lightest joy and the heaviest sorrow.
I couldn't agree more..

One morning I woke up and I heard a voice whisper into my mind, "you're going to meet him today" so I put on this song. Sure enough I met someone later that day and we exchanged numbers. We dated for two months (my first time dating) but it didn't work but we ended up being really good friends (he's one of my best friends now actually). However, when I look at the lyrics I think it's about a breakup and one of the people in the relationship always remembers that person on a specific day...maybe their anniversary or maybe their break up date...or another important day of theirs...
There are two versions of this song. One slow one on Summer Sun and a fast one on the single (Today is the Day)
i like the slower one much better. its such a pretty song
so purdy
good.
God...... This song reminds me of my Friend that passed away in 2004 its so haunting.
