Today Lyrics

Hello
Today
I'm as lonely as you were in May
Today

Some say
Today
Is all there ever will be so I'll stay
Today

Message to the one
Step into the sun
Remember all the days
That disappeared like rain

Open up your eyes
Everything's alright
I tried to make you see
The wood for the trees

You pray
Today
That tomorrow will be your day
You say

I may
Today
Tell you how I am feeling, in your way
Today

I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be the only one (x3)

I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be the lonely one

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As for the meaning, I remember hearing an interview with Jesse Clegg on 5FM, and he said this song is about when you're having a rough day and what not. The first two verses show how the person feels really lonely and a bit hopeless- like these sad feelings are all he has, so he'll just let them be.

Then the chorus is a means of encouraging that person to "step into the sun"- to not stay in this gloomy state, but to see that everything's alright because all the other bad days he's had have disappeared like rain, ie they didn't last forever.

Then the next two verses show how the person hopes that tomorrow will much better than today. And finally, the bridge shows, I think, how the person doesn't want to be the only one to feel this way.

GREAT SONG! Jesse Clegg is amazing :)
