Today, I feel like pleasing you
More than before
Today, I know what I want to do
But I don't know what for
To be living for you
Is all I want to do
To be loving you
It'll all be there
When my dreams come true
Today, you'll make me say
That I somehow have changed
Today, you'll look into my eyes
I'm just not the same
To be any more than all I am
Would be a lie
I'm so full of love
I could burst apart
And start to cry
Today, everything you want
I swear it will all come true
Today, I realize how much
I'm in love with you
With you standing here
I could tell the world
What it means to love
To go on from here
I can't use words
They don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
It's all for you, all for you
More than before
Today, I know what I want to do
But I don't know what for
To be living for you
Is all I want to do
To be loving you
It'll all be there
When my dreams come true
Today, you'll make me say
That I somehow have changed
Today, you'll look into my eyes
I'm just not the same
To be any more than all I am
Would be a lie
I'm so full of love
I could burst apart
And start to cry
Today, everything you want
I swear it will all come true
Today, I realize how much
I'm in love with you
With you standing here
I could tell the world
What it means to love
To go on from here
I can't use words
They don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
It's all for you, all for you

And the following song "Coming Back to Me" was a perfect companion song. In fact if you listen to all the songs on that side of the album in sequence, it describes the beginnings, blossoming, full flower and bittersweet ending of a love relationship. The wistful longing and dreamlike quality of "Coming Back to Me" was soothing in a way. The Aiplane was my favorite group at that point and I'll always love them.
Now this is what it means to me.
This guy who has written it is in love with someone he can’t really somehow go out with. And he wishes that today would be the day that he can shout it out let her know how much he cares for and what he can do for her to start with.
The nice part is the irony in it. He says it as if it’s today that he has realized how much he gives a fuck….
But actually he is wishing that today be the day that she sees how he feels about her in his eyes. He wishes there is a mutual understanding between them without the need of words. And ones that she understands it he shows her the other dimensions of him self and do all he can for her.
but i think this song is about that one day when he finally decides to tell her because he's grown tried of waiting around for the right moment.
it's a song about desperation after months/years of self-denial and/or trying to force your feelings for someone to the back of your mind because you think that being THAT open with someone for the first time in your life could be just to painful to bear if you're rejected. but you've run out of time to wait for the right moment cause she's leaving or something so this is your last chance, do or die.
as you can probably tell this comes from presonal experience. it is hard.
nice tune too
that's such of a beautiful lyric. this song is so full of love and desperation
