Cover art for Today lyrics by Jefferson Airplane

i wouldn't say this song is romantic. well... yes i suppose it is but it is more about a desperate man who can't stop thinking about this girl but he doesn't know how to get the message across. he doesn't want to say it to her because he thinks he'll screw it up and alienate himself and then he'll never have a chance.

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
