I love this song. Took me a while to have an understanding of it. Like enough5 said, (but to add onto it), i think this song is almost desciribing how a girl falls in love (as well as this specific girl's character). She doesn't care too much about the past - it's old news - nor the future - it's uncertain like enough5 said. But if you talk to this girl (or any girl i guess) about "today" and feel everything you can from the current moment, she will "kiss your face and maybe forget" or "look your way and lead you home" - an obvious idea of security and happiness (home). As for the "maybe forget" part i think that has to do with the girl having a free-spiritted attitude while expressing her love. She'll show her love to you by kissing your face, but she does it so freely and effortlessly that she will maybe forget about it later when it becomes something of the past (or "of yesterday" because when things become the past, she doesn't care about them anymore).
It also sort of reminds me of a quote by C.S. Lewis: “Loving...[is] done worst when we try hardest to do [it].” Maybe that's a stretch i dunno.
Anyways, i love this song. It helps me remind myself to always "say today", for in reality there are only todays
