lyrics

Today is a beautiful day. O today, I ask why? You say, "Because today is unlike another day." and I say, "You're naive." But you say, "I try to be." And I'm not one for making sense. I am rarely rolling right, words aired by the silence, words, useful for description, not kept in my vocabulary. And so I talk about the rain and the birds and the beauty and I smile and I laugh to let in the feeling. The warm, wet dirt, the moon, your ceiling. The lake, that fence that we hopped to go swimming. My mind is spinning, so grateful to be happy but it could be all over now, I know that very well. The fence may be too high next time and I may lose my grip. I might fall or not even try at all, and not swim in the beauty, in the lake, in the birds singing, I might not even take the time to hear them, I hope I do, though.
