The Best Today

Stuck in a metal tube

I sit and stare at you

You seem to look through me

I wonder what you see

I still have two stations yet,

counting the one we just left

Wish I could stay with you

and ask you what you do

I figure you love to read

Don't look for the faults like me

You probably love the sun

I think you're the only one

I wish I could wake at dawn,

to see you without make-up on

Wish I had the guts to say,

You look the best today

You look the best today

You look the best today

I feel I know your smile,

like I saw it when I was a child,

Though today you just frown and read,

Your eyes flicker perfectly

Rush-hour crush surrounds

Reminds me that we're still in town

I think of the time when I

Sat and watched a stranger cry

I wish I could wake at dawn,

to see you without make-up on

Wish I had the guts to say,

You look the best today

You look the best today

You look the best today

You look the best today

You look the best today

As I get off the train,

look back to see you through the frame,

A man sits and blocks my view,

then I forget you
