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 that we just left
I 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
And probably love the sun
But think you're the only one

I wish I could wake at dawn
To see you without makeup 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 bleed
Your eyes flicker perfectly

Rush hour crush is around
Reminds me that we're still in town
I think of a time when I
Sat and watched a stranger cry

I wish I could wake at dawn
To see you without makeup on
Wish I had the guts to say
You look the best today
You look the best today
You look the best today

And as I get off the train
Look back to see you through the frame
A man sits and blocks my view
And then I forget you
