About Today Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today
You were far away
And I
Didn't ask you "Why?"
What could I say?
I was far away

You just walked away
And I just watched you
What could I say?

[Chorus]
How close am I
To losing you?

[Verse 2]
Tonight
You just close your eyes
And I just watch you
Slip away

[Chorus]
How close am I
To losing you?

[Verse 3]
Hey
Are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here

Well, can I ask you
About today?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
