Muster up a little confidence,
Nobody ever started their life like this.
Try to gain a little focus,
No one's getting anywhere without any notice of practicing love.
Just step up and be sweet,
Don't matter if people think you're weak
Cause I love today, I love today, I love today!
The sun is shining down on me,
This can't be ruined by nobody.
I just gotta keep breathing,
But I keep thinking
And somehow I forget and waste my attention on you
Are you not getting tired of this?
Parading around with the emphasis that you hate my guts,
Was that your way to cuss me out?
I'm getting really fucking bored with this,
I'll wear what I want, flash the smile that I've got
And embrace my whole self, you ain't leaving me on the shelf
I'll just step up and be sweet,
Don't matter if people think I'm weak
Cause I love today, I love today, I love today!
The sun is shining down on me,
This can't be ruined by nobody.
I just gotta keep breathing,
But I keep thinking...
I keep my space
It seems like only to fulfill your games,
I know you know that it drives me insane
Why do you insist on playing?
I'll stay away,
But I'm really hoping you'll see straight
I'm just trying to bring the sunlight out in hopes that people will forget their doubt
And know that every time they feel left out that someone's always thinking of them,
Someone's always thinking of them
Step up and be sweet,
It really don't matter if people think you're weak
Cause I love today, you love today, we all love today!
The sun is shining down on me,
And this cant be ruined by nobody.
I just gotta keep breathing,
I just gotta keep thinking,
Always thinking
Know that we're always thinking
Someone is always thinking of you,
Someone is always thinking about how much they love
Someone is always thinking,
So I am gonna keep on walking tall, walking tall
Feeling so on top of it all!
Cause we're all together up on top of the world
We're all in eachother's rear-view mirror, smiling back ever so lovingly, lovingly
Even if it was that person that you ran into on the street the other day,
He spilled some coffee on you wasn't that, wasn't that just so cute?
Even if it was that little lady crossing the street, nobody saw her coming
She was just, she was just living
I love today,
You love today,
We all love today.
