"Not Today"
I don't know why
I just feel I'm better off
Staying in the same room I was born in
I look outside
And see a whole world better off
Without me in it tryin' to transform it
You are out of my mind, oh
You aren't seein' my side, oh
You waste all this time tryin' to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Yeah
Listen, I know
This one's a contradiction
Because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait
Better yet, it is
Who I feel I am right now
You are out of my mind, oh
You aren't seein' my side, oh
You waste all this time tryin' to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Heard you say, "Not today"
Tore the curtains down
Windows open now, make a sound
Heard your voice, "There's no choice"
Tore the curtains down
Windows open now, make a noise
Oh, don't you test me though
Just because I play the piano
Doesn't mean I am not willing to take you down
I'm sorry
I'm, I'm out of my mind, oh
I'm not seein' things right, oh
I waste all this time tryin' to run from you
But I'm, I'm out of my mind
Heard you say, "Not today"
Tore the curtains down
Windows open now, make a sound
Heard your voice, "There's no choice"
Tore the curtains down
Windows open now, make a noise
(Ooh, ooh) yeah, oh
(Ooh, ooh) yeah, oh
(Ooh, ooh)
You are out of my mind
You aren't seein' my side
You waste all this time tryin' to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Heard you say, "Not today"
Tore the curtains down
Windows open now, make a sound
Heard your voice, "There's no choice"
Tore the curtains down
Windows open now, make a noise
(Bah bah bah, bah bah bah) yeah
(Bah bah bah, bah bah)
(Bah bah bah, bah bah) yeah
Oh (bah bah bah) yeah, yeah (bah bah bah)
No, no (bah bah bah, bah bah)
No, yeah (bah bah bah, bah bah)
(Bah bah bah)
(Bah bah bah) not today, not today
(Bah bah bah, bah bah) not today
(Bah bah bah, bah bah) not today
Oh no, not today (bah bah bah, bah bah bah)
Not today, oh no, no (bah bah bah, bah bah)
No, no, no (bah bah bah, bah bah)
Ooh, ooh
