Lyrics Keaton Henson – 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
You probably love the sun
But think you’re the only one

And 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

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
