today is the day

Singer: yo la tengo

i followed you.foolishly

you were at a smoky bar

you were out til three

sat alone inside my car

it was nearly four

couldn't wait for you all night

so i locked the door

i was gonna spend the night

coulda been okay

we were gonna talk all night

till i went away

remember how you used to say

can't stay up late

a minute later we're older now

i can't stay awake

i'm driving by your parent's farm

in the chevrolet

i remember that rusty car

like it was yesterday

saw my brother driving by

the other day

i wished that i'd go out to him

but he drove away

saw my sister standing there

standing in rain

then i thought about nothing

that it feels the same

another day

come and gone

don't think i can ever sing that song

little secrets we bring along

i'm taking my time

trailing behind

i thought of you

today is the day i think of you
