Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though I can't find my way
Your heart's been keeping you away
Don't be afraid 'coz I know that
Oh, soon there'll come a day
When you would turn around and say
My heart is such a lonely place
I feel so good today
But what about tomorrow? Come on
I feel so good today
Even though I can't find my way
Your heart's been keeping you away
Don't be afraid, 'coz I know that
Oh, soon there'll come a day
When you would turn around and say
My heart is such a lonely place
Gotta tell you now how I'm feeling
I feel so good today
But what about tomorrow?
Tomorrow's come for me
But it's Infinity, I seem
My heart's been watching over me
Gotta listen up 'coz I know now
That this is not a game
Oh, how I've tried to explain
My feeling can't remain the same
Gotta sort it out 'coz I am older
Tomorrow comes again
Like a dry pants on artic string
My feeling's still remain the same
Gotta twist one up from one another

In summary, "So Good Today" is a song about the power of communication and the desire to connect with those we care about. The lyrics suggest that even though we may be lost and uncertain, we can still feel good and hopeful about the future if we are willing to share our feelings with others.
