Ezio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the sunlight stream in
And let it light up your eyes
And lay its warmth upon your skin
Come over here
Just lay for a while
let's do nothing
And let's do it with style
So run where you should be now tomorrow
I could bring you some tea
And something to eat
Then we'll step over the bills
And into the street
And walk down the road
Or drive to the Sea
We'll do what you want
Please do it with me
So run where you should be now tomorrow
So run where you should be now tomorrow
I could call up your work
And say you're not well enough to go
As long as we're both discreet
No I really don't think that they're both discreet
No I really don't think that they will ever know
There's no work for me
And the world stops turning when you're not here
And it's good that your're free
You say I'm your man
Well now he needs you near
So run where you should be now tomorrow
So run where you should be now tomorrow
Can't face you getting up and leaving today
Is there anyway I'll convince you to stay
Today...
Let's cancel today
In Ezio's song "Cancel Today," the lyrics speak of a desire to cancel all plans for the day, to escape the constant hustle and bustle of life and enjoy a peaceful moment with a loved one. The song opens with the idea of pulling back the curtains and letting sunlight stream in, a metaphor for allowing positivity and warmth into life. The lyrics then suggest that rather than rushing into the day's responsibilities, it would be better to do nothing at all, but to do it with "style."
The verses continue with the idea of indulging in a lazy day, where mundane responsibilities such as bills and work are ignored, and instead the focus is placed on spending quality time with a significant other. The singer suggests calling in sick to work, as long as they are discreet and will not be caught. The chorus repeats the phrase "run where you should be now tomorrow," encouraging the listener to put aside their worries and concerns for the present moment and to embrace the freedom to do what they want to do.
The final verse reveals that the singer is struggling to confront the reality of the loved one leaving at the end of the day. The song ends with the repeated refrain, "Let's cancel today," a plea to the universe to allow for a few more precious moments of unhurried bliss.
Overall, the lyrics to "Cancel Today" convey a profound sense of yearning for a simpler, more authentic life, free from the demands of work and responsibility. The song encourages listeners to embrace an impromptu day off, to step away from the stresses of modern life and to focus on what truly matters - love, companionship, and the beauty of the present moment.

Pull back the curtains
Open the curtains and let the light in
Let the sunlight stream in
Allow the sun to shine through
And let it light up your eyes
Let the sun illuminate your eyes
And lay its warmth upon your skin
Feel the sun's warmth on your skin
Come over here
Come here with me
Just lay for a while
Let's relax for some time
let's do nothing
Let's not do anything
And let's do it with style
Let's do it in a stylish way
So run where you should be now tomorrow
Go where you belong tomorrow
I could bring you some tea
I'll make you some tea
And something to eat
And some food
Then we'll step over the bills
Ignore our financial bills
And into the street
And go outside
And walk down the road
Take a walk
Or drive to the Sea
Or drive to the sea
We'll do what you want
We'll do what you desire
Please do it with me
Do it together with me
I could call up your work
I'll call your workplace
And say you're not well enough to go
And inform them that you're not feeling well
As long as we're both discreet
If we keep it private
No I really don't think that they're both discreet
Actually, I doubt we can keep it secret
No I really don't think that they will ever know
I don't think they will find out
There's no work for me
I don't have any work to do
And the world stops turning when you're not here
My world revolves around you
And it's good that you're free
And it's great that you're independent
You say I'm your man
You referred to me as your partner
Well now he needs you near
But now you're required somewhere else
Can't face you getting up and leaving today
I don't want you to leave today
Is there anyway I'll convince you to stay
Can I persuade you to stay
Today...
Just for today
Let's cancel today
Let's forget about today

@sypdavis wow - did not know that - it has made me think more positively of Tony rather than negatively of the song :-)
Dracula Nova
I came here because I'm a fan of Ezio... no of course it was Tony Blair.
Richard Cooke
I don't know why this group are one of the world's best kept secrets but they are and the fact that Tony Blair and I share the same secret is a bit disconcerting
shrubs1y2
not so much disconcerting as terrible. however, if you dont tell anyone, no one will think anything the worse about you when you love this band
