Walking Today
Grey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking today and wondering what to say,
oh I know she'll be there at two.
So afraid and wondering what to do,
oh she knows I'll ask for sure.

Try to be as calm as I can.
Mature and smart and cool but I see myself,
playing the fool, playing the fool again.

Lost everyday and lost in every way,
oh I want to be near her again.
So afraid and what do I say,
oh she makes me feel just like a kid.

Walking today and walking away,
oh I knew this love couldn't be true.




Just another day and I'm feeling free
but I'd like to feel that with you

It takes a special kind of person to recognize the beauty of a rainy day. I always love them---particularly the steady, soaking kinds like this one---and find them to be the days when I'm at my happiest and most relaxed.
