Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Running down to central reservation
In last night's red dress
And I can still smell you on my fingers
And taste you on my breath
[Verse 2]
Stepping through brilliant shades
Of the color you bring
This time, this time, this time
Is fine just as it is
[Verse 3]
Today is whatever I want it to mean
Today is whatever I want it to mean
[Verse 4]
If this is where memories are made, well
Dreams do come true
Everything I ever took for granted
I want to see it through
I step through every shade
And the color you bring
'Cause this time, this time, this time
Is fine just as it is
[Verse 5]
Today is whatever I want it to mean
Today is whatever I want it to mean
[Verse 6]
Whatever I want it to mean
Whatever I want it to mean
[Verse 7]
It's like
It's like
It's like
Living in the middle of the ocean
With no future, no past
And everything that's good right now
Well, I don't wish for it to last
[Verse 8]
I'll step through brilliant shades
Every color you bring
'Cause this time, this time, this time
Is fine just as it is
[Verse 9]
And today is whatever I want it to mean
Today is whatever I want it to mean
Today, today is whatever I want it to mean
Today is whatever I want it to mean
