Just for today
             I'd like to forget everything
       to lay under the sky
with my hands in the grass
                                 feeling
and not feeling                          
I want to breathe deep          
to smell spring on the air                      
before spring is gone again    
Just for today
                      I'd like to play make-believe
                       that my life isn't a horror
and that all will be well
because right now I just can't make myself
                believe
that tomorrow has a happy ending
or any tomorrow I might have, for that matter        
it just doesn't seem possible          
that all of this terrible  
ends in a wonderful
So just for today
         I want to forget all of that
                  to make memories of the grass
                        of the wind and the sun and the air
I want to pretend    
               that it's alright
     that it will be alright
      no matter where I go
              or what I do
                             I want to believe that there is happiness
                                                       ­                     in my end
                                                             ­               just for today.
