Send "Today" Ringtone to Cell

Shoelaces untied
You can dry your eye
Perfect shadows align behind us
And this is the day I make you mine

The way your hair lies
Sometimes unrecognized
All the way from these today, on a train
Nothing to say, but there's still time

You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun,
That's been baiting morn' today

Lately I've lost my tongue
Today you found my song
Unknown our love has grown
And I thank God you came along

You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun,
That's been baiting morn' today

You looked right through me,
There was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself today
Today

You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun,
It's been baiting morn' today

    Song Meaning:Where it says "And here comes the sun that's been baiting on today". I hear "And here comes the sun that's been beating more today". The sun is shining even brighter on this beautiful day. Plan on using this for my wedding for sure.

    General Comment:I love this song, It never fails to remind me of what love is about
    its about - The way your hair lies,
    Sometimes unrecognized
    its about - I sat beside you and became myself today
    its about being so comftable with some one that you can just sit beside them and have everything you need and everything you want.

    General Comment:This song is just so lovely.. I definitely see it as a wedding song.. or even an engagement song - my friends and I talk about how we want to be proposed to, and I always thought via song(preferrably serenade haha ^_^) would be beautiful, so when I listened to the lyrics of this song I was on the verge of tears.

    I feel like "baiting morn" can go with that idea.. it may be silly, but he's putting himself out there, putting out the "bate", so she takes it and she'll be his("And this is the day I make you mine"). That's just my own little interpretation that makes sense with the rest of the song for me.

    General Comment:I am considering using the song as my wedding song as well... I just don't understand this part: "here comes the sun, it's been baiting morn today."

    What does that mean? Any ideas? I specifically don't understand "baiting morn today"

    Thanks in advance!!!

    General Comment:This is such a great song. It reminds me of the feeling I got the first time I met one of my good friends. I just got this feeling when I first met her that she was someone I had a strong desire to love, which is strange because I hardly knew her.

    Like a sweeping feeling of romanticism, and that the woman/girl is perfect for you, because you never learn about her flaws, and when you conceptualize the relationship in your mind it seems perfect.

    I am not sure if anyone else knows this emotion/feeling I am talking about.

    General Comment:Just to confirm what MissJenna said, I was lucky enough to see Joshua live last month and he confirmed that he wrote the song when he was 16 on a train from Nice, hence the lyric about being the place. He intended to give her the lyrics but didn't, so put music to them when he was older.

    Have a look at the live version here, which features that story:
