About Today Lyrics by The National

Cherry Tree

2004

[Verse 1]
Today
You were far away
And I
Didn't ask you "Why?"
What could I say?
I was far away
You just walked away
And I just watched you
What could I say?
[Chorus]
How close am I
To losing you?
[Verse 2]
Tonight
You just close your eyes
And I just watch you
Slip away
[Chorus]
How close am I
To losing you?
[Verse 3]
Hey
Are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here
Well, can I ask you
About today?
[Chorus]
How close am I
To losing you?
How close am I
To losing?
