The song talks about the next day after he wanted to die and that now he feels inexplicably happy so inexplicably he cant even explain to his girlfriend.
[Chorus]
I think today is the best day of my life
Gonna rent a bicycle and ride
Around the city, around the city from nine 'til five
I think today is the best day of my life
Fuck thinking about the future all the time
If I'm alone, I'm alone and I don't mind
[Verse]
Movie stars in black and white pictures (Mm-mm)
Warm beer and valium mixtures (Mm-mm)
Am I in a dream? Crazy as it seems
[Chorus]
I think today is the best day of my life
Saw a billboard, it said something like
Everything, everything is gonna be alright
I think today is the best day of my life
My girlfriend looked worried and asked me why
But I don't know, I don't know, so I didn't reply
[Post-Chorus]
Laying on a car, you've got stars
I've got scars they don't see
[Chorus]
I think today is the best day of my life
Last night all I wanted to do was die
Right now, I'm happy to be alive
