Gavin DeGraw - Best I Ever Had Lyrics






Melt Antarctica, savin’ Africa
I failed algebra and I miss you sometimes
We’re at war again, save the world again
You can all join in, but you can’t smoke inside

You said, “Take me home, I can’t stand this place
‘Cause there’s too many hipsters and I just can’t relate.”
You’re my neon gypsy, my desert rain
You’re my “Helter Skelter”, oh how can I explain that

You’re the best I ever had
And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head
But I've read that soda kills you and Jesus saves
On a bathroom wall where I saw your name
You’re the best I ever had
I won’t be the same

Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones
I’m looking at the crowd and they’re staring at their phones
They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear (oh, God!)
And maybe once a year I think to clean my car

Caught my reflection, dropped the call
I’ve been medicating with cigarettes and alcohol
I got vertigo, no I can’t see straight
I got obligations though I’m usually late but

You’re the best I ever had
And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head
But I think I dropped my wallet in Santa Fe
Lost the only picture I had of you that day and
You’re the best I ever had
I won’t be the same

Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota
I think I love you, but don’t even know you
Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota
I think I love you, but don’t even know you
Hey Carolina, Hey Oklahoma
I think I love you, but don’t even know you
Hey Alabama, Hey California
I think I love you, but don’t even know you

You’re the best I ever had (you’re the best I ever had)
And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head (not to get stuck in my head)
But I passed a lonely sign on the interstate
Saying, “Find someone 'fore it gets too late!”
You’re the best I ever had (you’re the best I ever had)
I won’t be the same

Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota (Oh why, oh why)
I think I love you, but don’t even know you (I won’t be the same)
Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota (you’re the best I ever had)
I think I love you, but don’t even know you (I won’t be the same)

Yeah, I won’t be the same

    the chorus sounds like the song of despacito (dessspacito)
    it's a bit similar in tone it's weird
    but since this song came out in 2013, the authors of that copy copied that part.
    perhaps

    Melt Antarctica, savin' Africa
    I failed algebra and I misused some times
    We're at war again, save the world again
    You can all join in, but you can't smoke inside

    You said "Take me home, I can't stand this place
    'Cause there's too many hipsters and I just can't relate"
    You're my neon gypsy, my desert rain
    You're my "Helter Skelter", oh how can I explain that

    You're the best I ever had
    And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
    But I read that soda kills you and Jesus saves
    On the bathroom wall where I saw your name
    You're the best I ever had
    I won't be the same

    Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones
    I'm looking at the crowd and they're staring at their phones
    They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear (Oh God!)
    And maybe once a year, I think they'll clean my car

    Caught my reflection, drop the call
    I've been medicated with cigarettes and alcohol
    I got vertigo, no I can't see straight
    I got obligations though I'm usually late but

    You're the best I ever had
    And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
    But I think I dropped my wallet in Santa Fe
    Lost the only picture I had of you that day and
    You're the best I ever had
    I won't be the same

    Hey West Virginia, hey North Dakota
    I think I love you, but don't even know you
    Hey Massachusetts, hey Minnesota
    I think I love you, but don't even know you
    Hey Carolina, hey Oklahoma
    I think I love you, but don't even know you
    Hey Alabama, hey California
    I think I love you, but don't even know you

    You're the best I ever had (you're the best I ever had)
    And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
    But I passed the longest sign on the interstate
    Saying "Find someone before it gets too late"
    You're the best I ever had (you're the best I ever had)
    I won't be the same

    Hey West Virginia, hey North Dakota (Oh why, oh why)
    I think I love you, but don't even know you (I won't be the same)
    Hey Massachusetts, hey Minnesota (you're the best I ever had)
    I think I love you, but don't even know you (I won't be the same)

    Yeah, I won't be the same

  69. M.... S....

    Very optimistic song 😀

  70. N.... ....

  72. H.... D....

    This song doesn't really make sense but the best you ever had doesn't really make sense so I guess that makes sense

    Lyrics:
    Disarm you with a smile
    And cut you like you want me to
    Cut that little child
    Inside of me and such a part of you~

    Oooh-ooh the years burn...
    Oooh-ooh the years burn!

    I USED TO BE A LITTLE BOY
    So old, In my shoes...

    AND WHAT I CHOSE IS MY CHOICE
    What's a boy, Supposed to do...

    THE KILLER IN ME IS THE KILLER IN YOU
    My love...

    SEND THIS SMILE OVER TO YOU



    Disarm you with a smile
    And leave you like they left me here
    To wither in denial
    The bitterness of one whose left alooone~

    Oooh-ooh the years burn
    Oooh-ooh the years burn, Burn! Buuuuuuuuuurn!

    I USED TO BE A LITTLE BOY
    So old, In my shoes...

    AND WHAT I CHOSE IS MY CHOICE
    What's a boy, Supposed to do...

    THE KILLER IN ME IS THE KILLER IN YOU
    My love...

    SEND THIS SMILE OVER TO YOU

    THE KILLER IN ME IS THE KILLER IN YOU
    SEND THIS SMILE OVER TO YOU

    THE KILLER IN ME IS THE KILLER IN YOU
    SEND THIS SMILE OVER TO YOU

    THE KILLER IN ME IS THE KILLER IN YOU
    SEND THIS SMILE OVER TO YOU
