The Best of Me Lyrics
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too-
Much to have had to let go.
Turn our music down
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now."
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you.
We're sitting on the ground
(We're sitting on the ground)
And we whisper
(And we whisper)
"Say what you're thinking out loud."
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
Turn our music down
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper.
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss, girl
We will kiss, girl.
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
Feeling that we can't
We're not ready to give up.
We got older, but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too-
Much to have had to let go.
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now."
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.

We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper.

We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss, girl
We will kiss, girl.
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me.
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
Feeling that we can't
We're not ready to give up.
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.

These two people break up, and as being by themselves they realize that being apart isn't the answer.. and they get back together... and so he's saying "You can have the best of me" because now he realizes how important she is.. this one quote is very true.. and very logical yet poetic:
we got older but we're still young we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
even if when you try.. when you love someone, you always will have a part of you loving them.. and that feeling just won't give up.. :)
Well...I can't say anything that no one else has already stated.....I just love the damn song!
Basically our anthem.
its: "And missing each other too much to have had to let go"

this is the song on the drivethrurecords.com TSL flash promo. Somebody please e-mail me and tell me where to find it, or IM me if you have it and you're willing to send it to me via AIM transfer. weeziegeekerton@aol.com for e-mail, or weeziegeekerton for AIM.
Buy the song off of the sampler on drivethrurecords.com It's good, so buy it!
I already did buy it, but it hasn't come yet. I've spent about 4 days listening to that flash clip.
yea! i thought i was the only one! i've watched that clip so many times...then i had to email the guy to find out what song it is and i cant wait to get this damn sampler...
This song is so good. I cannot wait for their full length to come out. TSL has been my favorite DTR band since they first got signed. They are getting really popular, and for making music like this, they deserve it all and more. This is a beautiful song about wanting to get back together. TSL rules!
ah I cant wait til the full length comes out on the 16th. This song is so good. I have loved TSL ever since they started and they just keep getting better. grrrrr I want to put them in a box and keep them to myself.
