The Best In Me Lyrics
If only you could hear the beat, beat, beat of my beating heart
then maybe we, we, we would never be apart
its a beautiful sky on a beautiful day
but only you could stretch a smile across my face
so im waiting, waiting, waiting
for you to be calling, calling, calling
cause its another drive another day on the road
and honey i dont have the strength for another show, no
and ive got it almost figured out
if i could get you closer to me
cause its a good life, for a short time
whoa oh woah oh
and youve got me almost figured out
theres almost nothing left to see
youre brining out the best in me
youre bringing out the best in me
and its a long way back to the golden state
where the city's held in by a golden gate
like a giant jar full of fire flies
the yellow lights blinking on the mountain side
and i wish i had a plane or a cable car
cause all i really want is to be in your arms
and i've got it almost figured out
if i could get you closer to me
cause its a good life, for a short time
whoa oh whoa oh
and you've got me almost figured out
theres almost nothing left to see
you're brining out the best in me
you're bringing out the best in me
then maybe we, we, we would never be apart
its a beautiful sky on a beautiful day
but only you could stretch a smile across my face
so im waiting, waiting, waiting
for you to be calling, calling, calling
cause its another drive another day on the road
and honey i dont have the strength for another show, no
and ive got it almost figured out
if i could get you closer to me
cause its a good life, for a short time
whoa oh woah oh
and youve got me almost figured out
theres almost nothing left to see
youre brining out the best in me
youre bringing out the best in me
and its a long way back to the golden state
where the city's held in by a golden gate
like a giant jar full of fire flies
the yellow lights blinking on the mountain side
and i wish i had a plane or a cable car
cause all i really want is to be in your arms
and i've got it almost figured out
if i could get you closer to me
cause its a good life, for a short time
whoa oh whoa oh
and you've got me almost figured out
theres almost nothing left to see
you're brining out the best in me
you're bringing out the best in me

their relationship would be perfect if only he wasn't so far apart from her.
but he does still loves her, even though they're not always together.
I agree with ellie117.
"and i wish i had a plane or a cable car cause all i really want is to be in your arms"
adorable.
they remind me of a mix of hellogoodbye and mae a little bit. from this song at least, it's the only one i've listened to so far.
i agree with rangel i does sound like hellogoodbye and mae. i love this song. so beautiful!
Yep, the song's about a guy who's on tour who misses his girl. Probably written while the band was touring.. I seem to get that impression.
This song has grown on, at first I didn't like it as much b/c it reminded me of Hellogoodbye, who I'm not a huge fan. But then I saw them play this live and love it. These guys play an amazing live set. They have such a good energy when they are on stage.
sucks to have someone live so far from you and you love them. never happened to me though. and I don't think I could do that. ;|
It pretty much explains itself. Girl's in California, boy has no choice but to go on tour with his band - and she understands that, but he misses her a lot sometimes and just wishes he could fly back to her; because she gives him the strength she needs.
OR girl's in California, boy lives somewhere else, and then the rest is basically the same.
i can see the hellogoodbye similarities but i don't like them
this song isn't really an accurate representation of the band or their overall sound throughout their albums.
my two cents, good tune too
i love this song!!!
i first heard it in 8th grade and had me hooked to them ever since
THERE SHOULD BE MORE COMMENTS!
