The Best I Ever Had

The Best I Ever Had - The Swellers

It was a young and angry summer

A song that changed my mind

I heard it on the radio

And if everyone else heard this

They wouldn't be so sad

It was the best I ever had

It was the best I ever had

I remember April '94

September '96

And every day of '99 (all of '99)

Whether I waited for those records

Or helped Seattle cry

It was the best I ever had

And I know we'll never die

Yeah we were right about it

We'd be lost without it

Yeah what could ever take that

I miss it too

And I miss the songs we knew

And if I could go back

I'd do it all again

It was the best I ever had

While the world was waking up and

Putting on their suits

I was planning my escape

And when I had that conversation

With my mom and dad

I said I'm never looking back

It was the best I ever had

And they were wrong about us

We showed them not to doubt us

Yeah what could ever take that

I miss it too

And I miss the songs we knew

And if I could go back

I'd do it all again

It was the best I ever had

I'd do it all again

I've been everywhere now

Searching far and wide

But she was down the street

She looked just like an angel

Flying down to me

But I was underground

Where the devil comes to feed

And everything felt so right

I could show it to do wrong

But she taught me everything

And I don't know where she is now

But I'll never forget

She was the best I ever had

Or ever will again

The best I ever had

And if everyone else heard this

They wouldn't be so sad

It was the best I ever had
