Best I Ever Had Lyrics by Gavin DeGraw

Make a Move

2013

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Hook]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 I'll clean my car
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Caught my reflection, I 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota
I think I love you, but don't even know ya
Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota
I think I love you, but don't even know ya
Hey Carolina, Hey Oklahoma
I think I love you, but don't even know ya
Hey Alabama, Hey California
I think I love you, but don't even know ya
[Chorus]
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 (Get stuck in my head)
But I passed a lonely 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
[Bridge 2]
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)
[Outro]
Yeah, I won't be the same
