The Best We've Ever Known
When you say "Goodbye, I love you,"
I just wanna take you away
and show you a better place
than the dashboard and the faces
people make.
Because they're all crazy...but baby, you know I couldn't love you more.
When you walk away,
the scenery fades and I am led astray
by the wind that whispers
cold and clammy words right to my brain.
But it's okay, I'm just crazy... you know I couldn't love you any more.
When your face is stained
with tears of pain,
your smile fades
to remnants of a day
when we would laugh and we would play.
Sometimes I have to hold your hand.
Sometimes I have to make you laugh.
Sometimes I have to leave you all alone.
But those times are the best I've ever known.
Oh, they're the best we've ever grown.
