The Best I Ever Had

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
