The Best In Me

Malcolm Middleton

You know tonight they say it's not even going to get dark.

Tonight I'm staying alive.

Seagulls clatter on the cinema roof,

it's not too bad.

And tonight that star doesn't seem so far.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

Black and white movies make me happy.

So would climbing a hill with you this Tuesday.

Tonight the colours seem to disobey my eyes.

The rules of shape and boundaries forgotten one more time.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

If I could, I'd bottle up the night and give it to you;

You could tip it out tomorrow in the day.

You know how sometimes the daylight hurts my eyes?

We could sell Night to all the day people.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, so there.

You bring out the best in me, nothing like the rest of the time.

You bring out the best in me, go on.
