Best I Ever Lost

[verse] the kettle’s whistling lonesome on the stove thinking of the way we used to love i feel the sunlight hitting differently today it’s like the color’s starting to decay [pre chorus] do you feel us drifting from the center line? (from the center line?) i’m watching the eyes find the exit sign (find the exit sign) [chorus] i’ll fix the cracks if you stay another hour keep the roots from turning sour (turning sour) because losing you is a thought i cannot carry it’s a weight that makes the future look so weary i’d rather die than pay that heavy cost i won’t let you be the best i ever lost [verse] the records spin without a single note just the scratchy feeling in the throat the car is idling out there in the rain waiting for the moment you decide to leave again [pre chorus] do you feel us drifting from the center line? (from the center line?) i’m watching the eyes find the exit sign (find the exit sign) [chorus] i’ll fix the cracks if you stay another hour keep the roots from turning sour (turning sour) because losing you is a thought i cannot carry it’s a weight that makes the future look so weary i’d rather die than pay that heavy cost i won’t let you be the best i ever lost [bridge] i’ll try everything to keep the table set for two hoping for the version of the man i knew in you don’t give up on the way it used to feel keep your hands right here upon the wheel i’m looking for a reason not to let you go [chorus] i’ll fix the cracks if you stay another hour keep the roots from turning sour (turning sour) because losing you is a thought i cannot carry it’s a weight that makes the future look so weary i’d rather die than pay that heavy cost i won’t let you be the best i ever lost
