the best thing

Darren: This song represents my favourite kind of pop. Theres this big keyboard riff, everything I was raised on musically. Lyrically, its about those relationships that are really bad for you; theyre crazy and theyre obsessive, but theyre like an addiction. This song is basically saying, its probably going to kill me, but I love it and I want to say what you mean to me. It also expresses fright that the person is becomming the best thing about you; about how sad it is the best thing about you is someone else, but what the hell, its fun. Daniel: For me, this song was inspired by the guitar pop with a very riffy bass. When we started working on this project, Darren and I used to jam with that riff, which really made us feel like a band again. Thats the way we created this song, just trying different things with the riff, Darrens singing along, and myself trying different instruments.

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
Your the best thing about me

Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
Your so close where do you end and where do I begin?
Always pushing anbd pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
Im in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
Youre the center of adrenaline
And Im beginning to understand

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
Your the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through the fire
These are things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it dosnt kill me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
Your the best thing about me

your the centre of adrenaline
And Im beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
Your the best thing about me

You could be the best thing about me
What if youre the best thing about me?
