The Best Thing

(album: A River Through It - 2013)

I tried to warn her this ain't a friendly game
It's just warfare by a different name
But she won't listen so I'm trying to pretend
That I don't know how the story's gonna end

But the best thing I can do for my heart
The best thing I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won't wreck each other's worlds

It's like a tight rope hanging by a thread
A vicious cycle where no one comes out ahead
She's diving in to try to save a drowning man
But I'll take her down with me if I can

But the best thing I can do for my heart
The best thing I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won't wreck each other's worlds

My heart stays locked away somewhere
You're the reason that it's there

But the best thing, I can do for my heart
The best thing, I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won't wreck each other

The best thing I can do for my heart
The best thing I can do for that girl
Is act like we never noticed one another
Maybe we won't wreck each other's worlds

The best thing, yeah, the best thing
