Your Best Thing

(album: The Dandelion Sessions - 2009)

She's fuller than most, she don't need words to feel strong
If you bring them too fast, she'll dart conversation along
She wants to get married but that day can't be wrong
She's looking for traveling before making a home
Maybe a mess but something special
And she's your girl

She's so indecisive, like each meal is her last
And then she uses those eyes and their right to entrance
She mostly drives you crazy with impatience and prance
But ever-so-charming when you give her a chance
She's a story, she's a fighter
And she's your girl

And you know what you're getting into
But you want it so bad, you can't fight
Cause she's more than you dreamed you could have
And, if ever, she'll have you forever will call it
The most difficult, beautiful, wonderful
Your best thing

She's got 13 moods for the hours of the sun
And there are days you believe she likes to argue for fun
But on a good day, you know she's the only one
No matter where you're standing, you're together alone
She's blazing, cold as winter
And she's your girl

And you know what you're getting into
But you want it so bad, you can't fight
Cause she's more than you dreamed you could have
And, if ever, she'll have you forever will call it
The most difficult, beautiful, wonderful
Your best thing

What you don't know keeps you guessing
A little chase keeps it young
One day, she's a stranger, now a partner in stone
Cause that woman, she'll defend you when the world says you're wrong
And it's a beautiful day everyday cause it's home
Why, she's your brick, she's your lover
And she's your wife

And you know what you're getting into
But you want it so bad, you can't fight
Cause she's more than you dreamed you could have
And, if ever, she'll have you forever will call it
The most difficult, beautiful, wonderful
The most difficult, beautiful, wonderful
Your best thing
