It was a young and angry summer
A song that changed my mind
I heard it on the radio

And if everyone else heard this
They wouldn't be so sad
It was the best I ever had

It was the best I ever had

I remember April '94

September '96
And every day of '99 (all of '99)
Whether I waited for those records

Or helped Seattle cry
It was the best I ever had
And I know we'll never die


Yeah we were right about it
We'd be lost without it

Yeah what could ever take that?

I miss it too

And I miss the songs we knew
And if I could go back
I'd do it all again

It was the best I ever had

While the world was waking up and

Putting on their suits
I was planning my escape
And when I had that conversation

With my mom and dad
I said I'm never looking back
It was the best I ever had


And they were wrong about us
We showed them not to doubt us

Yeah what could ever take that?

I miss it too

And I miss the songs we knew
And if I could go back
I'd do it all again

It was the best I ever had

I'd do it all again


I've been everywhere now
Searching far and wide

But she was down the street
She looked just like an angel
Flying down to me

But I was underground
Where the devil comes to feed


And everything felt so right
I could show it to do wrong
But she taught me everything

And I don't know where she is now
But I'll never forget
She was the best I ever had

Or ever will again
The best I ever had


And if everyone else heard this
They wouldn't be so sad
It was the best I ever had
