"Best Ones" lyrics

The good nights
Don't have rainy blue eyes that wreck me without warning
They don't taste like wine and cigarettes that melt into the morning
They don't end up with me waking up with you
No, the good nights don't
But the best ones do

And the good songs
Don't get stuck inside my head long after they're over
They don't sound like lower Broadway, your head on my shoulder
They don't remember when I fell in love with you
No, the good songs don't
But the best ones do

The best ones
They come right outta nowhere
You'd give anything to go there one more time
The best ones
They ain't always the last ones
But you know one when you've had one
And you're mine

The good hearts
Don't have doors with locks they don't let me open
They don't slip away the closer I try to hold 'em
They sure don't leave mine bruised and broken in two
No, the good hearts don't
But the best ones do

Yeah, the best ones
They come right outta nowhere
You'd give anything to go there one more time
The best ones
They ain't always the last ones
But you'll know one when you've had one
And you're mine
You're mine

Yeah, the best ones
They leave you on a Friday
And you'd kill to live that Thursday one more time
Yeah, the best ones
The hardest to forget ones
And you probably only get one
And you're mine
You're mine
You're mine
