Melt Antarctica, savin’ Africa I failed algebra and I misused some times We’re at war again, save the world again You can all join in, but you can’t smoke inside You said “Take me home, I can’t stand this place ‘Cause there’s too many hipsters and I just can’t relate” You’re my neon gypsy, my desert rain You’re my “Helter Skelter”, oh how can I explain that You’re the best I ever had And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head But I read that soda kills you and Jesus saves On the bathroom wall where I saw your name You’re the best I ever had I won’t be the same Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones I’m looking at the crowd and they’re staring at their phones They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear (Oh God!) And maybe once a year, I think they’ll clean my car Caught my reflection, drop the call I’ve been medicated with cigarettes and alcohol I got vertigo, no I can’t see straight I got obligations though I’m usually late but You’re the best I ever had And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head But I think I dropped my wallet in Santa Fe Lost the only picture I had of you that day and You’re the best I ever had I won’t be the same Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota I think I love you, but don’t even know you Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota I think I love you, but don’t even know you Hey Carolina, Hey Oklahoma I think I love you, but don’t even know you Hey Alabama, Hey California I think I love you, but don’t even know you You’re the best I ever had (you’re the best I ever had) And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head (get stuck in my head) But I passed the longest sign on the interstate Saying “Find someone before it gets too late” You’re the best I ever had (you’re the best I ever had) I won’t be the same Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota (Oh why, oh why) I think I love you, but don’t even know you (I won’t be the same) Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota (you’re the best I ever had) I think I love you, but don’t even know you (I won’t be the same) Yeah, I won’t be the same
