Best I Ever Had [Dutch translation]

Melt Antarctica, savin’ Africa

I failed algebra and I miss you sometimes

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've read that soda kills you and Jesus saves

On a 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 to clean my car

Caught my reflection, dropped the call

I’ve been medicating 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

(not to get stuck in my head)

But I passed a lonely sign on the interstate

Saying, “Find someone 'fore 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
