Lyrics

The Best of Us
Words and music by Lance Morgan


I guess this is the way it has to be
You can take the sofa, I?ll take that old TV
But what about the rest of us, all those photographs
Let?s look back at the best of us and cut ?em all in half

There?s frames with smiling faces on the shelves
A picture of our first home, we fixed it up ourselves
Sunsets to the west of us are hanging on the wall
Sinking with the best of us as we divide it all

Here?s the one you always hated most
It doesn?t seem so long ago we used to really wear those clothes
I guess no one ever knows the way things come, the way they go
Just like a wild river flows
And now it?s all been covered up with dust
Like flaming red now turned to rust
No memories that you can trust
So forget them if you must, the best of us

Look at all this life we once dreamed of
The two of us at Christmas, we were so much in love
Time has made a mess of us, just look at us today
These pictures of the best of us will quickly fade away

Chorus

I guess this is the way it has to be
You can take the mirror, there?s nothing left to see
But what about the rest of us, all those photographs
Let?s look back at the best of us and cut ?em all in half
