[Verse 1]
Why did you cut down that tree in your front yard?
I had watched it grow for many years since I was a girl
And it seemed to shake my gravity just a little
It feels like the paint is peeling on my heart
[Verse 2]
When are we making it out to that island?
You never took me anywhere when I was yours
And I am all alone in Italy now
And I could break it but I wouldn't know how
[Chorus]
And you are the best thing
That I have ever had
[Verse 3]
Tried to make it to the carnival, tried to bake it into a pie
While you were up there with Ida Mesh[?], I was getting high
I see you out there in the corner, you are wanting something more
For your life and for my life
[Chorus]
You are the best thing
That I have ever had
[Verse 4]
I broke my leg on that hill, I remember it so
We were looking for a rose, looking for something closer
To the edge of all that I am, you are wanting something more
For your life and for our life
[Outro]
You are the best thing
That I have ever had
And no one could ever know
That I am better off from being your one
