“The Best of Me” is quite possibly the greatest pop-punk song ever written. When initially released, the song received massive airplay on MTV. The song’s legacy carries on as it is considered a landmark in the genre and a blue-print for later bands.

[Verse 1]
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
[Verse 2]
Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
To meet a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too
Much to have had to let go
[Bridge 1]
We turn our music down
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now"
[Chorus]
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
[Verse 3]
Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
I'm so glad that the truth
Has brought back together me and you
[Bridge 2]
We're sitting on the ground and we whisper
"Say what you're thinking out loud"
[Chorus]
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
[Breakdown]
Turn our music down
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss girl
We will kiss girl
[Chorus]
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
Feeling that we can't
We're not ready to give up
[Outro]
We got older, but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
