It was a young and angry summer A song that changed my mind I heard it on the radio And if everyone else heard this They wouldn't be so sad It was the best I ever had It was the best I ever had ♪ I remember April '94 September '96 And every day of '99 (all of '99) Whether I waited for those records Or helped Seattle cry It was the best I ever had And I know we'll never die Yeah, we were right about it We'd be lost without it (ah-ah) Yeah, what could ever take that? I miss it too And I miss the songs we knew And if I could go back I'd do it all again It was the best I ever had While the world was waking up and Putting on their suits I was planning my escape And when I had that conversation With my mom and dad I said I'm never looking back It was the best I ever had And they were wrong about us We showed them not to doubt us (aah-ah) Yeah what could ever take that? I miss it too And I miss the songs we knew And if I could go back I'd do it all again It was the best I ever had ♪ I'd do it all again ♪ I've been everywhere now Searching far and wide But she was down the street She looked just like an angel Flying down to me But I was underground Where the devil comes to feed And everything felt so right I could show it to do wrong But she taught me everything And I don't know where she is now But I'll never forget She was the best I ever had Or ever will again ♪ The best I ever had ♪ And if everyone else heard this They wouldn't be so sad It was the best I ever had
