The Best I've Ever Found
Journey Beyond Regret: The Best I've Ever Found
Lyrics
I've got half a tank of gas in the gut of this metal casket
I have about half a tank of gas in the car, which feels like a coffin.
And I don't know where it's rolling but I'm never looking back
I'm uncertain about the direction my life is taking, but I'm determined not to dwell on the past.
This city is a graveyard
The city symbolizes a dead place, devoid of life.
There's nothing here but rotting buildings
The city is full of decayed and dilapidated structures.
I think I died in that apartment, just too dumb to know I'm done for
I feel like I emotionally perished in that apartment but was unaware of it.
Still taste the cheap vodka, think it's buried in my gums
I can still taste the remnants of cheap vodka, possibly indicating past excessive drinking.
I covered all the windows up
I closed off all connections to the outside world.
And drowned myself for a year
I immersed myself in something negative or destructive for a significant period.
Maybe that's the best I could do, but I just can't anymore
I might have done my best in the past, but I can't continue like this.
But we could just drive south forever; glue the pedal to the floor
Suggesting escaping reality by driving endlessly, evading responsibilities.
I've got a lousy fucking temper and I'm angry at the world
Expressing frustration and anger towards the world.
But I think I'm doing better this year
Despite the anger, there's a sense of personal improvement this year.
So maybe I could pull through it
Feeling optimistic about overcoming challenges.
I guess that what I'm saying is I know I'm damaged goods
Acknowledging personal flaws or issues.
But with you I feel less broken, and I'm hoping that you would
Feeling less broken or damaged in the presence of someone else.
Stick around with me and drive this car
Desiring companionship and hoping the person stays despite the flaws.
Into the ugly ground
Willingness to face difficulties or hardships together.
Maybe that's the best we can do, but it's the best I've ever found
Suggesting that despite imperfections, the relationship is the best thing discovered.
