Lyrics
The best we can agree on
The agreement among us is that the situation could have been worse.
Is it could have been worse
Reflecting on a past, more favorable environment or circumstance.
What happened to your old
Questioning the disappearance of a previously perceived kind and supportive universe.
Benevolent universe?
Asking about the vanished idea of a benevolent and caring universe.
You know, the one with stars
Recalling a time when everything seemed to revolve around oneself.
That revolved around you
A nostalgic reference to a universe seemingly centered on the individual.
Beaming down full of promises
Describing a universe filled with assurances and commitments.
To bring good news
Expectation of positive or optimistic messages.
You used to feel that way
Reminiscing about a past emotional state.
The saddest words you could ever say
Expressing profound sorrowful words previously felt.
But I know you'll remember that day
Confident about the listener's recollection of a significant event.
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
Personal acknowledgment of the most uplifting words ever spoken.
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
(Repeated line)
The worst thing about it all
Stating the most negative aspect of the situation.
Is that you've never right
Indicating a consistent absence of being correct or justified.
And I'm still not really sure
Uncertain about the origins of a conflict or disagreement.
What started that fight
Pondering the start of an altercation.
But I still get this feeling
Despite uncertainties, sensing forthcoming trouble.
There's more trouble ahead
Ignoring the negative information and preferring positive news.
So never mind the bad news
Encouragement to focus on optimistic information instead of the negative.
Let's have the good news instead
Opting for positive updates over negative ones.
You used to feel that way
Revisiting a previous emotional state.
The saddest words you could ever say
Reiterating the expression of immense sadness.
But I know you'll remember that day
Confident about the listener's memory of a significant day.
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
Personal acknowledgment of the most uplifting words ever spoken.
And the most beautiful words
(Repeated line)
Some would said they never fear a thing
Some claim to lack fear, contrasting with the speaker's own feelings.
Well, I do (well, I do)
Acknowledging personal fear despite others' claims.
And I'm afraid enough for both of us
Expressing fear on behalf of both the speaker and the listener.
For me and you (me and you)
Shared fear between the speaker and the listener.
Time, if nothing else, will do its worst
Highlighting time's ability to bring about deterioration.
So do me that favor
Requesting a gesture of kindness regarding information delivery.
And tell me the good news first
Asking to hear the positive news first as a favor.
The good news first
Reiteration of the request for optimistic news foremost.
You used to feel that way
Revisiting a previous emotional state.
The saddest words you could ever say
Reiterating the expression of immense sadness.
But I know you'll remember that day
Confident about the listener's recollection of a significant day.
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
Personal acknowledgment of the most uplifting words ever spoken.
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
(Repeated line)
The most beautiful words I could ever say
Asserting the significance of expressing profoundly beautiful words.
