The Best Thing
Journey of Love and Loss: The Red Skirts' Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I was thinking about the things you said
I was reflecting on the words you spoke
Oh, how it's changed since we first met
Observing how things have evolved since our initial meeting
You just looked at me, thought I was queer
You glanced at me, perhaps with a judgmental perception
At least I'm not a liar, like all your friends are
Contrasting myself with your deceitful friends, emphasizing honesty
I've got too many issues, so it would seem
Admitting to having numerous personal challenges
But I'll wear you on my sleeve, whatever that means
Expressing a willingness to display emotions openly, though unsure of its significance
We used to go for drives in my car
Recalling moments of joy, specifically driving together in my car
and it was the best thing
Highlighting the joy of those shared experiences as the best part
We didn't make it very far
Acknowledging that our journeys did not extend too far
And it was the best thing
Reiterating the sentiment that these limited moments were the best
Only four days in and you break the news
Learning of distressing news only four days into the relationship
There's someone else you've been talking to
Discovering that you've been communicating with someone else
Asked me if we could still be friends
Facing a request to maintain friendship despite the situation
What am I supposed to say to that?
Expressing uncertainty and the difficulty of responding to such a request
I don't want your heart, I just want your face
Clarifying a desire for physical connection rather than emotional involvement
Was hoping I could get a little taste
Expressing a wish for a brief romantic encounter
And maybe take you back
Hoping for a chance to reconcile and bring you back to my home
To my place
Revisiting the theme of driving back to my place for intimacy
We used to go for drives in my car
Nostalgically recalling the joy of driving together
And it was the best thing
Affirming that those shared drives were the pinnacle of happiness
We didn't make it very far
Reiterating that the journeys were cut short but remained the best
And it was the best thing
Concluding with the affirmation that those limited moments were indeed the best
