YOU WERE THE BEST (DEAN'S LAMENT)
I said,"I don't always say the right thing"
He said, "I know"
I said, "I really need a drive"
He said, "let's go"
"I'm not good," I said, "I'm dirt"He said, "can't you see?
You're fields and hills and mountains, Dean
You are the world to me"
He was the bestHe was the best of anyone
And now he's gone
And I'm supposed to just forget him
And carry on
My fields are dead and emptyI fell asleep in my car
The earth sits still in darkness
'Cause it's missing
It's missing
A star
I said,"I don't always do the right thing"
He said, "don't cry"
I said, "when you come back, will you
Teach me the sky?"
'Cause I have lived my life afraid
To take to air
But I think I would be alright
If you were there
You were the bestYou were the best of anyone
You can't be gone
'Cause I can live without you
But it feels wrong
I lie on my back and think of youAnd how you can't be far
The earth is cold tonight
Because it's missing
It's missing
A star
I said,"I don't always know the right thing
But I am sure
That you and I cannot be over
There must be more"
During the day, the stars are thereJust hidden out of view
They won't come out until the night
Cas, I will wait for you
You were the bestYou were the best of anyone
I know you're there
I used to be so mad at you
Now I don't care
I just want you here beside meEverything that you are
Of all the constellations,
You're the brightest
You're my favorite
