Best of What's Around
Ok so my boyfriend is a HUGE Dave Matthews Band fan (don't judge, he's not your typical stoner fan type), and I like to listen to a DMB station on Pandora because it has a lot of relaxing, soothing music on it, and it reminds me of him, makes me happy. I'm not familiar with many DMB songs other than the more popular ones like Ants Marching and Everyday and so on. But this song came on and the lyrics struck a chord with me. I looked them up and thought maybe this should be my new mantra. Help me deal with the loneliness and everything else. Also a nice chat with another grad student friend out in Oklahoma also helped me. But here are the lyrics:
Dave Matthews Band - Best of What's Around
Hey, my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off of your mind
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
And so can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the Best of What's Around
Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest
She ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open
Her mind's eye is...
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a better road I feel
So you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but what you think
That really matters
That really matters
That really matters
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
And so can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the Best of What's Around
Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around
