I've been gone for so long now

Chasing everything thats new

I've forgotten how I got here

I've not forgotten you

We were just children

with our eyes openin' and,

You were all that i could see

You came close enough to

know my heart beat but

Still not close enough for me

Through the good times and the bad

You were the best I never had

The only chance I wish I had to take

There was no writing on the wall

No warning signs to follow

I know now and I just cant forget

You're the best I never had

Nanana

In this motel

Well pass midnight

When im bluer than a bruise

You come drifting in

through the half light

In your funny yellow shoes

And I hope that's you

standing at my doorway

That's the scratchin of your key

And I hope this song im singing

Someday finds you

My letter to Elise

Mmmmhhhh!

Through the good times and the bad

You were the best I never had

The only chance I wish I had to take

There was no writing on the wall

No warning signs to follow

I know now and I just cant forget

You're the best I never had

Na Na, Na Na Na

Best I never had

Na Na, Na Na Na

Best I never had

Na na, Na Na Na
