The Best Thing
   | |
| Straight from Savage Garden... |
"This song represents my favorite kind of pop. There's this big keyboard riff, everything I was raised on musically. Lyrically, it's about those relationships that are really bad for you; they're crazy and they're obsessive, but they're like an addiction. The song is basically saying, it's probably going to kill me, but I love it and I just want to say what you mean to me. It also expresses fright that the person is becoming the best thing about you; about how sad it is that the best thing about you is someone else, but what the hell, it's fun." -Darren Hayes "For me, this song was inspired by guitar pop with a very riffy bass. When we started working on this project, Darren and I used to jam with that riff, which really made us feel like a band again. That's the way we created this song, just trying different things with the riff, Darren's singing along, and myself trying different instruments." -Daniel Jones |

-->chorus: never want to fly / never want to leave / never want to say what you mean to me / never want to run / frightened to believe / you're the best thing about me sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry / stuck in a maze searching for a way to / shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me / you're so close where do you end / where do I begin / always pushing and pulling / sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me / i'm in a daze stumbling bewildered / north of gravity head up in the stratosphere / you and I rollercoaster riding love / you're the center of adrenalin / and i'm beginning to understand -->chorus walk on broken glass make my way through fire / these are things I would do for love / farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason / up is down the impossible occurs each day / this intoxication thrills me / I only pray it doesn't kill me -->chorus you're the center of adrenalin / and i'm beginning to understand / you could be the best thing about me -->chorus you could be the best thing about me / what if you're the best thing about me |

International version Release Year: 2001Like "Chained to You," this video isn't really even a video... all it is, is the live footage from Superstars and Cannonballs. Because it was only released in the UK and Europe, they didn't film a video and used this clip. Did you notice... |
