The Best Is Yet to Come
Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a minute to think it over,
I’ll sweep the glass away,
Nobody on earth is perfect,
& this ain’t judgement day,
So I’ve been stupid again,
You say I’m getting worse,
A catalogue of mistakes,
You preach chapter and verse,

& so here we are again,
Your patience running thin,
Cause you allow it to get,
Right under your skin,

I don’t feel, what you feel,
There are no reasons for your tears,
We’re ok, in our own way,
So don’t you throw away the years,
Leave it be, trust in me,
You know that we have become one,
We can grow, because I know,
The best is yet to come,

You know your own mind that’s fine but,
I’ve opinions too,
Just because they differ sometimes,
It don’t mean that we’re through,

Let’s put our problems aside,
We owe it to ourselves,
If you will give it a try,
I’ll focus on nothing else,

I don’t feel, what you feel,
There are no reasons for your tears,
We’re ok, in our own way,
So don’t you throw away the years,
Leave it be, trust in me,
You know that we have become one,
We can grow, because I know,
The best is yet to come,

Or is there more to this, something that I just don’t know?
Am I in the way, should I simply go?

If your decision is made,
Then tell me what it is,
My world is falling apart,
A life in crisis,

I don’t feel, what you feel,
There are no reasons for your tears,
We’re ok, in our own way,
So don’t you throw away the years,
Leave it be, trust in me,
You know that we have become one,




We can grow, because I know,
The best is yet to come,
