The Best
Hook N Sling Galantis KAREN HARDING Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we looked at the stars
In the back of your car
Didn't care where we are
We were going too fast
Said it won't be the last
Told you that was the best

Our body's dancing to the moonlight

We kick our shoes off and it's alright
We light it up until we get high
Yeah, we look like a mess
I told you that was the best

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you, I told you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best

I told you, I told you (hey)

I told you (hey)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best
(That was the best, the best, the best)
(That was the best, the best, the best)

When we looked at the stars
In the back of your car
Didn't care where we are
We were going too fast
Said it won't be the last
Told you that was the best

Our body's dancing to the moonlight
We kick our shoes off and it's alright
We light it up until we get high
Yeah, we look like a mess
I told you that was the best

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you, I told you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best

I told you, I told you (hey)

I told you (hey)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
I told you that was the best
