It's been a year filled with problems
But now you're here, almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you, now

All my life I've been searching for you
How did I survive in this world before you?
Cause I don't want to live another day without you, now

[Chorus]
This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

All I want to have is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back everything I've kept in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right as this does right now

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past, try harder to forget
Cause nothing will ever be as good as here and now

Cause when I looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back
You should have said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening

[Chorus]

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

I always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamed
It'd be like this
Cause you've surpassed all that I'd hoped for and ever wished
And I'm trying so hard, with all my heart and mind
To make your life as good as you've made mine

[Chorus]

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

[Chorus]

    My Opinion:I think this song is just about a guy who has something amazing happen to him (as in a special someone walking into his life) and it cant help but to be the Best Thing that ever happened to him... :P

    General Comment:This song is epic! It means a lot to me, cuz it just describes how something (a girl or an amazing thing) impacts his life in the most extraordinary way, and it cant be any better than The Best Thing!

    General Comment:'I'll go back to before we met. Try and erase the past. Try harder to forget.' My friend and I were arguing the meaning. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    General Comment:I can kinda see how this song could be about God, I mean, looking into His eyes is actually really easy, maybe not His literal eyes, but yeah. But I honestly think this song is about a girl. Matty T said himself that most of this CD is about relationships with other people, but maybe they have double meanings? idk...

    General Comment:This is my boyfriend and my song (:
    it's absolutely perfect and describes us perfectly
    I was raped by an ex, 2 years ago, i'm sixteen now.
    & he comes along & has been the most amazing person ever. he seriously saved me
    I think the song is about two people falling in love & it's saying they they are the best thing in each other's life. My favorite line is ..."cause when I looked into your eyes, and you dared to stare back, you should have said nice to meet you, i'm your other half..." <3 <3
    Relient K are pure genius'
    I love you grant <3

    General Comment:I really hate it that just because a band is known as christian and has a few songs that are indeed about god that to everyone ALL their songs MUST be about god.

    I think this song is about two people who fell in love, everything is right with that person, they want to be a better person for them because when its just the two of them everything is perfect. They feel they found their other half they dont want to let go because its the best thing that could be happening.

    General Comment:I think this could be about God. When it says 'Cause when I looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back
    You should have said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half" , it mean that God becomes fully a part of you, filling you up. Also, the song says "I'm trying so hard, with all my heart and mind
    To make your life as good as you've made mine" meaning the person is trying to please God, but he can't, because God has done so much good for him.

    however, i can see how it probably is about a girl.

    General Comment:There's no way this sound is about God.

    First off: 'Cause when I looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back
    You should have said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

    That would never happen.

    Secondly: To make your life as good as you've made mine
    Yeah...right.

    It's just about a girl that means a lot to him.
