hey my friend
it seems your eyes are troubled
care to share your time with me
would you say you're feeling low and so
a good idea would be to get it off your mind
see you and me
have a better time than most can dream
have it better than the best
so can pull on through
whatever tears at us
whatever holds us down
and if nothing can be done
we'll make the best of what's around
turns out not where but who you're with
that really matters
and hurts not much when you're around
and if you hold on tight
to what you think is your thing
you may find you're missing all the rest
well she run up into the light surprised
her arms are open
her mind's eye is
seeing things from a
better side than most can dream
on a clearer road i feel
oh you could say she's safe
whatever tears at her
whatever holds her down
and if nothing can be done
she'll make the best of what's around
it seems your eyes are troubled
care to share your time with me
would you say you're feeling low and so
a good idea would be to get it off your mind
see you and me
have a better time than most can dream
have it better than the best
so can pull on through
whatever tears at us
whatever holds us down
and if nothing can be done
we'll make the best of what's around
turns out not where but who you're with
that really matters
and hurts not much when you're around
and if you hold on tight
to what you think is your thing
you may find you're missing all the rest
well she run up into the light surprised
her arms are open
her mind's eye is
seeing things from a
better side than most can dream
on a clearer road i feel
oh you could say she's safe
whatever tears at her
whatever holds her down
and if nothing can be done
she'll make the best of what's around

I hope this is the last song they ever play. Encore #3 on their last concert. Man, that'd be so awesome.
I miss the DMB of the 90s.
got to point out stefan lessard's bass in this song.. quite an underated bass player
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel
Oh you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around
It basically just tells me to pick myself up and keep on truckin' because I'm gonna make the best of what's around.
Also, it is so powerful because it kind of alludes to a relationship. Although things are not always perfect in the relationship, the world takes less of a toll on them when they are together, so even though things are not amazing, they will make the best of what they have and the time that they are given together.
Also, its about having someone thats a bestfriend/lover b/c he sings about adoring someone who lives in the moment and together they live life....hence...."And if nothing can be done
WELL make the best of what's around".
Makes me look at life like this....
dont live in the past....its already done
dont live in the future....its unsure
LIVE now in the moment.....its eternity
Cheers
