[Chorus]
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

[Verse 1]
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 roller coaster riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand

[Chorus]
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

[Verse 2]
Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the 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]
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

[Bridge]
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me

[Chorus]
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?

Savage Garden

Savage Garden is Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones—the Australian pop duo who rose to mainstream prominence in the late ‘90s with their hits “Truly Madly Deeply” and “To the Moon and Back.”

They are named for a concept in Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” books, of which Darren was a fan. Lestat calls beauty a savage garden, and Marius later turns the phrase back on him to describe “the mind of man”.

They split in 2001, as Daniel did not enjoy the spotlight, and Darren went on to some success as a solo act.
