I went to the carwash where we first met
And I tried to get my car clean by that dirt just wouldnât lift
Like your hands in the harvest from working in the soil
Theyâre both bound to get clean but I couldnât help but feel
The best things in life, no, they donât come for free
Thereâs always a cost to pay for good memories
Always a weight to bear with heavy hearts
Always a sacrifice for the best things in life
I walked the streets where we first started talking
I was dreaming of waters to the east
Little did I know then how thatâd change things
Just another cost to carry on with me
The best things in life, no, they donât come for free
Thereâs always a cost to pay for good memories
Always a weight to bear with heavy hearts
Always a sacrifice for the best things in life
Waking up early just to meet your eyes
Or standing by the kitchen sink watching the sun rise
Showing me your favourite place underneath the stars
Oh itâs always the little things that tend to break my heart
I guess all Iâm saying is that car never came clean
It kept holding on to all that dirt like old memories
I know they say the other side is always more green
But I canât help to thinking where we could have been
The best things in life, no, they donât come for free
Thereâs always a cost to pay for good memories
Always a weight to bear with heavy hearts
Always a sacrifice for the best things in life
Always a cost to pay for everything in life
