You're The Best Thing About Me (Kygo version)

Originally posted by CMIPalaeo:OK, I think I've got all the lyrics worked out except the line in italics. Bold are differences from the first set of posted lyrics:

When you look so good
The pain in your face doesn't show
When you look so good
Baby, you don't even know
When the world is ours
And every door smells of fresh paint
When the girl...[something] [might be Holy Ghost rather than girl?]
Says it’s friction that makes you a saint
When we've seen enough
To know it's children that teach
When you're free enough
To wake up on a bed on a beach

You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened to boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best thing are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me

Why…
Why am I walking away?
Why…
Why am I walking away?

I've been crying out
How bad can a good boy be?
Shooting off my mouth
That's another great thing about me

I got everything, but I feel like nothing at all
There's no risky thing for a man who’s determined to fall

You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened to boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
Save me from myself

The best thing
The best thing

What if the "the best thing about me" has nothing to do with God or Ali or being something interpretive, and he's talking about music itself?

"You're the best thing about me...why am I walking away?"

Possible... I'm thinking its more along the line of Every Breaking Wave, complexities of long term love/marriage...

That was my first instinct as well.

Also interesting, comparing with the beach clip:

@U2start Beach clip: "Got a golden ring and a reason not to fall" instead of
"There's no risky thing for a man who’s determined to fall"
