Best Thing I Never Bought

Verse

Fluorescent lights hum over aisle nine

Price gun clicking out the closing time

You're folding sweaters, laughing at my jokes

Last call ringing through the intercom

Pre-Chorus

Tags still swinging on the rack

Sale signs peeling, no turning back

Was it worth it, walking out that door

Leaving something I adore

Chorus

Every dollar spent, every coin I saved

Couldn't buy the feeling that you gave

You were the one thing not for sale

The best thing I never bought

And I'm still paying for the thought

Some things stay when everything else is sold

Verse

New town, new store, same buzzing lights

Different name tag, still the same goodnight

I keep the receipt from the day we met

Folded in my wallet like a bet

Pre-Chorus

Tags still swinging in my mind

Sale signs fading, left behind

Was it worth it, letting go the door

I keep coming back for more

Chorus

Every dollar spent, every coin I saved

Couldn't buy the feeling that you gave

You were the one thing not for sale

The best thing I never bought

And I'm still paying for the thought

Some things stay when everything else is sold

Bridge

Maybe closing time's just a beginning

Maybe losing's just a kind of winning

I don't need the bag, don't need the box

I just need the door to open up

Chorus

Every dollar spent, every coin I saved

Couldn't buy the feeling that you gave

You were the one thing not for sale

The best thing I never bought

And I'm still paying for the thought

Some things stay when everything else is sold

Some things stay when everything else is sold
