We’ve always loved this song, but became especially obsessed after Patrick serenaded David with his acoustic guitar version (we’re referring to the amazing Schitt’s Creek, of course). We took inspiration from that sweet version (by Noah Reid) as well as from Billianne’s gorgeous rendition. We hope you enjoy and add it to your wedding playlists! 😘 (It’s up on Spotify now, and sheet music is on .)

LYRICS:
I call you when I need you
When my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired
When you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak the language of love
Like you know what it means
And it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the start
Of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh, baby, don’t let go!
You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
You’re the best
You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
You’re the best
You’re better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
Oh, you’re the best
