Best Problem – Adam Melchor

Back where the flies are on fire at night
Like a shotgun peppered the black sheet sky
Making tiny holes where light comes through
Your name’s in every place I’m driving to
And these highway towns only flicker so bright
From the fireworks on the Fourth of July
There’s a beach chair waitin’ on a roof somewhere
And you’re sitting in it wishing that I was there

Oh, it’s a problem, but a good one
Worth solving if it is true love
The kind of love that makes you wanna cry
From the drama or confusion
When the heart’s just saying to do this
And every bit of whirlwind’s worth the while
You’re the only one in this whole world I miss
That’s the best problem there is

Moving through a portal of two green eyes
I remember the confetti and disco lights
A slow dance glance in a crowded room
And two hands touching in an Uber pool
Barely waiting for the car to stop
We jumped out and it drove off
But you held still with a statue’s view
And said nothin’ coulda come between me and you

Oh, it’s a problem, but a good one
Worth solving if it is true love
The kind of love that makes you wanna cry
From the drama or confusion
When the heart’s just saying to do this
And every bit of whirlwind’s worth the while
You’re the only one in this whole world I miss
That’s the best problem there is

You’re the only one in this whole world I miss
That’s the best problem there is
