In 1999, the band that would become The Starting Line was initiated in Churchville, Pennsylvania via an e-mail from guitarist Matt Watts to vocalist/bassist Kenny Vasoli. It asked if the then fourteen-year-old Vasoli, who was at that time in a band called Smash Adams, was interested in "Jamming and shit", as the message title read. Only a few weeks later, Vasoli found himself rehearsing with his future band-mates Watts, guitarist Mike Golla and drummer Tom Gryskewicz. That year, Smash Adams released a tape, Batteries Not Included. It had 7 songs, of which only 4 were mastered. One song from that tape was incorporated into another bands work, 5 Days Ahead. They used a Smash Adams song, Kathleen, in an intro that was set inside of a car with two people talking. It was playing faintly in the background. Soon, the band started touring under the name Sunday Drive, selling out home-made merchandise and a self-recorded demo cassette titled Four Songs. Their first official release was a three-way split with The Jimmy Tuesday Band and The Commercials contributing three songs each, released on KickStart Audio in 2000.
Powter would later record an alternative version of Best of Me with the lyric "Though it's not your favorite song" changed to "Even if it's not your favorite song" for his greatest hits album named after the song. The alternative version's lyrics would be then used with a slightly different tune and added backing arrangement for the 2012 version on Powter's fourth studio album, Turn on the Lights.
Cover versions
William Chan, a Hong Kong singer, recorded a cover version in Cantonese for his album in 2009. (Chinese name of the song: "今天終於知道錯")
Zoe Fleury, better known by her stage nameZowie, is a New Zealander singer-songwriter. Zowie has toured with artists Katy Perry, Mark Ronson, The Kills and Peaches under the name Bionic Pixie. She later changed her name to Zowie, and released her debut single "Broken Machine", which entered the Top 10 in New Zealand. Her debut album, Love Demolition, peaked at number 31 on the New Zealand Top 40 Album chart. Fleury is also one half of the duo 'The Bengal Lights', playing the drums.
Biography
1987-2009: Early life and career beginnings
Zoe Fleury was born in AucklandNew Zealand in 1988, and is the daughter of musician Johnny Fleury & teacher Ruth Fleury. Zowie began playing drums at the age of 11, and wanted to have a career in the music industry. Fleury later went to school to study drumming, and later joined various "punk rock" bands and experimented with screamo music and lyrics. This later led to the formation of the punk rock female duo The Bengal Lights. After finishing school, Fleury continued to work in the band as well as study the music business by working at Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. Zowie later began writing her own music under the name Bionic Pixie, a character she created. Under the name, she released the electronic song titled "Toss the Coin", which later began being played at various fashion shows. Despite this, the single received no official release. Under the new identity, Zowie was a performer at the 2009 Big Day Out in Auckland. Zowie later said of the experience "I was thinking that no-one was going to be there, but [I was] still excited, obviously. But then we got on stage and the whole field was packed out. Obviously everyone goes to the first stage when you're the first band playing, but in the crowd were heaps of representatives from Universal and Sony." Zowie then went on to sign a record deal with Sony,

The Starting Line - Best Of Me (Extended Music Video Version)
Heya I thought the music video for this song was a bit strange since it said "(Short Intro)" and I watched the making of the music video and they were talking about how the music video was made and what was going to be in it. So there was bound to be another version of it somewhere, so I looked on Vimeo and there it was!
Apparently the director of the music video himself uploaded it, here's the link to the original video: https://vimeo.com/101985393
Song and Music Video belongs to The Starting Line
Also sadly this music video doesn't have the part where the guy realizes that the girl is actually across the street from him ;p I'm not sure they even filmed that, it would suck tho if they didn't.

Lyrics below:
This town was a lovers stage
But now you can't recognize
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your bearings
You're slipping into the ground
The scene has no color and no sound
You still believe in me
After the things I've done
You fear for what we have become
The ground is uneven
We stumble from day to day
You shelter where it's easy
Although your feet are like lead
But you gotta get underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
Love won't rest 'til it brings you to your knees
Some find it easy, some will never even know
You think you've done your journey
Then you stumble and find that there's such a long way to go
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
You wanna be lost and not be found
But let's take the back way into town
Drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me
Girl, I still believe in you
You're too good to fall so low
We're gonna find a better life I know
Things will be clearer
As soon as we make a start
We'll be that much nearer
We're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
On me, on me

I was made the wrong way
Won't you do me the right way?
Where you gonna be tonight
'Cause I won't stay too long?
Maybe you're the light for me
When you talk to me it strikes me
Won't somebody help me
'Cause I don't feel too strong?
Was it something that I said, was it something that I did
Or the combination of both that did me in?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Even if it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be there when
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don't wanna be there when

You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought finally being erased
But baby that's the best of me, yeah
Baby that's the best of me
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought finally being erased
Baby that's the best of me
Daniel Powter-Best Of Me.
I was made the wrong way
Won't you do me the right way?
Where you gonna be tonight
'Cause I won't stay too long?
Maybe you're the light for me
When you talk to me it strikes me
Won't somebody help me
'Cause I don't feel too strong?
Was it something that I said, was it something that I did
Or the combination of both that did me end?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
Baby that's the best of me
Everything's behind you
But the hopeless stands besides you
Living in the moment
Have I wasted all your time?
Was it something that I said, was it something that I did
Or the combination of both that did me end?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought finally being erased
But baby that's the best of me, yeah
Baby that's the best of me
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do, you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me

Lyrics below:
This town was a lovers stage
But now you can't recognize
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your bearings
You're slipping into the ground
The scene has no color and no sound
You still believe in me
After the things I've done
You fear for what we have become
The ground is uneven
We stumble from day to day
You shelter where it's easy
Although your feet are like lead
But you gotta get underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
Love won't rest 'til it brings you to your knees
Some find it easy, some will never even know
You think you've done your journey
Then you stumble and find that there's such a long way to go
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
You wanna be lost and not be found
But let's take the back way into town
Drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me
Girl, I still believe in you
You're too good to fall so low
We're gonna find a better life I know
Things will be clearer
As soon as we make a start
We'll be that much nearer
We're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
On me, on me
Music video by Keane performing The Starting Line. (C) 2012 Island Records, a division of Universal Music Operations Limited
Heya I thought the music video for this song was a bit strange since it said "(Short Intro)" and I watched the making of the music video and they were talking about how the music video was made and what was going to be in it. So there was bound to be another version of it somewhere, so I looked on Vimeo and there it was!
Apparently the director of the music video himself uploaded it, here's the link to the original video: https://vimeo.com/101985393
Song and Music Video belongs to The Starting Line
Also sadly this music video doesn't have the part where the guy realizes that the girl is actually across the street from him ;p I'm not sure they even filmed that, it would suck tho if they didn't.

Daniel Powter-Best Of Me.
I was made the wrong way
Won't you do me the right way?
Where you gonna be tonight
'Cause I won't stay too long?
Maybe you're the light for me
When you talk to me it strikes me
Won't somebody help me
'Cause I don't feel too strong?
Was it something that I said, was it something that I did
Or the combination of both that did me end?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again
And when you do you need a friend
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left for me
And I hate the thought of finally being erased
Baby that's the best of me
Everything's behind you
But the hopeless stands besides you
Living in the moment
Have I wasted all your time?
Was it something that I said, was it something that I did
Or the combination of both that did me end?
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Don't wanna be the wind
There's nothing left to say
You know that some of us spin again

Don't wanna be the wind

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone The worst is over, you can have the best of me We got older but we're still young We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up Here we lay again on two separate beds Riding phone lines to meet a familiar voice Pictures drawn from memories We reflect on miscommunications and misunderstandings And missing each other too much to have had to let go We turn our music down and we whisper Say what you're thinking right now Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone The worst is over, you can have the best of me We got older but we're still young We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up Jumping to conclusions made me fall away from you I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you We're sitting on the ground and we whisper Say what you're thinking out loud Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone The worst is over, you can have the best of me We got older but we're still young We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up We turn our music down and we whisper We're sitting on the grounds and we whisper We turn our music down, we're sitting on the grounds The next time I'm in town, we will kiss girl, we will kiss girl Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone The worst is over, you can have the best of me We got older but we're still young We never grew out of this feeling that we won't Feeling that we can't, we're not ready to give up We got older but we're still young We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up
