what i almost had

[Verse 1]

Look out your window, you'll catch me crying

Sulking in silence, sitting in the car

Cold Colorado, I'm off to college

You're hanging hostage, still working at the bar

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you always get this nervous in the spring, my dear?

Tell me, is it any easier this year?

[Chorus]

Though I tried my best there's no forgetting you

Had it all worked out but life had plans for you too

Since I made it out of this small town

I figured you would stick around

But I can't get back what I almost had with you

[Post-Chorus]

Uh

What I almost had with you

[Verse 2]

I'm too shy to talk so we took a walk

Too dumb to make you laugh, instead I pissed you off

I'll quit making noise, to hang with the boys

Making excuses, doing things I don't enjoy

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you always get this nervous in the spring, my dear?

Tell me, is it any easier this year?

[Chorus]

Though I tried my best, there's no forgetting you

Had it all worked out, but life had plans for you too

Since I made it out of this small town

I figured you would stick around

But I can't get back what I almost had with you

[Post-Chorus]

Uh

What I almost had with you

[Outro]

Four more days 'til we last speak

After a track meet, you're in the front

I'm in the backseat of your best friends truck

When he turns and he says "Who's the curly-headed fuck?"

And I was way too young to realize

What's dead in the winter

Is gone by the springtime

You can just drop me by the stop sign

I know it's cold, I'll be fine
