what i almost had

Lyrics

[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
