What I Almost Had

Look out your window, you'll catch me crying
Soaking in silence, sitting in the car
Cold Colorado, I'm off to college
You're hanging hostage, still working at the bar

Do you always get this nervous in the spring, my dear?
Tell me is it any easier this year

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

Uh
What I almost had with you

I'm too shy to talk so we talk a walk
Too dumb to make you laugh, instead I pissed you off
I quit making noise, to hang with the boys
Making excuses, doing things I don't enjoy

Do you always get this nervous in the spring, my dear?
Tell me, is it any easier this year?

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

Uh
What I almost had with you

Four more days 'til we last speak
After a track meet, you're in the front
I'm in the backseat of your best friend's truck
When he turns and he says he's a cold-headed fuck
And I was way too young to realize
It's dead in the winter
It's gone by the springtime
You can just drop me by the stop sign
I know it's cold, I'll be fine
