what i almost had Lyrics by Jeremy Zucker
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 ***, 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
Oh, what I almost had with you
I’m too shy to talk, so we took a walk
Too dumb to make you laugh, instead I *** 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
Oh, what I almost had with you
Four more days till 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 ***
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
