what i almost had

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
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 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
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
