Song: Almost Lover By A Fine Frenzy


Our fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I could still feel the warmth of his hands on my skin. The coolness of the wind as the tree swayed. The soothing sound of his voice as he hummed. His eye. God his eyes.

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

You listened when I talked to you about the past. The past failures. You promised I wouldn't feel that pain.

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

I always got mad when he'd pull me to his side to dance. But the memories were always so sweet. His kisses always left me waiting his return. I would always smile when he left, when he'd always say over his shoulder with a grin that he wouldn't forget.

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

You promised. You knew I agreed it should end because I hated the way your eyes looked. But you forgot.

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I'll bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk
Right in and out of my life

Do you remember us? Our dances. Our songs. Sometimes I wonder where you are. If you're okay. Maybe I'll get the courage to talk with you again.

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I suppose not all stories are lucky. Not all dreams get to come true. I wish ours did. I wish you hadn't left. But almost lovers wasn't enough. Looking back I should have expected it. My life was never the best. Being a nation is never easy. The pain that goes with it. I suppose I should have known.
