almost lover

your fingertips across my skin

the palm trees swayin' in the wind

images

you sang me spanish lullabies

the sweetest sadness in your eyes

clever trick

i never want to see you unhappy

i thought you'd want the same

for me

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

should've known you'd bring me heartache

almost lovers always do

we walked along a crowded street

you took my hand and danced with me

images

and when you left you kissed my lips

you told me you'd never ever forget these

images

no

but i never want to see you unhappy

i thought you'd want the same

for me

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

should've 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 now you're gone and i'm haunted

and i bet you're just fine

did i make it that easy

to walk right in and out of my life

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

should've known you'd bring me heartache

almost lovers always do
