We Could Have Been

We had only one summer
But you weren’t mine
All I wanted was you to come along
As if you were mine
The dances the long nights
empty bottle conversations
The way you would let go
Of any other obligations
September breeze enough to blow us apart
Away away
November means no more than lovers apart
Oh we
We could have been it
Or at least something
We could have been it
And no, this is no love song for you
But I love the things I’m learning
Sometimes its the soft darkness I adore
And I am a child
Days to swim through bold sadness to the shore
the tides have been wild
The silence of stills like old kept memories
And I know I’m not made for staying too long on repeat
September breeze enough to blow us apart
Away away
November means no more than lovers apart
Oh we
We could have been it
Or at least something
We could have been it
And no this is no love song for you
But I love the things I’m learning
We had only one summer
