I had one saying "we were done"
一次是在巴吞鲁日一间酒吧里
In a Baton Rouge college bar
她跟我说 “咱俩彻底玩完了”
It kinda came out of nowhere
这话说得有些没有来头
Man, I took that one pretty hard
对我来说是在难以消化
I had another one in another town
另一次是在另一个镇子
And I spent a whole lot of nights missing her
冷战数日 那几天晚上我满脑子都是她
'Til it all went black, she stopped texting back
直到所有希望破灭 她再也没有回短信
And I finally got the picture
那时我才彻底弄清了眼前的形势
Here's to the almost, so close
It's over out of the blues
敬曾经所有的毫厘之近
Here's to the "hey, I think we need to talk"
即使它们都已悲剧收局
And the "it ain't me, it's you"
敬每一次电话里“我们得好好谈谈”
Here's to the tears and beers and wasted years
还有那句“不是我的问题 错全在你”
On the weeds that looked like daisies
敬那些年流的泪 喝的酒 还有四处寻欢的岁月
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
雏菊模样的烟草里 是我荒废的记忆
If it weren't for the almost maybes
而我现在绝不会出现在你身边
(If it weren't for the almost maybes)(
若不是当初那些刚好的可能性
Here's to the one that my family thought
Was gonna make me drop to one knee
若不是当初那些刚好的可能性)
I tried like hell but I couldn't help
My mama loved her more than me
敬当年那个姑娘 我家里人
And to all those July crushes
都觉得我会向她单膝跪地
Turning into September leavings
我在心里排演了无数遍 可始终说不出口
Goodbyes that didn't feel good back then
她深受我家里人欢迎 我妈妈喜欢她甚至多于我
It happened for a real good reason
敬夏日里我那次一见钟情
Here's to the almost, so close
可不出两个月就与她分离
It's over out of the blues
当时我的心里 离别的滋味也是苦涩无比
Here's to the "hey, I think we need to talk"
但总有种种原因 促成了这些事情
And the "it ain't me, it's you"
Here's to the tears and beers and wasted years
敬曾经所有的毫厘之近
On the weeds that looked like daisies
即使它们都已悲剧收局
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
敬每一次电话里“我们得好好谈谈”
If it weren't for the almost maybes
还有那句“不是我的问题 错全在你”
Thank God for the almost maybes
敬那些年流的泪 喝的酒 还有四处寻欢的岁月
Wouldn't be no all-alones
雏菊模样的烟草里 是我荒废的记忆
Wouldn't be no sad songs
而我现在绝不会出现在你身边
Wouldn't be no had-enough, so-pick-yourself-up and get-to-moving-ons
若不是当初那些刚好的可能性
From the didn't-work-outs
The girls next door and them out there crazies
我感恩上苍 创造那些巧合的曾经
There wouldn't be no you and me right now
If it weren't for the almost maybes
不会有我寂寞独处的夜晚
Here's to the almost, so close
不会有那一首首伤感情歌
It's over out of the blues
不会有我重拾生活的信心 向过去作别
Here's to the hey I think we need to talk
淡忘所有未能结果的曾经
And the it ain't me it's you
还有邻家的姑娘 以及令我抓狂的不堪回忆
Here's to the tears and beers and wasted years
当下一定不会有你和我的故事
On the weeds that looked like daisies
若不是当初那些刚好的可能性
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
If it weren't for the almost maybes
敬曾经所有的毫厘之近
If it weren't for the almost maybes
即使它们都已悲剧收局
Thank God for the almost maybes
敬每一次电话里“我们得好好谈谈”
