Almost Maybes

I had one saying 'we were done'
一次是在巴吞魯日一間酒吧里
In a Baton Rouge college bar
她跟我說“咱倆徹底玩完了”
It kinda came out of nowhere
這話說得有些沒有來頭
Man, I took that one pretty hard
對我來說是在難以消化
I had another one in another town
另一次是在另一個鎮子
And I spent a whole lot of nights missing her
冷戰數日那幾天晚上我滿腦子都是她
'Til it all went black, she stopped texting back
直到所有希望破滅她再也沒有回短信
And I finally got the picture
那時我才徹底弄清了眼前的形勢

敬曾經所有的毫釐之近
Here's to the almost, so close
即使它們都已悲劇收局
It's over out of the blues
敬每一次電話裡“我們得好好談談”
Here's to the 'hey , I think we need to talk'
還有那句“不是我的問題錯全在你”
And the 'it ain't me, it's you'
敬那些年流的淚喝的酒還有四處尋歡的歲月
Here's to the tears and beers and wasted years
雛菊模樣的煙草里是我荒廢的記憶
On the weeds that looked like daisies
而我現在絕不會出現在你身邊
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
若不是當初那些剛好的可能性
If it weren't for the almost maybes
敬當年那個姑娘我家里人

都覺得我會向她單膝跪地
Here's to the one that my family thought
我在心裡排演了無數遍可始終說不出口
Was gonna make me drop to one knee
她深受我家里人歡迎我媽媽喜歡她甚至多於我
And I tried like hell but I couldn't help
敬夏日里我那次一見鍾情
My mama loved her more than me
可不出兩個月就與她分離
And to all those July crushes
當時我的心裡離別的滋味也是苦澀無比
Turning into September leavin's
但總有種種原因促成了這些事情
Goodbyes that didn't feel good back then
敬曾經所有的毫釐之近
It happened for a real good reason
即使它們都已悲劇收局

敬每一次電話裡“我們得好好談談”
Here's to the almost, so close
還有那句“不是我的問題錯全在你”
It's over out of the blues
敬那些年流的淚喝的酒還有四處尋歡的歲月
Here's to the 'hey, I think we need to talk'
雛菊模樣的煙草裡是我荒廢的記憶
And the 'it ain't me, it's you'
而我現在絕不會出現在你身邊
Here's to the tears and beers and wasted years
若不是當初那些剛好的可能性
On the weeds that looked like daisies
如果我沒有體驗這般曲折經歷
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
不會有我寂寞獨處的夜晚
If it weren't for the almost maybes
不會有那一首首傷感情歌

不會有我重拾生活的信心向過去作別
If not for the almost maybes
淡忘所有未能結果的曾經

讓我為止抓狂的不堪回憶
Wouldn't be no all-alones
當下一定不會有你和我的故事
Wouldn't be no sad songs
若不是當初那些剛好的可能性
Wouldn't be no had-enough, pick-yourself-up and get-to-moving-ons
敬曾經所有的毫釐之近
From the didn't-work-outs
即使它們都已悲劇收局
The girls next door and the bat shit crazies
敬每一次電話裡“我們得好好談談”
There wouldn't be no you and me right now
還有那句“不是我的問題錯全在你”
If it weren't for the almost maybes
敬那些年流的淚喝的酒還有四處尋歡的歲月

雛菊模樣的煙草里是我荒廢的記憶
Here's to the almost, so close
而我現在絕不會出現在你身邊
It's over out of the blues
若不是當初那些剛好的可能性
Here's to the hey I think we need to talk
如果我沒有體驗這般曲折經歷
And the it ain't me it's you
當下一定不會有你和我的故事
Here's to the tears and beers and wasted years
若不是當初那些剛好的可能性
On the weeds that looked like daisies
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
If it weren't for the almost maybes

If not for the almost maybes

No it wouldn't be no you and me right now
If it weren't for the almost maybes
