I had one say we were done in a Baton Rouge college ball.
It kind of came out of nowhere, man,
I took that one pretty hard.
I had another one in another town,
and I spent a whole lot of nights missing her
till it all went black.
She stopped texting back and I finally got the picture.
So here's to the almost,
so close, it's over out of the blues.
Here's to the hey,
I think we need to talk and it ain't me it's you.
And here's to the tears and beers and wasted
years on the weeds that look like daisies.
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
if it weren't for the almost maybes.
Here's to the one that my family thought
was gonna make me drop to one knee.
And I tried like hell but I couldn't help my mom,
I loved her more than me.
And to all those July crushes turning into September evenings.
Goodbyes that didn't feel good back then,
it happened for a real good reason.
Here's to the almost,
so close, it's over out of the blues.
Here's to the hey,
I think we need to talk and it ain't me it's you.
And here's to the tears and beers and wasted
years on the weeds that look like daisies.
I wouldn't be sitting here next to you
if it weren't for the almost maybes.
It's not for the almost maybes.
Yeah, the almost maybes.
Wouldn't be no sad songs,
wouldn't be no had enough,
pick yourself up and get to moving on.
From the didn't work out,
the girls next door and the batshit crazies.
There wouldn't be no you and me right
now if it weren't for the almost maybes.

No,
we wouldn't be no you and me right now
if it weren't for the almost maybes.
