Almost Maybes

I had one saying we were done

In a Baton Rouge college bar

Kinda 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

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 the, "It ain't me, it's you"

And here's to the tears and beers and wasted years

On the weeds that looked 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 mama loved her more than me

And to all those July crushes

Turning into September leavin's

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 the, "It ain't me, it's you"

And here's to the tears and beers and wasted years

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 (For the almost maybes)

Wouldn't be no all alone's

Wouldn't be no sad songs

Wouldn't be no had enough, pick yourself up and get to moving on's

From the didn't work outs

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

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 the, "It ain't me, it's you's"

And here's to the tears and beers and wasted years

On the weeds that looked like daisies

I wouldn't be sitting here next to you

If it weren't for the almost maybes

Not for the almost maybes

No, it wouldn't be no you and me right now

If it weren't for the almost maybes
