Just Hold Me My Almost Lover

Comfortable as I am - I need your reassurance
And comfortable as you are - You count the days
But if I wanted silence - I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness - I'd choose to go
And if i liked rejection - I'd audition
And if I didn't love you - You would know

And why can't you just hold me - And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken - And why do I still care - still care

You say you see the light now - At the end of this narrow hall
I wish it didn't matter - I wish I didn't give you all
But if I wanted silence - I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness - I'd choose to go
And if i liked rejection - I'd audition
And if I didn't love you - You would know

And why can't you just hold me - And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken - And why do I still care

Poor little misunderstood baby - No one likes a sad face
But I can't remember life without him - I think I did have good days

Why(why) can't you just hold me - And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken - And why do I still care

Your fingertips across my skin - The palm trees swaying in the wind - Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies - The sweetest sadness in your eyes - Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover - Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you - Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance - My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street - You took my hand and danced with me - Images
And when you left you kissed my lips - You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover - Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you - Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance - My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean - I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted - And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover - Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you - Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance - My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
