Lyrics

I've been driving these backroads, thinking 'bout you
The way your smile lights up a room
We were young, wild, and free, chasing dreams
But life has a way of changing things it seems

I was close to falling, now our love is lost
Chasing what I thought was worth the cost
But every time I look back, it’s clear
I was so close having you here

so close to holding your hand
dreaming of the life we planned
But time and fate, they steered us apart
Now time is breaking my heart

thinking 'bout what could have been
missing you all over again
In a world of almosts and could’ve-beens
im still loving you, my friend

Saw your face in an old photograph
We were laughing, walking the same path
The years have gone by, but the feeling's the same
I still hear your voice whispering my name

holding on, thinking about what was left behind
But the memory of you keeps haunting my mind
Every night when I look in the mirror
I see the love in my eyes, much clearer

so close to holding your hand
dreaming of the life we planned
But time and fate, they steered us apart
Now time is breaking my heart

thinking 'bout what could have been
missing you all over again
In a world of almosts and could’ve-beens
im still loving you, my friend

Sometimes life is a game of almosts and damn nears
Full of laughter and so many tears
If I could turn back the hands of time
I’d marry you and make you forever mine

so close to holding your hand
dreaming of the life we planned
But time and fate, they steered us apart
Now time is breaking my heart

thinking 'bout what could have been
missing you all over again
In a world of almosts and could’ve-beens
im still loving you, my friend

dreaming of living a life with you
wishing my fantasy would come true
In this heart of mine, you'll always be near
I will always remember you, with each tear

We were so close to paradise
damn near
