Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy, Joel and Clementine

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 

Well, I'd 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 have 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 would never
Ever forget these images
No 

Well, I'd 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 have 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'll 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 have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
