I still remember The way the evening held us Like it knew We wouldn't have forever There was a silence in the car That neither one of us could break The kind that comes when something beautiful Has already started to fade You were looking through the window I was watching you instead Trying to memorize a life I knew I'd have to leave behind And I wanted to ask you If you felt it too That quiet kind of ending Coming through But some things lose their meaning When you say them out loud So I let the engine carry us And never turned around We were almost forever For a moment, we were more Than two people passing through Each other's lives We were almost forever And I still don't know what hurts The losing you Or knowing I couldn't make you stay I couldn't make you stay I couldn't make you stay The summer kept on burning Like nothing had gone wrong The nights were full of colour But I could feel you slipping on We took pictures in the sunlight I could see it in your eyes You were already somewhere else While I was trying to hold the time If I'd known that night Would be the last of us Would I have held you tighter Would it have been enough Or were we always temporary Just too scared to call it that Some people are a season No matter how you want them back We were almost forever For a moment we were more Than two people passing through Each other's lives We were almost forever And I still don't know what hurts The losing you Or knowing I couldn't make you stay Almost forever Almost forever I still feel you When the summer comes back Almost forever Almost forever I still feel you I still feel you Years from now When the air gets warm again Will I remember your face Or just the way I felt Will a song from that summer Take me back to that road Will I wonder if you think of me When you're driving home alone Because I don't want you back I just want to understand How something can be over And still live inside your hands We were almost forever And maybe that's the cruelest part You can give somebody everything And still not change their heart We were almost forever But forever wasn't ours So I'll carry what was beautiful And leave the rest with the stars Almost forever Almost forever You were the closest I ever came Almost forever Almost forever And I'll love the memory Even when I forget your name The summer ended We did too But sometimes I still drive that road Just to remember Who we were
