We Could Have Been

[Verse 1]
We had only one summer
But you weren't mine
All I wanted was you to come along
As if you were mine
The dances, the long nights, empty bottle conversations
The way you would let go of any other obligation

[Pre-Chorus]
September breeze
Enough to blow us apart
Away, away
November means
No more than lovers apart
Oh, we (We, we, we, we, we, we, we)

[Chorus]
We could have been it
Or at least somethin'
We could have been it
And no, this is no love song for you
But I love the things I'm learnin'

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's the soft darkness I adore
And I am a child
Days to swim through bold sadness to the shore
The tides have been wild
The silence of stills like ol' kept memories
And I know I'm not made for stayin' too long on repeat

[Pre-Chorus]
September breeze
Enough to blow us apart
Away, away
November means
No more than lovers apart
Oh, we (We, we, we, we, we, we, we)

[Chorus]
We could have been it
Or at least somethin'
We could have been it
And no, this is no love song for you
But I love the things I'm learnin'

[Outro]
We had only one—
