The snow clinging to your collar
pretending time is on our side
Laughter echoes all around us
but I feel the leaving come...
We didn’t say what we wanted,
we said enough to know
Some loves don’t need a witness,
just a qui-et ,
“don’t let go” -
I'm heading back to another world,
but my heart didn’t come along
It’s still riding next to you,
somewhere between.
right -
and wrong
We were almost one in the mountains,
almost free,
almost brave
Just close enough to feel forever,
but too careful to make it ours
I hate how goodbye
finds us honest,
while hello lit up our hearts
Yeah, we were almost everything,
we were almost one -
Before the mountains let us go -
Before the mountains let us go -
I’ve said being next - to you,
felt like coming home
God, I’ve been chasing that feeling,
since the moment you let me go
We kept our hands
to ourselves,
but not our hearts,
not even close -
Every mile back to my world
feels like I’m losing part of me -
I don’t need promises spoken,
I know what your silence means
Some loves live better in waiting,
than dying where they’ve been -
We were almost home in the mountains,
almost truth,
almost forever
Just enough stolen moments,
to blur the yours...
and mine -
I hate how loving you lingers,
long after the cold
Yeah, we were almost everything,
we were almost home -
Before the mountains let us go
Before the mountains let us
go -
Maybe one day the timing,
will quit fighting our truth
Maybe the road will stop asking,
so much of me,
and you...
‘Til then I’ll hold onto pieces
of nights we never claimed -
‘Cause even a love that waits
still knows its name -
We’re still almost home,
my love,
across these stolen years
I'll carry this ache forever,
it's the closest thing I have to you -
So if you’re asking if I’m leaving,
you already know
I’m right where I’ve always been,
still almost home -
Even when the mountains
let us go -
Even when the mountains
let us go -
