  • I was drivin' to town and I passed by a house
    The one with pillars on the porch
    Had a sign on the door said "for sale"
    So what the hell

    I walked in, and sat down on some stranger's couch
    Solid oak hardwood floors
    Didn't need to see more
    'Cause I could hear you in the kitchen
    Playin' your guitar
    All our friends coming over
    Little lights in the yard

    Dammit
    Didn't we almost have it?
    Honestly, I still don't understand it
    We used to love to sit and talk and wish
    And picture and plan it
    Man, now I just dammit

    I think the owners could tell I was lost in myself
    So they left me alone, said "make yourself right at home"
    I was already makin' dinner
    Callin' you down the stairs
    Little girl out the window
    Hear her laughin' out there

    Dammit
    Didn't we almost have it?
    Honestly, I still don't understand it
    We used to love to sit and talk and wish
    And picture and plan it
    Man now, I just dammit

    Baby, didn't we almost have it?
    Honestly, I still don't understand it
    We used to love to sit, talk and wish
    And picture and plan it
    Man, now I just dammit

    Now I'm driving away
    Thinking oh, what a shame
    You can pray, you can hope
    But, you just never know
    I guess that two bedroom picket fence magic
    Can't ever be ours now, can it?
    (Dammit)

    Ooh
    Honestly, I still don't understand it
    Thinking how could we, coulda' had it
    We coulda' had it
