[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

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 comin' over, little lights in the yard

[Chorus]

And dammit, 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

[Verse 3]

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

A little girl out the window, could hear her laughin' out there

[Chorus]

And dammit, 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

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

[Bridge]

Now I'm drivin' away, thinkin', "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)

[Outro]

Ooh

Honestly, I still don't understand it

Thinkin' how good we coulda had it

We coulda had it

Dammit
