Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, ever forget
These images [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/a_fine_frenzy/almost_lover.html ]
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Heartbreak. Someone she loved has walked away, or possibly even died. My interpretation was that they died... But ya' never know.

She's talking about how close she was with someone, only for that person to break away from her, hence (almost lover). They were so close to defining love. Now she's realized that she no longer has this person in her grasp for whatever reason that may be and she is heart broken. This person is constantly on her mind day and night, and eventually she realizes that she needs to "get over herself" hence, (goodbye, my almost lover). She accepts the fact that she was so close yet still so far away from love.

You know when you meet that one person and you think that nothing exists with out them and they tell you all this stuff and you just cant help but believe them... But then some one else pops up in thier life and you just sit in your room and cry for ever.. Well almost lover is when you finally relise that the perosn dosent have that hold on you anymore and you can break free or at lease to me thats what it means.

Well this song might just be looked from a girls perspective but it simply befits the other way aswell... There are so many instances in life that may be apt for this song but personally i believe this 'almost lover'is once in a lifetime thing... And the wounds it leaves behind are much deeper than those caused by lovers...
It is about a girl who thought that she and his loved ones could be more than friends.suddenly,the boy doesn't like the girl that much as the girl loves him... And she thought that he could be mr. Right.. After that shes hoping not to be hurt next time.. She even thought that her loved boy will not hurt her but it came out to be that she is hurt like what other almost lover do to the one who loved them trully.. Well the equation is love=hurt
this is #5 on my breakup playlist... Wenever i hav a terrible breakup i listen to the playlist all day
