This song reflects on a lifelong friendship that briefly crossed into love, only to be undone by fear, silence, and hesitation. It captures the quiet regret of realizing too late that the deepest connection was already there, leaving both hearts wondering what might have been.

Song Lyrics

×
(Strophe)
We spent half our lives just chasin' ghosts.
Holdin' onto dreams we never chose.
Built up hopes outta songs and smoke.
Watched 'em fade as the years rolled slow.

We were always close, side by side.
Laughin' loud just to feel alive.
Never thought love was hidin' near.
Blind to the truth that we stood right here.


(Refrain)
Now we don't talk like we used to do.
Since that night with the whiskey truth.
One small kiss and the world turned strange.
Two soft hearts too scared to change.

Could've been the one - yeah, we both knew.
But silence grew where the wild love bloomed.
Now we walk alone when the day is done
Thinkin' we could've been the one.


(Strophe)
We laughed too hard at that biker bar.
Barroom lights and a beat-up old guitar.
One more round and the night slipped tight.
Next thing we knew, hands tangled in the light.

Didn't make a plan, didn't try too hard.
It just felt real in each other's arms.
But come the dawn, everything froze.
No one said what we both still know.


(Refrain)
Now we don't talk like we used to do.
Since that night with the whiskey truth.
One small kiss and the world turned strange.
Two soft hearts too scared to change.

Could've been the one - yeah, we both knew.
But silence grew where the wild love bloomed.
Now we walk alone when the day is done
Thinkin' we could've been the one.


(Strophe)
We drifted off in our own new ways.
Tryin' to fix what we couldn't say.
Tellin' friends that we're doin' fine.
But every night we cross each other's minds.

Maybe love ain't a thing you plan.
It slips right out of the strongest hands.
If we could go back to that night again.
We'd speak the truth instead of lettin' it end.


(Refrain)
Now we don't talk like we used to do.
Since that night with the whiskey truth.
One small kiss and the world turned strange.
Two soft hearts too scared to change.

Could've been the one - yeah, we both knew.
But silence grew where the wild love bloomed.
Now we walk alone when the day is done
Thinkin' we could've been the one.
