Almost Lover 

Artist: A Fine Frenzy 

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'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

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 in the shade

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you would never ever forget these images, no

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

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 try 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?

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Why 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

Almost Lover is a song written and recorded by A Fine Frenzy, the stage name of American singer-songwriter Alison Sudol. It was released May 22, 2007 through Virgin Records as the second single from her debut studio album, One Cell in the Sea (2007). The single failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, but experienced success in Europe, reaching the top 10 in the singles charts of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

Almost Lover 中唱的 hopeless dream、luckless romance、almost lover，让人联想到一部电影的片名He's Just Not That into You (《他没那么爱你》）。

台湾歌手黄小琥的那首《不只是朋友》，唱的也是这种“我”期望朝前一步成了正果而“你”只是驻足不前贪享“我”的陪伴。

不只是朋友

歌手：黄小琥

你身边的女人总是美丽

你追逐的爱情总是游戏

在你的眼里

我是你可以对饮言欢的朋友

你从不吝啬催促我分享你的快乐

你开心的时候总是挥霍

你失意的片刻总是沉默

在你的眼里

我是你可以依靠倾吐的朋友

你从不忘记

提醒我分担你的寂寞

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点温柔的娇纵

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点怎自私的占有

你开心的时候总是挥霍

你失意的片刻总是沉默

在你的眼里

我是你可以依靠倾吐的朋友

你从不忘记

提醒我分担你的寂寞

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点温柔的娇纵

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点怎自私的占有

想做你不变的恋人

想做你一世的牵挂

想做的不只是朋友

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点温柔的娇纵

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点怎自私的占有

你从不知道我想做的不只是朋友

还想有那么一点点温柔的娇纵
