Whatever That Was Lyrics by James Dupré

Stoned to Death

2016

[Verse 1]
Last time we were in this town
We were fresh out of those caps and gowns
On long pine loop, riding around
Putting goodbye off, trying not to get too heavy
Drinking warm beer on the levy
If I'd of tried you would've let me
But all we did was talk
[Chorus]
Never quite lovers but more than friends
Maybe that's the best thing we could've been
Cause what never starts never has to end
Girl, you look as good as you did back then
We're standing just as close as we ever did
Laughing and falling right back in
To whatever that was, whatever that was again
[Verse 2]
You've got someone back in Austin
I've got someone but we ain't talking
Here we are on main street
Walking back down memory lane
I hold your car door open
Hold on tight for one long moment
But we both know where this ain't going
Guess some things will never change
[Chorus]
Never quite lovers but more than friends
Maybe that's the best thing we could've been
Cause what never starts never has to end
Girl, you look as good as you did back then
We're standing just as close as we ever did
Laughing and falling right back in
To whatever that was, whatever that was again
[Chorus]
Never quite lovers but more than friends
Maybe that's the best thing we could've been
Cause what never starts never has to end
Girl, you look as good as you did back then
We're standing just as close as we ever did
Laughing and falling right back in
To whatever that was, whatever that was again
