Almost

I almost got drunk at school at fourteen

Where I almost made out with the Homecoming Queen

Who almost went on to be Ms Texas

But lost to a slut with much bigger breast

I almost dropped out to move to LA

Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you

But I guess that doesn't cut it

Almost loved you

I almost wish you would have loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store

Where I almost did five years and then seven more

'Cause I almost got caught for a fight with a thug

'Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs

That I almost got hooked on

'Cause you ran away

And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you

But I guess that doesn't cut it

Almost had you

And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined

To spend my time missing you

I almost wish you would have loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could have done

I'm gonna need a forklift 'cause all the baggage weighs a ton

(Baggage weighs a ton)

I know we had our problems

I can't remember one

I almost forgot to say something else

And if I can't fit it in

I'll keep it all to myself

I almost wrote a song about you today

But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you

But I guess that doesn't cut it

Almost had you

And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined

To spend my time missing you

And I almost had you

Almost had you

I almost wish you would have loved me too

Wish you would have loved me too
