Always Almost

Met you when, the world felt small

The late-night talks, the after-calls

Autumn leaves, hotel keys and pockets

Full of empty dreams

On again, we go on again

I can see it in your eyes before you sleep

In a tide that comes and goes

I will always almost

Be the only one

Lay me on clouds, oh, I've never been so high

Be the only one

I'll still be here gleaming

Your tricks I'll believe 'em

I'll always

I'll be always, always almost

Tell me why

I feel much less than what you say

I truly am

'Cause on again, we go on again

I still see it in your eyes before you sleep

In a tide that comes and goes

I will always almost

Be the only one

Lay me on clouds, oh, I've never been so high

Be the only one

I'll still be here gleaming

Your tricks I'll believe 'em

I'll always

I'll be always, always almost

And I'll dance and I'll dance till I'm tired

Be the puppet on the strings tied to your fingers

But not all fights are meant to be won

I'll never make it, I try and I try

These tears will fall and they'll never dry, why

Be the only one

Lay me on clouds, oh, I've never been so high

Be the only one

I'll still be here gleaming

Your tricks I'll believe 'em

I'll always

I'll be always, always almost
