Blue lights. Bar stool. Me and you. Same old fool. Two hearts. One room. Different paths. Coming soon.

We’re almost... something. Right at the wrong time. I’d catch you... falling. Even if you’re not mine. You went East, I went West. Still, I wish you the best.

We’re always almost something Always one wrong turn from right I’d cover you in a heartbeat You’d talk me through the hardest nights But your life went east, mine headed west We’re tangled up in all the rest So we just keep on being almost always

You’re standing by the bar with someone new I’m here with friends pretending not to notice you We’ve gotten good at this dance over the years Two people in the same room acting like we’re nowhere near

And I know your tells, the way you shift your weight When you’re uncomfortable but staying anyway You catch my eye and there it is again That look that says everything we never say out loud

We’re always almost something Always one wrong turn from right I’d cover you in a heartbeat You’d talk me through the hardest nights But your life went east, mine headed west We’re tangled up in all the rest So we just keep on being almost always

I heard you bought that house out past the county line Settled down the way we talked about that one time And I’m still renting, chasing what I can\'t define We built our lives on different foundations, different designs

But when my world shakes you’re still the first call I’d make And you still save my seat at every birthday, every wedding date We protect what this is, what it isn\'t, what it can\'t become The closest thing to love without ever saying the words

We’re always almost something Always one wrong turn from right I’d cover you in a heartbeat You’d talk me through the hardest nights But your life went east, mine headed west We’re tangled up in all the rest So we just keep on being Almost always

Maybe in another life we got the timing right Maybe there’s a version where we didn’t just survive But I’d rather have you this way than not at all Even if it means I watch you from across the hall

We’re always almost something Always one wrong turn from right I’d cover you in a heartbeat You’d talk me through the hardest nights Your life went east, mine headed west We chose different, not second best So we just keep on being Almost always

Yeah we just keep on being Almost always
