You almost get my jokes but not quite

You almost understand me exactly right

But I'm not looking for an almost

I'm not looking for an almost a man, oh no

And I don't want to be a wall post

Just hanging on to your hand

Almost but not all the way

Almost accept everything you choose not to say

Almost but not all the way

Except that fine dinner you didn't want to pay

Almost, almost, almost but not all the way

You almost make me feel so complete

You almost sweep me off of my clumsy feet

You look at me, you take my hand and I almost free myself, oh no

But there's still that one question I

Cannot get myself to put on the shelf

Almost but not all the way

Almost accept everything you choose not to say

Almost but not all the way

Except that fine dinner you didn't want to pay

Almost, almost, almost but not all the way

Everything but to an extent

You get everything except exactly what I meant

Why can't you just get me?

Why can't you just love me one hundred percent?

Almost but not all the way

Almost accept everything you choose not to say

Almost but not all the way

Except that fine dinner you didn't want to pay

Almost, almost, almost but not all the way

Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost

Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost

Almost, almost, almost but not all the way
