Stopped winding, the clock

Or watching the watch

We could have been contenders now

But for those almost's and not's

Down a waterfall of nearly's, were carried to the coast

Almost, almost

Ghosting round town since they put us down

When things went too far we went underground

Till later my nerves, took me down

My regrets tattooed, turn off the news

How far do you think it is to fall?

Maybe I'll send you a rose

Almost, almost

Almost, almost

15 seconds of fame

That's what you've got

Till all those ticking clocks

Get stuck and froze

Almost, almost

Almost, almost
