The Almost

Can't believe I almost fell for what the voice inside was telling me

I can't believe I almost let intruders win

Can you believe we almost had a taste, and then got thrown back out again?

It's almost like only the opulent stay in

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost

No regrets, no unknowns

How much blood do we give before we're dry?

Did you try?

A lifetime of living in the almost

I came close, fell short, almost became

I almost gave my hand up

There's only one outcome from giving up

It's almost always the same

Trying to hold on to the thrill of the chase

No way out

Of the perpetual race

Feels like I'm losing my mind

Won't stop running

'Cos I'm running out of time

I can't be my own demise

But this might

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost

No regrets, no unknowns

How much blood do we give before we're dry?

Did you try?

A lifetime of living in the almost

I came close, fell short, almost became

I almost gave my hand up

There's only one outcome from giving up

How many times around before the gold is struck?

There's only one outcome from giving up

And when all's said and done

I've got nothing to lose

Nothing to lose

Oh, oh

Got nothing left to lose

So I don't really have to choose

I could play and I might win

Or never play the game again, oh, oh

Never play the game again

Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost

No regrets, no unknowns

How much blood do we give before we're dry?

Did you try?

A lifetime of living in the almost

I came close, fell short, almost became

I almost gave my hand up

Almost gave my, my hand away

But life's the only game I'll play
