Almost

I got the meal, you spilt your wine

The restaurant's closing, lost track of time

Back at your house now, you say "It's a mess"

But, it's just a stopgap, I take off your dress

We got close, started to feel

Only to leave soon as it's real

We've got so much in common, including the issues

I'll pull away 'cause I know that I'll miss you

That's when it hits me, so suddenly

You were almost the best thing that happened to me

I could pull the car over, got nowhere to be

You could say how you feel, but, you chose something mean

That's when it hits me, so suddenly

You were almost the best thing that happened to me

I'm in New York, we've had some space

You're in the ballgown fresh out the rain

(Silence through the elevator now)

You come up to 305 'cause you hate the noise (You hate the noise)

And your friends are all stood outside talking to boys

And I haven't moved on and you don't get out much

You're still holding me back, it's still me that you trust

We've got so much in common, including the issues

I'll pull away 'cause I know that I'll miss you

That's when it hits me, so suddenly

You were almost the best thing that happened to me

I could pull the car over, got nowhere to be

You could say how you feel, but, you chose something mean

That's when it hits me, so suddenly

You were almost the best thing that happened to me

(Ah-ah)

You can say how you feel (Ah-ah)

But, you chose something mean (Ah-ah)

(Ah-ah)

You come up to 305 'cause you hate the noise

It eats into my lonely nights, hearing your voice

I wonder if we really tried, you'd never be

Almost the best thing that happened to me
