Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were laughing in that thrift store aisle
Trying on that jacket two sizes wide
I said it looked wrong
You wore it home
Now it’s folded in my room like a borrowed life
You called late just to talk ‘bout clouds
Said you loved how rain slowed the town down
I almost said “I love you” back then
Swallowed it whole
Now it lives in my chest
[Chorus]
We were almost
Almost didn’t happen
Right words
Wrong time
They just stayed in my mouth
We were so close
To starting what we’re missing now
I keep holding
Holding what could’ve been loud
Love that could’ve made it
Never got a chance to break in the light
We were almost
But almost never learned how to fight
[Verse 2]
Every song on your old playlist hits
Like a photograph I never took of us
Your name still pops up in my phone search
Then I lock the screen
Say it’s just bad luck
You moved out
Found a place near the lake
I heard it from a friend of a friend
You’re probably pouring two cups these days
I’m here rehearsing words I never said
[Chorus]
We were almost
Almost didn’t happen
Right words
Wrong time
They just stayed in my mouth
We were so close
To starting what we’re missing now
I keep holding
Holding what could’ve been loud
Love that could’ve made it
Never got a chance to break in the light
We were almost
But almost never learned how to fight
[Bridge]
If I called you tonight
Would you answer?
Would you laugh
Would you hang
Would you stay?
Would you say you still replay that chapter?
Or say you finally turned the page?
[Chorus]
We were almost
Almost didn’t happen
Right words
Wrong time
They just stayed in my mouth
We were so close
To starting what we’re missing now
I keep holding
Holding what could’ve been loud (so loud)
Love that could’ve made it
Never got a chance to break in the light
We were almost
Now I’m learning how to say goodbye

pop, Moody pop-R&B ballad, male vocals; warm Rhodes keys and soft electronic drums under intimate verses, bass pulsing gently. Chorus widens with lush pads and stacked harmonies, subtle guitar swells and airy percussion. Bridge strips back to vocal and keys, then final chorus blooms with ad-libs and a slightly lifted beat for a bittersweet, cinematic close., nostalgic
