[Verse 1]
He’s got thunder in his chest, but it don’t make a sound
Hands in his pockets, eyes glued to the ground
She’s leaning in close, like she don’t even know
Every inch between them’s putting on a show
Her perfume hits like a late-night sin
And he’s fighting a war he ain’t gonna win
He swears if he moves, it’ll all fall apart
So he just stands there, gripping his heart
[Pre-Chorus]
He could reach, just a little
Close that space in the middle
But his courage keeps running thin…
[Chorus]
He’s almost brave, almost bold
Almost letting his fingers hold
That fire in her skin, that heat in her glow
God, he wants her more than he’ll ever show
His mind’s on fire, his pulse won’t behave
But he freezes right there, just almost brave
Yeah, he burns, but he won’t cave
He’s a good man… just needs to be brave
[Verse 2]
She laughs and it shakes every wall he built
Every glance from her comes loaded with guilt
‘Cause he’s picturing things he won’t let himself do
Like tracing her lips, like pulling her through
His breath gets tight, his body betrays
Every quiet thought he tries to cage
She don’t see the storm behind his eyes
Or how bad he’s losing it every time she walks by
[Pre-Chorus]
He could risk it, just touch her
Let the moment become her
But fear’s got a tighter grip…
[Chorus]
He’s almost brave, almost wild
Almost losing that careful smile
That ache in his hands, that pull in his chest
He’s one heartbeat from giving his best
His soul’s leaning in, but his feet won’t move
Got too much to lose, too much to prove
So he stays in place, playing safe
A hungry man… just almost brave
[Bridge]
And if she knew what he was hiding
All the sparks he’s been denying
Would she close that space instead?
Or leave him haunted in his head?
He ain’t weak, just careful with fire
Trying to outrun his own desire
But damn… the way she breathes him in
Makes him wanna risk everything
[Final Chorus]
He’s almost brave, almost gone
Almost where he’s been all along
Right at the edge of crossing that line
Between restraint and losing his mind
His hands still shake, but they stay in place
While every dream screams in his face
Yeah, he wants… but to nervous to take
A good man breaking…realizing its fate.
