Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You called me up at 2 AM

Said

"Are you up?" like that meant "come over"

I knew exactly what you'd send

Pinned location

Half-done closure

You said his jacket’s on your chair

But his toothbrush been gone for a minute

You always leave the door half-open

Just enough space for me to slip in

[Pre-Chorus]

You pour that cheap red in my glass

Say you "shouldn’t

" then you laugh

Every time you swear you’ll draw a line

You trace my name on your thigh

[Chorus]

You were almost mine

In the kitchen light

On the countertop

Yeah

Breath on your spine

Saying "this the last time

" we both know it’s not

Yeah (oh no)

You taste like someone I can’t write in a song

Like I only get your body when your heart’s all wrong

You’re his by day

In my hands some nights

Always halfway

Always almost mine (almost mine)

[Verse 2]

You keep your necklace in my car

Say it’s "just in case" you catch a ride

You know I'll bring it when you call

Every favor just another tie

You talk about the house you'll buy

With a fence

With a dog

With him someday

But your fingers tangle into mine

When the credits roll and the lights fade

[Pre-Chorus]

You say you hate the way this feels

But you love the way this feels

You turn away when our eyes align

Still pull me closer every time (every time)

[Chorus]

You were almost mine

On your parents’ couch

With the volume low

Yeah

Hands intertwined

You saying "we’re just friends

" but your body don’t know

Yeah (mm)

You talk about a future where I don't belong

Then you press your guilty mouth right over my wrongs

You’re his in pictures

You’re blurred in my mind

Never all in

Just almost mine (almost mine)

[Bridge]

Tell me

Do you see me

When you’re lying on his chest? (oh)

Do you hear me breathing

When you’re trying to forget?

Do you save a little space

At the edge of your regret? (yeah)

For the what-ifs

For the missed calls

For the almost that we never let rest

[Breakdown]

[Vocals drop to a hush

Sparse Rhodes chords]

You said

"Don’t fall in love with me"

But you keep falling halfway back

You leave your heart across the street

Bring your body to my lap (oh)

I’m the secret that you keep

When you can’t sleep

When you relapse

You say

"He don’t really know me"

But you won’t ever let me have

[Chorus]

You were almost mine

On the backseat ride

In the parking lot haze

Crossed one line

Then we crossed it twice

Now we’re lost in the maze (lost in it)

You’re building up a life where I’m left off-page

But you call when you’re alone and you need that escape

You’re his in daylight

In my mouth some nights

Always halfway

Always almost mine (almost mine, yeah)

[Outro]

[Beat thins

Just chords and layered harmonies]

Almost mine

That’s all you’ll ever let me be (oh)

Almost mine

You keep the rest of you from me

Almost mine

You whisper "wish we’d met in time" (in time)

But you turn off all the lights

Leave me holding what’s left

Of almost mine (almost mine, almost mine)
