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)

Slow-burning R&B ballad with male vocals, close-mic intimacy. Minimal Rhodes and warm sub bass in the verses, snap-heavy groove creeping in by the first hook. Choruses bloom with layered harmonies and airy ad-libs. Second half adds soft pads and filtered drums for a late-night swirl, ending on a stripped, confessional outro hook., r&b
