Almost Your Love

[Verse 1]
You call me up
When the rain starts fallin'
Say you hate that room
And the way it's always talkin'
I make you laugh
'Til the clouds turn cotton
But when the storm is over
I'm the first name forgotten
[Chorus]
I'm in love
But I'm not the one
I'm your almost
Your "when the day is done"
I'm the hand you hold
'Til the hurt lets up
I'm your safe place
Baby
But I'm almost your love
Almost your love
[Verse 2]
You leave your coat
On the chair in my kitchen
You say this feels like home
But you keep your distance
You trace my face
With a look you don't finish
Like a word on your tongue
That you never quite mention
[Chorus]
I'm in love
But I'm not the one
I'm your almost
Your "when the day is done"
I'm the hand you hold
'Til the hurt lets up
I'm your safe place
Baby
But I'm almost your love
Almost your love
[Bridge]
How do you sleep so easy
Sprawled across my side of the bed (mm-hmm)
How do you kiss so sweetly
Then say her name in your head
Tell me
Is there a world
Where I get the daylight too? (oh)
Or am I forever
Just a hiding place for you
[Chorus]
I'm in love
But I'm not the one
I'm your almost
Your "when the day is done"
I'm the hand you hold
'Til the hurt lets up
I'm your safe place
Baby
But I'm almost your love
[Outro]
You say
"Don't change
I need you so much"
But you pull away when I ask for too much
So I'll pour your coffee
And I'll pour my cup
To the girl in your arms
And the one that's almost your love
Almost your love (yeah)

pop, Smoky modern blues-pop, female vocals. Clean tremolo guitar and warm Rhodes piano over a slow, swinging backbeat. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and subtle bass; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, organ swells, and a touch of reverb. Middle section pulls drums down for a hushed bridge, then returns with a stronger groove and ad-libbed runs on the final hook., blues
