Almost Had You

You were hair in my hoodie string

Ink on the back of my hand

Laughing too loud in the hallway

Out of reach

Right where you stand

I almost had you

In the space between my lungs and what I say

You almost knew me

In the way your eyes hung on me

Then looked away

Every version of us lives in my head

Thinking ’bout a girl I could never get

You were sharing your headphones once

I learned your favorite song by heart

You talked about leaving this town

I just memorized your scars

I almost had you

In the stories that I told you

Half pretend

You almost chose me

In the way you held my name and called me “friend”

Every version of us lives in my head

Thinking ’bout a girl I could never get

You’re kissing someone in a kitchen

I’m scrolling past it in the dark

You’ll never know every timeline

Where you turned around in that park (oh)

I almost had you

In a life where I said something

Took the risk

You almost loved me

In a dream where you lean in and we don’t miss

Every version of us

I can’t forget

Thinking ’bout a girl I could never get
