[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
You were sharing your headphones once
I learned your favorite song by heart
You talked about leaving this town
I just memorized your scars
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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)
[Chorus]
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
