Almost Lost You Already

[Verse 1]
Met you on a late one
Laughing by the bathroom line
You were tracing circles
On the label of your wine
You said
“I should be somewhere”
But you didn’t say where
I said
“I could walk you”
You were halfway down the stairs
[Pre-Chorus]
Why am I scared of a maybe
Why do you feel like a memory
You’re right here in my arms
Still slipping through me
[Chorus]
I’m feeling like I lost you already
Like I’m late to the moment we’re in
Every time I get close
You’re unsteady
You fade like the smoke on my skin
Girl
I’m reaching
Reaching
For something that I never had
I’m feeling like I lost you already
And that hurts worse than losing you bad (oh)
[Verse 2]
You talk about your first love
Eyes go somewhere I can’t see
I joke about my heartbreaks
You just smile politely
Your phone lights up your cheekbones
Name I don’t dare read
You say
“It’s complicated”
Then you lean back into me
[Pre-Chorus]
Why am I scared of a maybe
Why do you feel like a memory
You’re right here in my arms
Still slipping through me
[Chorus]
I’m feeling like I lost you already
Like I’m late to the moment we’re in
Every time I get close
You’re unsteady
You fade like the smoke on my skin
Girl
I’m reaching
Reaching
For something that I never had
I’m feeling like I lost you already
And that hurts worse than losing you bad
[Bridge]
If I say “stay
” would you run
If I say “go
” would you haunt me
Stuck in the space in your heartbeat
Where you almost want me (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m feeling like I lost you already
Like the night when they turn on the lights
Every second I wait feels heavy
Like I’m chasing what’s gone from sight
Girl
I’m reaching
Reaching
For something that we never had
I’m feeling like I lost you already
And I don’t know if I should be this sad

Shuffling UK speed garage groove with swung drums, rubbery sub, and chopped organ stabs; male vocals sit upfront, intimate and restless, with airy pad swells in the pre-chorus and a euphoric, stacked-hook chorus that rides a filtered bass drop and bright house chords, romantic, male vocals, speed garage
