Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You call me up When the night runs long Say you need my laugh Say you love my songs You lay your head On my shoulder Just to breathe But when the sun comes up You never stay with me [Chorus] I'm almost the one But I'm not the one you choose I'm the hand you hold When you're scared you're gonna lose I'm the place you run When your world comes unglued I'm almost the one you want But never the one who gets you [Verse 2] I know her name From your coffee cup You stir that sugar Like you're stirring us up You say it's complicated You say "give it time" But my heart's on layaway And the bill's all mine [Chorus] I'm almost the one But I'm not the one you choose I'm the hand you hold When you're scared you're gonna lose I'm the place you run When your world comes unglued I'm almost the one you want But never the one who gets you [Bridge] How do you kiss me like that Then go home to someone else Tell me I'm your secret Like that's something I can wear I keep making room In a life you never move into Every night I lose a little more Pretending this is enough with you (oh) [Chorus] I'm almost the one But I'm not the one you choose I'm the hand you hold When you're scared you're gonna lose I'm the place you run When your world comes unglued I'm almost the one you want But never the one who gets you Yeah I'm almost the one you love But never the one you prove

Slow burning modern blues ballad with female vocals; dusty electric piano and tremolo guitar trading fills over a lazy shuffle groove, brushed snare and warm upright bass. Verses stay intimate and hushed, vocal right up on the mic; chorus swells with organ pad, stacked harmonies, and a touch of reverb bloom. Bridge leans into a raw, cracked vocal moment while the band drops back, then returns with a final, aching chorus and held guitar bends., blues
