[Verse 1]
You left a ribbon on my wrist
I kept it tied for days
We laughed too loud in borrowed rooms
Then slipped through separate gates
Your name still burns in my phone
Like a match I never strike
I hold your hand in crowded dreams
Then wake up to the night
[Pre-Chorus]
We know the shape of this
We know the end
Two hearts in the window
Tapping on glass again
[Chorus]
We were almost there
Almost there
(Almost there)
You and me
We were almost there
Almost there
But not meant to be
I still call your name
In the dark, in the dark
We were almost there
Now we're falling apart
[Verse 2]
Your lipstick on my cup
My sweater on your chair
The world keeps asking both of us
Why we still stay there
Your mother sees the photos
Mine pretends not to know
We talk in codes and parking lots
Then let the cold wind blow
[Pre-Chorus]
We know the shape of this
We know the end
Two hearts in the window
Tapping on glass again
[Chorus]
We were almost there
Almost there
(Almost there)
You and me
We were almost there
Almost there
But not meant to be
I still call your name
In the dark, in the dark
We were almost there
Now we're falling apart
[Bridge]
If love was a city
We lived on the border
Close enough to see it
Too far to cross over
I’d choose you again
Even knowing the scar
Two girls in love
With a shattered star
[Final Chorus]
We were almost there
Almost there
(Almost there)
You and me
We were almost there
Almost there
But not meant to be
I still call your name
In the dark, in the dark
We were almost there
And it breaks my heart
