Almost

Rain on the windshield, the engine running slow
You said you should leave but you didn't go
Two feet and a heartbeat, a doorway, a pause
I would've if you would've, but almost never was

Every maybe felt like a door
Every quiet held your name
One small yes and we'd have been more
But we let it slip away

Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed
Almost everything, almost unafraid
We were almost, so almost, one heartbeat away
Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed

There's a version of us where I turned around
Where I made the call, where I stood my ground
Now you're just a "what if" I replay at night
The one that I almost got right

Every maybe felt like a door
Every quiet held your name
One small yes and we'd have been more
But we let it slip away

Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed
Almost everything, almost unafraid
We were almost, so almost, one heartbeat away
Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed

Maybe in another life
We didn't hesitate
We ran back through the rain
Before it got too late
But here I'm still standing
In the space where you would stay
Almost, almost, almost

Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed
Almost everything, almost unafraid
We were almost, so almost, one heartbeat away
Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed

Almost kissed, almost called, almost stayed
