It's almost as if I can't say anything new. Well, I know that can't be true, because of people like you. The one's who started this, and left it up to us. The ones who are gone, but never forgot. Can't forget the things you said. Forever implanted in my head. Don't have to fill any footsteps, or make marks in the sand. I don't have to follow anything, or preach about marks on my hand. The first time I heard your words, I felt so free. It's like the words you were writing, you were writing only for me. Can't forget the things you said. Forever implanted in my head.

[Verse 1]
Can you tell me
How can one miss what she's never had
How could I reminisce when there is no past
How could I have memories of being happy with you boy
Could someone tell me how can this be
How could my mind pull up incidents
Recall dates and times that never happened
How could we celebrate a love that's to late
And how could I really mean the words I'm bout to say
[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
[Verse 2]
I cannot believe I let you go
Or what I should say I shoulda grabbed you up and never let you go
I shoulda went out with you
I shoulda made you my bop boy
Yes that's one time I shoulda broke the rules
I shoulda went on a date
Shoulda found a way to escape
Shoulda turned a almost into
If it happend now its to late
How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real
And if it didn't happen why does my heart feel
[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
[Verse 3]
(sometimes I wanna rub ya, some nights I wanna hug ya)
And you seem to be the perfect one for me
You (some nights I wanna touch ya but tonight I wanna love ya)
You're all that I ever wanted
And you're my everything yes its true
Boy its hard to be close to you
My love
I know it may sound crazy
But I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there (sometimes I wanna rub ya)
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce (but tonight I wanna love ya)
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said its impossible to miss when you never had
Never, never almost had you (but tonight I wanna love ya)

You will never be who I am
You may never see what I can
Probably never be everything you are
We cannot agree on anything
Everything you do is better
Everything you say is right
Anything I do, just won't do
Still you find a way to justify
Negative criticism

I will never be who you are
I may never see what you do
Probably never be just like me
Still cannot agree on anything

We cannot agree on anything
Everything you do is better
Everything you say is right
All we ever do is bitch and fight
Still you find a way to pass the time
Almost always

Almost you fell in love with me almost you gave your heart to me
But the promises you've made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with just your memory
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
[ guitar ]
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
But my dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost

I'd travel oh so far
To be where you are
I'd travel there by car
To be where you are
But if I get there I'd find
That I'd change my mind
It happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Always making statements
And moving step by step
Always acting theories
I will regret
My only consolation
In the things that I've done
Are the people who know me
And the objects I own
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time
To a friend of mine
Happens all the time

Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
[ strings ]
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
But my dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost

Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
[ piano - steel ]
Almost I heard the church bells ring almost I heard the choir sing
But I hear now instead all those unkind words you said
I remember every little thing
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
But dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost

Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry oh how close we were almost
Almost I heard the church bells ring almost I heard the choir sing
But I hear now instead all those unkind words you said I remember every little thing
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
My dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost oh how close we were almost

I almost dialed your number
When I thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long at me
And said "Call me please."
But the place was closing
And the counter girl turned the sign
The cooks were getting their coats and I got mine
And said "Goodnight" to the sea of empty seats.
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm gulf wind
And you've blow into this little port
And roused my dreams again.
I see my mouth moving when I talk to you
I do
I see my lips and I feel like a kid
Who can't keep something hid.
'Cause I've been under the paper
you were writin' on
You left your impression on after you'd gone
marks only I can see
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm gulf wind
And you've blow into this little port
And roused my dreams again.
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again.
I almost dialed your number
When I thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long at me
And said "Call me please."
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm gulf wind
And you've blow into this little port
And roused my dreams again.
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again.
Roused my dreams
Sailor to wind

The sun is setting on the shore
Now this day is done
Got used to you this close to me
And keeping me warm
This sadness keeps me company
As soon as you're gone
All the promises we made
That we never dreamed we'd break
[Chorus:]
I'll forget everything I knew
Almost a perfect life with you
Memories shine and fade away
We were so close, we were almost
Until the darkness turns to light
I'll get through today but not tonight
Almost a perfect life with you
We were so close, we were almost
I know I must move on from here
Don't think of the past
Sometimes there's no amount of love
That can make it last
All the feelings that we shared
That we'll never have again
[Chorus]
So this is me letting you go
And now I've got no one to run to
We'll always know we were so close
We were almost
[Chorus]

I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would've loved me too
I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too
Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we had our problems I can't remember one
I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you [x3]
I almost wish you would've loved me too

I got a wake up call, I got to make this work
Cause if we don't we're left with nothing and that's what hurts
We're so close to giving up but something keeps us here
I can't see what's yet to come
But I have imagined life without you and it feels wrong
I want to know where love begins, not where it ends
Cause we don't know what we're doing
We're just built this way
We're careless but we're trying
Cause we both make mistakes
And I don't want to keep on running
If we're only gonna fall behind
We've almost got it right
But almost wasn't what I had in mind
We want it all and deserve no less
But all we seem to give each other is second best
We're still reaching out for something that we can't touch
Cause we don't know what we're doing
We're just built this way
We're careless but we're trying
Cause we both make mistakes
And I don't want to keep on running
If we're only gonna fall behind
We've almost got it right
But almost wasn't what I had in mind
You know there's nothing like this love
So we don't want to let it go
Cause we don't know what we're doing
We're just built this way
We're careless but we're trying
Cause we both make mistakes
And I don't want to keep on running
If we're only gonna fall behind
We've almost it got right
But almost wasn't what I had in mind

Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn’t count
And never does
Never does
One green light
One more ring of the telephone
One more step
One more second
And I almost
Almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn’t count
And never does
Never does
One hello
Just one kiss before the tears come
One yes
One chance
And I almost
Almost almost almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn’t count
And never does
Never does
One day one year
5,000 weeks
A life of good works and good deeds
Let me be let me be closer
Or let me be
Let me be
Let me be
When I’ve almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn’t count
And never does
Never does
One good guess
A question with an answer that I know
One idea
One grand notion
And I almost
Almost almost almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn’t count
And never does
Never does
Never does
Never does
