[Verse 1] I walked past your shadow on a street I don’t remember Same city breathing us in You laughed somewhere behind a wall of noise and weather I felt it, didn’t know where you’d been I was late to a train that left without me You were early, standing one car down Every night I thought that something was missing Guess we were close, just not around [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the world keeps secrets Till the second you slow it down Every step I took was leading To the moment I turned around [Chorus] We were almost something a thousand times Same stars, different skies Every “not yet”, every wrong goodbye Was just time passing by One breath, one look, one hello And suddenly everything aligned We were almost everything all our lives Till you were mine [Verse 2] You cried on a night I was wide awake Staring holes in the ceiling alone We were learning all the same mistakes Just on different roads back home I kissed all the wrong reasons You waited for something real All the love I thought I wasted Was just teaching me how this should feel [Pre-Chorus] If I’d stayed, if you’d left If I’d blinked, if you’d gone This forever disappears On a second too long [Chorus] We were almost something a thousand times Passing close but never colliding Every heartbreak drew a perfect line Straight to the night you arrived One word, one smile, one slow turn And the universe changed its mind We were almost everything all our lives Till you were mine [Bridge (drop everything here — cinematic)] All the nights I thought I missed you I just hadn’t met you yet Every door that slammed shut Was protecting this instead If fate’s just timing with a heartbeat Then it waited till we were ready ‘Cause love didn’t find us screaming It found us steady [Final Chorus (bigger, lifted)] We were almost something a thousand times Now I know the reason why Every almost had to survive So this could feel this right One moment, nothing loud Just your hand finding mine We were almost everything all our lives Till the stars fell in line [Outro] Funny how forever Starts with staying five more minutes I was almost gone But I didn’t miss it
