[Verse 1 - Female]
You were leaning on my doorway
Laughing like we had all night
Shirt sleeves rolled and your eyes on me
I kept tracing every line
You said
"Guess I should get going"
I said
"Yeah
It's getting late"
Heart was burning through my ribcage
But the words jammed at the gate
[Pre-Chorus - Female]
I practiced every line in my mirror
But I swallowed every one when you're nearer
How did we walk that close
That near
And never cross that border?
[Chorus - Female]
Almost said it
Almost called you mine
Tongue-tied
Standing on the border line
We were right there
Dancing on the edge
Now it's just your name
Your name in my head
Replay
Replay
What we almost said
Replay
Replay
What we almost said
[Verse 2 - Male]
You were sitting on my counter
Bare feet swinging
Stealing fries
You kept brushing off your own jokes
But they lit up both my sides
You said
"Promise you won't miss me"
When you moved across the town
I just laughed and said I'd visit
While my real words drowned
[Pre-Chorus - Male]
I held back every truth I was feeling
Talked cool while my chest hit the ceiling
How were we face to face
That near
And never cross that border?
[Chorus]
[Bridge - Duet]
[low vocal register] You in my passenger seat
Midnight glow
[high harmony] Me in your hoodie
Didn't let it show
[Female] All those almosts
[Male] All those what-ifs
[Both] Living rent-free in our heads like this
[Female] If I call you now
Would it sound strange?
[Male] If I pull up late
Is it too late to change?
[Both
[crescendo]] Or are we both still
Still on that edge?
[Chorus - Duet]
