Almost Yours

Intro

There you are across the room

Like a light I can’t get to

Every time you look my way

I forget what I should say

Verse 1

I’ve been chasing perfect moments

Trying to hold what disappears

Every road keeps turning nowhere

Every hope becomes a fear

You don’t know how long I’ve waited

You don’t know what you became

You’re the thought I wake up holding

You’re the whisper in my name

Pre-Chorus

Maybe in another lifetime

Maybe in another place

I’d be standing there beside you

Instead of dreaming of your face

Chorus

You’re everything I ever wanted

Everything I cannot keep

You’re the song inside the silence

You’re the reason I can’t sleep

So close that I can almost touch you

So far you’ll never know

You’re the perfect love I can’t have

And I can’t let you go

Verse 2

Everybody says I’ll find someone

Someone easier to love

But they don’t know the way you found me

Or why you’re never quite enough

I can smile and keep pretending

I can say I’m doing fine

But every road that leads away from you

Still brings you back to mind

Pre-Chorus

Maybe in another lifetime

Maybe when the stars align

You would turn around and see me

And your hand would reach for mine

Chorus

You’re everything I ever wanted

Everything I cannot keep

You’re the song inside the silence

You’re the reason I can’t sleep

So close that I can almost touch you

So far you’ll never know

You’re the perfect love I can’t have

And I can’t let you go

Bridge

If loving you means losing you

Why does losing hurt this way?

If I was never meant to hold you

Why did you feel like home that day?

Maybe some hearts meet too early

Maybe some meet far too late

Maybe you were meant to change me

Not to stay

Final Chorus

You’re everything I ever wanted

Everything I’ll always miss

You’re the dream I keep returning to

The life that won’t exist

So close that I can almost touch you

So far I’ll never know

You’re the perfect love I can’t have

But I still can’t let you go

Outro

Maybe in another lifetime

I’ll find you before goodbye

Maybe there I’ll get to love you

Instead of loving you from the other side
