ALMOST AGAIN

[Verse 1 – Female] I saw your name light up my screen And time went strange, and soft, and mean One simple “hey” at 2AM And all the walls came down again I told myself I closed that door I swore I didn’t need you more But one small word from you can turn A finished page to something burned [Verse 2 – Male] I stared at that same text for days Rewrote my heart in safer ways But every version felt too late Too small to hold what still remained You said “I’m fine,” I knew that tone The one that means “I’m not alone” In all this hurt, in all this pride I still kept you just out of sight [Pre-Chorus – Both] We’re not lovers now But not nothing too There’s a line between Me and you And every time we try to leave It pulls us back so easily [Chorus – Both] We’re almost again Almost back in each other’s hands Almost a kiss Almost a chance Almost the fire, almost the fall Almost enough to risk it all We keep touching the edge of when We were us, we’re almost again [Verse 3 – Female] I know your laugh, your quiet stare The way you say my name like prayer No one else wears my silence right The way you do in neon light [Verse 4 – Male] I know your doubts, your angry grace The tears you hide, the smile you fake And even now across the space You’re still the safest beautiful place [Pre-Chorus – Both] We say “move on” Then call at night We act so strong Then lose the fight No matter how we try to end We lean into the almost again [Chorus – Both] We’re almost again Almost back in each other’s hands Almost a kiss Almost a chance Almost the fire, almost the fall Almost enough to risk it all We keep touching the edge of when We were us, we’re almost again [Bridge – Female / Male / Both] Female: If you say “come back,” I might Male: If you say “don’t go,” I’ll stay Both: Maybe we were never really gone Just one brave word away [Final Chorus – Both] We’re almost again Almost more than just what-ifs and friends Almost the dark Almost the dawn Almost the place we both belong Almost enough to start again With all the scars we’re living in One more breath, one more amen We were us, we’re almost again
