[Intro – soft, close vocal] Funny how I know the way you take your coffee But I don’t know what we are. [Verse 1] I know when you’re lying You look down when you smile I know when something’s on your mind Even from a thousand miles I know the songs you never skip The ones you say you hate I know you’ll call me way too late And I’ll pick up anyway [Pre-Chorus] We’re somewhere between nothing and everything Too close to leave Too scared to name it And maybe that’s the dangerous part [Chorus] We’re almost strangers Almost lovers Almost something We won’t admit to each other You know my secrets I know your scars Funny how two people Can get this far And still be… Almost strangers Almost strangers So tell me, how did you get this close without ever being mine? [Post-Chorus] Almost… Almost… Don’t say it Don’t ruin it Almost… Almost… Come a little closer [Verse 2] Your jacket’s still here From sometime in June I stopped reminding you Maybe I like it in my room And when somebody says your name I try not to react Like you haven’t been the reason I’ve been smiling like that [Pre-Chorus] We’re somewhere between bad timing and fate One honest sentence away from changing everything So maybe tonight… Don’t say anything. [Chorus] We’re almost strangers Almost lovers Almost something We won’t admit to each other You know my secrets I know your scars Funny how two people Can get this far And still be… Almost strangers Almost strangers So tell me, how did you get this close without ever being mine? [Bridge – stripped, vulnerable] Maybe I don’t need forever Maybe I just need tonight without pretending That when your hand finds mine it’s an accident That when you look at me you don’t feel it too We can lie to everybody… Just don’t lie to me. [Silence] [Final Chorus] We’re not strangers Not quite lovers But there’s something we keep finding in each other You know my silence I know your heart Maybe we’ve been something right from the start And maybe… Almost is enough tonight Almost… Almost… Come a little closer We can figure out tomorrow… tomorrow. [Outro] Funny how I know the way you take your coffee… But I still don’t know what we are.
