[Verse 1] It’s 11:42 again My phone lighting up the bed I type your name without a plan Then read the last thing that you said Three little dots from yesterday Still echo in my head I write “hey, how’s your night going?” Then delete the whole thing instead [Pre-Chorus] Screen glow on the ceiling Like a tiny moon I swear I’m almost overthinking Just a little too soon [Chorus] I almost texted you tonight Almost said the thing I shouldn’t say Watched those words light up the screen Then slowly fade away I almost texted you again Almost let the quiet break in two But somewhere between “hey” and “send” I remembered how you do I almost texted you [Verse 2] My friends say I should let it go Like it’s a coat I never wore But every song that comes on shuffle Sounds a little like before You’d laugh at how dramatic I can make a single line You’d say “Sadie it’s just midnight” But midnight used to be our time [Pre-Chorus] Thumb hovering like maybe It might land this time But courage always disappears Right at the blinking line [Chorus] I almost texted you tonight Almost said the thing I shouldn’t say Watched those words light up the screen Then slowly fade away I almost texted you again Almost let the quiet break in two But somewhere between “hey” and “send” I remembered how you do I almost texted you [Bridge] Maybe in another life I’d press send and not think twice Maybe you’d be driving here Laughing under streetlight ice But tonight the message stays Floating in the blue-lit room Another almost drifting off Into the digital gloom [Final Chorus] I almost texted you tonight Almost let the silence bend Watched the blinking cursor ask “Are you sure you want to send?” I almost texted you again Almost let the whole thing through But somewhere between hope and pride I just closed the screen on you I almost texted you
