[Verse 1] There’s a street between hi and goodbye Where porch lights never quite decide If they glow warm or fade away That’s where we kept hanging around Half a promise, half a plan Your hand brushed mine once again Like the moment might turn real If we never said how we feel [Chorus] Almost is a place we know Where the maybe people go Close enough to feel the spark Far enough to stay in dark Almost is a quiet room With curtains halfway into bloom You and I just passing through Almost me and almost you [Verse 2] Every song we never named Every kiss missed by inches Every night we played it safe While silence held the stitches You said love’s a risky road Better left a little slow But slow can turn to standing still When no one says they will [Chorus] Almost is a place we know Where the maybe people go Close enough to feel the spark Far enough to stay in dark Almost is a quiet room With curtains halfway into bloom You and I just passing through Almost me and almost you [Bridge] Maybe it’s a town we built Out of nervous laughs and doubt Where the signs all point to stay But the roads still run away [Outro] Almost was a place we stayed Till the daylight slipped away Now I’m standing at the gate Walking out of almost late Almost was a place
