Almost Love
[Intro – low & clear] (soft female whisper: “we end up here again…”) Yeah… Late nights, same feeling… ⸻ [Hook – smooth, clear, repeat-friendly] We don’t call it love… But it feel real close. You don’t say a word… But your touch says most. I don’t push… don’t pull… I just move like I do. Somehow every time… I end up back with you. It’s only complicated ’til the lights go low. Say you wanna keep it cool… Then you don’t let go. We ain’t locked in… But it’s more than a crush. Something like love… Almost love. (harmonies: “almost… yeah… almost…”) ⸻ [Verse – rap, clean, not rushed] You slide through late with that look in your eyes. Say you “ain’t staying long”… but you always stay the night. You move independent, but your guard get light. You say you don’t trust much… but you trust me right. I don’t say a lot — I just let things be. But somehow… you keep ending up with me. You tell your friends “we cool”… but you know that ain’t true. If it ain’t nothing serious… why you act like it’s you? (whisper: “don’t stop…”) ⸻ [Pre-Drop – clean tension] You say we simple… But we both know it’s us. (whisper: “right here…”) Almost love… ⸻ [DROP – violins ONLY here] (impact violin stabs) (beat explodes — no lyrics) ⸻ [Hook – repeat, harmonies lifted] We don’t call it love… But it feel real close. You don’t say a word… But your touch says most. I don’t push… don’t pull… I just move like I do. Somehow every time… I end up back with you. It’s only complicated ’til the lights go low. Say you wanna keep it cool… Then you don’t let go. We ain’t locked in… But it’s more than a crush. Something like love… Almost love. (harmonies: “almost… almost love…”) ⸻ [Outro – clear fade] Yeah… (soft ad-lib) mmm… (whisper: “we end up here every time…”) (instrumental fade out)
