[Verse 1] I match my shadow to your pace Pretended it was mine Every place got warmer Standing in your time I kept my hands in my pockets To hide the shake You said my name like a door That finally gave way [Pre-Chorus] I knew enough to know I shouldn't let it show Some things can feel like home And still not be your own [Chorus] Somewhere we almost happen Somewhere I get to stay Somewhere your shadow finds me And doesn't turn away I know that isn't this world I know what cannot be But somewhere we almost happen And that's enough for me [Verse 2] Your laugh along the stairwell Made the whole hall turn I saved the smallest moments Like things I hadn't earned I learned the sound of footsteps I never got to keep And built a little future That only happened to me [Pre-Chorus] I knew enough to know I shouldn't let it show Some things can feel like home And still not be your own [Chorus] Somewhere we almost happen Somewhere I get to stay Somewhere your shadow finds me And doesn't turn away I know that isn't this world I know what cannot be But somewhere we almost happen And that's enough for me [Instrumental Break - Tender Violin Solo] [Verse 3] Sometimes I wake remembering A life I never knew A window left half-open A room I shared with you Nothing there was remarkable That's what I miss the most Coffee cooling on the counter Your coat beside my coat [Verse 4] Maybe every road not taken Keeps going without us Maybe somewhere we said yes Before the world divided us Maybe there's a quiet version Of me who never had to leave And she doesn't call it dreaming Because she never had to dream [Pre-Chorus] I know enough to know That wanting can't make it so But some things feel remembered Before they ever happen [Chorus] Somewhere we almost happen Somewhere I get to stay Somewhere your shadow finds me And doesn't turn away I know that isn't this world I know what cannot be But somewhere we almost happen And that's enough for me [Instrumental Break - Extended Violin Solo, Yearning and Expansive] [Verse 5] I've pictured us in little towns I've never even seen Growing older by a window Somewhere ordinary and clean No grand design or miracle No ending written right Just your shoes beside the doorway And your breathing in the night [Verse 6] But every world I make for us Eventually grows thin The edges start to disappear And this one filters in Still I keep a place between them Where the impossible can breathe Not enough to make it real Too real for me to leave [Instrumental Break - Violin and Hazy Guitar] [Bridge] Maybe there's another place Where wanting makes things true Where I don't have to borrow A little warmth from you Maybe I could find it If I knew where to begin But every world I picture Still puts you somewhere in it [Quiet Refrain] Somewhere we almost happen Somewhere I don't pretend Somewhere what I remember Hasn't happened yet [Extended Violin Solo - Emotional Climax] [Final Chorus] Somewhere we almost happen Somewhere I get to stay Somewhere your shadow finds me And doesn't turn away I know that isn't this world I know what cannot be But somewhere we almost happen And that's enough for me [Outro] I match my shadow to your pace Pretended it was mine Just a little warmer Standing in your time [Long Violin Outro]
