So so so I almost had it right Yeah yeah yeah But then I missed the light Well I had a plan this morning But I lost it in the shower Then I spilled my only coffee And got fired on the hour I said the right thing wrongly Then I laughed at the wrong time I smiled in my ID photo Now it looks like I'm a mime So so so I almost had it right Yeah yeah yeah I almost won the fight But my foot was in a shoebox And my pants were kinda tight So so so I almost had it right I downloaded the manual But ignored page 82 I set all of my clocks back In a world that only flew I texted “I’m not crazy” To a girl I barely knew Then I tripped into a mailbox And said “this feels kinda new” So so so I almost had it right Yeah yeah yeah But then I choked mid-bite It was just a piece of bagel But I saw a flash of light So so so I almost had it right Too weak to quit Too dumb to lie Too close to win Too late to try So so so I almost had it right Yeah yeah yeah But now I say goodnight To the broken dreams and sneakers And my sock that's way too tight So so so I almost had it right
