An Orchestra of Almosts

V6

[Intro: Glass harmonica, violin] Every possibility can sing [Verse 1] There's a million ways of loving And I hear them all at once Every variation offers Something beautiful to want I can cherish what is present Still imagine something new And the fact that I can feel it Doesn't tell me what to do [Pre-Chorus: Rising harmonies] Affection isn't ownership Desire isn't destiny [Chorus: Soaring syncopated vocals] An orchestra of almosts Playing melodies of maybe Every beautiful beginning Wants a future I can't promise And I wish that I could love Without complicating love But a feeling isn't harmless Just because it feels like heaven [Verse 2] I can offer real devotion I can contradict myself I can crave another version Of a life I already love [Bridge: Three-part vocal conflict] (Stay here) (Find more) (Be true) (Explore) How do I honor what I feel Without betraying what is real? [Final Chorus: Intensifying counterpoint] An orchestra of almosts Every melody persuasive But I get to choose my actions Even when desire is persuasive [Outro: Solo violin] Every possibility can sing I cannot sing them all
