[Intro — quiet, then lift] I almost gave you last rites Then you put your hand on my chest And the grave forgot my name [Verse 1] You wear the light like it was always yours Every scar you never tried to hide from me I built a home inside the real thing Not the saint I used to invent Close enough to taste forever Close enough I finally stayed [Pre-Chorus] You said “this is it” I said “don’t blink” Two hearts One fight The math finally added [Chorus] Almost perfect Already mine Almost the reason I started counting time Almost enough to drown the dark Almost the man I was dying to be Almost perfect More than enough I don’t need the flawless I just need us [Verse 2] I rehearsed the funeral in the dark Wrote the eulogy with my own hands Then you looked at me like I was already home Every “I love you” had a pulse Every promise had a spine You were the closest thing to holy That ever dragged me back to life [Pre-Chorus] You said “this is it” I said “don’t blink” Two hearts One fight The math finally added [Chorus] Almost perfect Already mine Almost the reason I started counting time Almost enough to drown the dark Almost the man I was dying to be Almost perfect More than enough I don’t need the flawless I just need us [Bridge / Breakdown] We almost buried this We almost called it done Don’t sell me the near-miss as luck I don’t need a ghost that almost saved me I need the fire that’s still burning in your throat Keep the picture Keep the frame If it isn’t whole It’s still ours Two hearts One fight We walked out of the grave holding hands [Final Chorus — huge] Almost perfect Already mine Almost the reason I started counting time Almost enough to drown the dark Almost the man I was dying to be Almost perfect More than enough I don’t need the flawless I just need us [Outro — sung, then screamed last line] Keep your perfect I’ll take you Two hearts One fight Amen
