Plays from “almost said it”

almost said it: lyrics

  1. We were sitting in the driveway.
  2. The engine ticking while it cooled.
  3. You were talking about your sister,
  4. And I was playing the fool.
  5. I had the words behind my teeth,
  6. Just waiting for a little gap.
  7. I almost let the secret out,
  8. Right there in your passenger lap.
  9. I almost said it.
  10. The three words that change the weight.
  11. I almost said it,
  12. But I decided just to wait.
  13. Now I look back at that Tuesday night,
  14. And the mess I didn't make.
  15. I almost said it.
  16. Thank god for the mistake.
  17. You bought that coffee that I hate,
  18. The one that tastes like burnt beans.
  19. You started complaining about your boss,
  20. And I saw exactly what this means.
  21. If I had tied my heart to yours,
  22. I’d be drowning in your bad mood.
  23. Instead, I’m eating leftover pasta,
  24. In a much better solitude.
  25. I almost said it.
  26. The three words that change the weight.
  27. I almost said it,
  28. But I decided just to wait.
  29. Now I look back at that Tuesday night,
  30. And the mess I didn't make.
  31. I almost said it.
  32. Thank god for the mistake.
  33. It felt so heavy in the moment.
  34. Like a lungful of deep water.
  35. But I just swallowed down the feeling,
  36. Like my mother always taught her.
  37. And now you’re just a guy I knew,
  38. Who never knew how close I got.
  39. I almost said it.
  40. The three words that change the weight.
  41. I almost said it,
  42. But I decided just to wait.
  43. Now I look back at that Tuesday night,
  44. And the mess I didn't make.
  45. I almost said it.
  46. Thank god for the mistake.
