Almost - Dakota Rhodes (Acoustic) | Original

 


Played all day with my sweatshirt strings
Laid in bed I couldn’t feel a thing
My sleeves deep red now a different shade
Cause from my eyes it’s pouring rain

And it’s 5pm again 
I know I won’t hear from him
But I’m still waiting by the phone

I won’t sleep tonight 
Cause if I close my eyes
It washes you away forever 
And I hate this goodbye 
Stared a hole through 
My window last night 
Should we have known better?
It shouldn’t end like this 
When we were so close 
Now we’re just an almost 

Try to find ways to humor me through 
But with each day that passes
Without you it starts to feel like maybe
We’re just ghosts that know too
Much about what the other knows

I know I’m the one to blame 
But I I wanted you to stay
But if I see things from your view
I see why you called it’s end
Cause it’s easier to pretend 
That I’m someone you never knew so

I won’t sleep tonight 
Cause if I close my eyes
It washes you away forever 
And I hate this goodbye 
Stared a hole through 
My window last night 
Should we have known better?
It shouldn’t end like this 
When we were so close 
Now we’re just an almost 

Do you find yourself when the workday is
Done reaching for the phone cause
I’m still all you want 
And I tell myself if it was meant to be
Life wouldn’t make me make you leave

When the leaves fell so did we
But in both ways of what that
Word means and this now 
Leaves us as strangers again just
Two ships passing asking 
How each other’s been 

Cause it’s 5pm again and
I know I won’t hear from him
Yet I’m still waiting by the phone 
And I’m still stuck in that day 
Your memory won’t go away
And part of me hopes it won’t 

I won’t sleep tonight 
Cause if I close my eyes
It washes you away forever 
And I hate this goodbye 
Stared a hole through 
My window last night 
Should we have known better?
It shouldn’t end like this 
When we were so close 
Now we’re just an almost 

An almost, an almost 
An almost, almost 

Played all day with my sweatshirt strings
Laid in bed I couldn’t feel a thing
My heartbeat was all I heard that night
But I know that we’ll both be alright right?
