Description
Almost is a surprisingly resilient state. It seems like everything has been let go, analysed, and put in its place, but there's still a nagging "what if" inside. On the outside, there's even breathing and a show of calm, but inside, there's an eternal struggle between memory and common sense. Words spin in circles like old plastic without a new song, and only the morning light reminds us that we can survive anything, even what seemed like part of our own body. It just needs a little more time. Just a little bit. Almost.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Standing back, but on the edge
Wide awake, but laid in bed
The pain is real, but I pretend
That all the hurting has an end
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No way to live
No way to die
Done all I can
All I do is try
To get through the daylight
I swear to God I'm almost alright
I only think about you all the time
I almost never fall asleep
Wishing you were here with me
And I promise I've completely let you go
Almost
Talking circles 'round the room
Like I've got a point to prove
Every word except the truth
To everybody else but you
Done all I can
All I do is try
To get through another night
I swear to God I'm almost alright
I only think about you all the time
I almost never fall asleep
Wishing you were here with me
And I promise I completely let you go
I swear to God I'm almost okay
I only talk about you every day
It almost never cut me deep
When I had to watch you leave
And I promise I completely let you go
Almost
Almost
Almost
I swear to God I'm almost alright
I only think about you all the time
I almost never fall asleep
Wishing you were here with me
And I promise I've completely let you go
Almost
