I’m sitting on the edge and waitin’
The best suspense I’ve ever known
And as the final lights are fadin’
I feel a little less alone
‘Cause you’re beautiful and blue
The shade of somethin’ new
And all I wanna do
is Go anywhere with you
I hold my breath and wait for answers
And feel my chest begin to burn
My head is spinning like a dancer
And you’re the lift in every turn
And oh, before my story’s through
I know the ending’s up to you

I almost told you so
The words were heavy on my lips
I almost let it show
I felt the cover start to slip
I almost tried to go
My foot was headed out the door
I almost let you know
I just can't fight it anymore
I'm falling to the floor
I almost made it, almost waited, almost played it through
(I made it, I waited, I played it through)
I almost said it, almost read it, almost bled for you
(I said it, I read it, I bled for you)
I almost hid it, almost did it, almost rid myself of your memory and your ghost
(I hid it, I did it, I'm rid of you and your ghost)
Almost
You almost needed me
I felt it hanging in the air
You almost greeted me
I fell so silent standing there
You almost cheated me
I nearly fell to my demise
Almost defeated me
You hit me right between the eyes
It's really no surprise
One step away from falling out
One word away from breaking down
One look away from letting go
One answer waiting to unfold
One truth still waiting to be told
One choice to make before I go
I almost let you know

I’ve been a dreamer all my days
I’ve been a dreamer all my days
I’m such a lonely seeker
And I’m looking for my place
I’ve been a dreamer all my days
I’ve been a lover all my days
I’ve been a lover all my days
And I’ve never known another
Who was such a hopeless case
I’ve been a lover all my days
And when it comes to you
I’ve been nothing but true
But I’ve been a liar all my days
I’ve been a liar all my days
I’ll set the world on fire
and my tongue will light the blaze
I’ve been a singer all my days
Oh I’ve been a singer all my days
Oh I wouldn’t lift a finger
If it wasn’t for your grace
Oh, I’ve been a singer
I’m a believer
And I’ll be a singer all my days
