We met at a party back in twenty-twenty-three
You were dancing with your friends, caught your eye looking at me
Started talking by the bar, conversation felt so right
Ended up outside your place, talking till the morning light
You were different from the others, made me laugh until i cried
Had me thinking maybe this could be more than just one night
But you said you weren't ready, had some things you needed to sort
Said you'd call me when you figured it out, left me at the airport
We're almost lovers, so close but never there
Almost lovers, caught up in this affair
We keep dancing round the truth, scared of what we'd lose
Almost lovers, but we'll never make it through
Almost lovers, me and you
Three months later saw your face on someone else's feed
You were smiling in the pictures, looked like everything you need
Called you up at two am, told you i was wrong back then
You just laughed and said it's too late, can't go back to where we've been
Funny how you want me now when someone else is in my life
Funny how you're calling me, pretending everything's alright
Yeah i waited by my phone for months, hoping you would change
But almost lovers always end up feeling strange
We're almost lovers, so close but never there
Almost lovers, caught up in this affair
We keep dancing round the truth, scared of what we'd lose
Almost lovers, but we'll never make it through
Almost lovers, me and you
If i could turn back time
Would you even try this time
Or would we end up right back here
Almost perfect, almost clear
Almost everything we wanted
Almost but we're haunted
We're almost lovers, so close but never there
Almost lovers, caught up in this affair
We keep dancing round the truth, scared of what we'd lose
Almost lovers, but we'll never make it through
Almost lovers, me and you
Yeah we're almost lovers
Almost but not quite
Almost lovers
We'll never get it right
