I almost got the job that paid the rent
I almost kept the girl that heaven sent

Everything is almost
Everything is almost
Everything is almost

I almost missed the cop at the four-way stop
I almost made the team, but I let things drop

Everything is almost
Everything is almost
Everything is almost

I forgot the words to the song I wrote
An instant classic on unknown radio

I entertained the crowd, ‘til the lights went out
I sailed around the sun, ‘til I ran aground

Everything was almost
Everything was almost
Everything was almost
