We used to talk about the future
Like it was already ours
Picking colors for a house
We never found
You traced forever in the margins
Of a notebook full of plans
We were building something
With unsteady hands
It felt so close
I could almost taste it
Like summer on our skin
Before the rain came in
We were almost forever
Almost didn’t fall apart
Almost made it through the weather
Almost kept each other’s hearts
We were almost something timeless
Almost more than just a word
If almost counted as forever
We would still be us
Your jacket’s still inside my closet
Like it’s waiting for the cold
Like someday you’ll walk back in
And say you never let me go
We were good at making promises
Just bad at staying brave
We let silence do the talking
When we should’ve tried to stay
It felt so real
I still replay it
Like headlights in the dark
Fading down the boulevard
We were almost forever
Almost didn’t fall apart
Almost made it through the weather
Almost kept each other’s hearts
We were almost something timeless
Almost more than just a word
If almost counted as forever
We would still be us
Maybe in another lifetime
We don’t let fear decide
Maybe we hold on tighter
Maybe we don’t say goodbye
Or maybe this was meant to teach us
What love can almost be
How close two souls can get
Before they set each other free
We were almost forever
Almost everything we dreamed
Almost strong enough together
Almost more than what we seemed
We were almost something endless
But almost isn’t enough
If almost counted as forever
We would still be in love
We were almost…
Forever…
