Almost Lyrics


I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out and moved to L.A.
Where I was almost famous for almost a dayAnd I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you woulda loved me tooI almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did five years and then seven more
And I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Because he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on 'cause you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stayAnd I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know itYou kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined

To spend my time missin' you
I almost wish you woulda loved me tooHere I go thinkin' 'bout all the things I coulda done
I'm gonna need a forklift 'cause all the baggage weighs a ton
(Baggage weighs a ton)
I know we had our problems, I can't remember oneI almost forgot to say something else
And if I can't fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it awayAnd I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know itYou kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined
To spend my time missin' youAnd I almost had you
(Almost had you)
Almost had you
I almost wished you woulda loved me too
(Wished you woulda loved me too)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
