I almost got punked at school at 14
Where I almost got a hug from the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
But lost to a girl who sews her own dresses
I almost went out and moved to L.A.
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you woulda loved me too
I almost worked at a grocery store
Where I almost did five years of sweeping the floor
And I almost got popped for a fight, it's a shame
Because the guy made off with my video game
That I almost got hooked on 'cause you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined
To spend my time missin' you
I almost wish you woulda loved me too
Here 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 one
I 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 away
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined
To spend my time missin' you
And I almost had you
(Almost had you)
Almost had you
I almost wished you woulda loved me too
(Wished you woulda loved me too)
