Almost
Bowling For Soup Lyrics

I almost got drunk at school at fourteen,
I came very close to getting drunk at school when I was only 14 years old.

Where I almost made out with the Homecoming Queen,
I nearly kissed the Homecoming Queen.

Who almost went on to be Ms. Texas,
The Homecoming Queen almost became Ms. Texas.

But lost to a slut with much bigger breastests
She lost the title to someone who had bigger breasts and was considered a slut.

I almost dropped out to move to L.A.,
I almost dropped out of school and moved to Los Angeles.

Where I was almost famous for almost a day,
I almost became famous for a day when I moved to Los Angeles.

And I almost had you,
I came very close to having you.

But I guess that doesn't cut it,
But almost having you is not good enough.

Almost loved you,
I almost fell in love with you.

I almost wish you would've loved me too,
I wish you had loved me as well.

I almost held up a grocery store,
I came very close to robbing a grocery store.

Where I almost did five years and then seven more,
I almost went to jail for five years, and then seven more.

Cause I almost got caught for a fight with a thug,
I almost got caught fighting with a thug.

Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs,
He almost stole a bunch of drugs.

That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away,
I almost got addicted to drugs because you ran away.

And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay,
I regret not having the courage to ask you to stay.

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined to spend my time missing you,
You kept me wondering about us, and now I know I will spend the rest of my time missing you.

Here I go thinking about all the things I could of done,
I am thinking about all the things I could have done differently.

I'm gonna need a forklift cause all the baggage weighs a ton,
I have a lot of emotional baggage, and it feels like it weighs a ton.

And though we had our problems I can't remember one,
Despite all our issues, I cannot recall a single one in particular.

I almost forgot to say something else,
I almost forgot to mention something else.

And if I can't fit it in I'll keep it all to myself,
If I cannot mention it, I will keep it to myself.

I almost wrote a song about you today,
I almost wrote a song about you today.

But I tore it all up and then I threw it away,
I wrote a song about you, but then I ripped it up and threw it away.

And I almost had you,
I nearly had you.

And I almost had you,
I almost had you.

I almost wish you would've loved me too
I wish you had loved me as well.
