Almost
Bowling For Soup(볼링 포 수프) Lyrics

I almost got drunk at school at fourteen,
I nearly drank alcohol in school when I was just fourteen years old

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

Who almost went on to be Ms. Texas,
She was a runner-up for Ms. Texas

But lost to a slut with much bigger breasts
She lost to someone who had larger breasts than hers, and the singer disapproves of this fact by calling the winner a derogatory name

I almost dropped out to move to L.A.,
I nearly quit school in order to move to Los Angeles

Where I was almost famous for almost a day,
If I had made that move, I may have been briefly famous for a day

And I almost had you,
I nearly had a romantic relationship with you

But I guess that doesn't cut it,
Unfortunately, almost having a relationship with you is not good enough for me

Almost loved you,
I nearly loved you completely

I almost wish you would've loved me too,
I almost wish you had reciprocated my love for you

I almost held up a grocery store,
I nearly robbed a grocery store

Where I almost did five years and then seven more,
If I had been caught, I would have spent five years in jail and then seven more on a longer sentence

Cause I almost got caught for a fight with a thug,
I nearly got into a fight with a criminal and nearly got caught by the police as a result

Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs,
The criminal almost stole a bunch of drugs, which is what led to the fight

That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away,
I nearly became addicted to drugs as a result of your leaving me

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

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined to spend my time missing you,
You left me in a state of uncertainty and now I'm fated to spend my days longing for you

Here I go thinking about all the things I could of done,
I am now contemplating all of the things I could have done differently in the past

I'm gonna need a forklift cause all the baggage weighs a ton,
The emotional baggage I carry is too heavy for me to handle on my own

And though we had our problems I can't remember one,
Despite our issues, I can't recall a single one of them right now

And 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 don't have enough space to say it, I'll just keep it to myself

I almost wrote a song about you today,
I almost penned a song about you earlier today

But I tore it all up and then I threw it away,
But I ultimately destroyed the song and discarded it

And I almost had you,
I nearly had a chance to be with you

And I didn't even know it,
Surprisingly, I wasn't even aware of the opportunity which nearly presented itself

I almost wish you would've loved me too,
I almost wish you had returned my feelings of love for you
