Almost
Bowling for Soup Lyrics

I almost got drunk at school at fourteen,
When I was just fourteen, I came very close to getting drunk at school.

Where I almost made out with the Homecoming Queen,
In addition to my brush with underage drinking, I also nearly made out with the Homecoming Queen.

Who almost went on to be Ms. Texas,
That same girl nearly went on to win the title of Ms. Texas.

But lost to a slut with much bigger breastests
But unfortunately for her, she lost to a woman with larger breasts who was not as worthy.

I almost dropped out to move to L.A.,
Later on in life, I considered dropping out of school to move to Los Angeles and pursue my dreams.

Where I was almost famous for almost a day,
If I had gone through with that plan, I may have had a moment of fame.

And I almost had you,
You were very close to being mine.

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

Almost loved you,
I came close to loving you.

I almost wish you would've loved me too,
It would have been great if you had shared those feelings.

I almost held up a grocery store,
At another point, I nearly robbed a grocery store.

Where I almost did five years and then seven more,
If I hadn't almost got caught, I may have served time in prison.

Cause I almost got caught for a fight with a thug,
My near-crime spree was almost interrupted by a fight with a thug.

Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs,
This fight was over drugs that he was trying to steal.

That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away,
It was your departure that almost led me down a road of addiction.

And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay,
Looking back, I really wish I had been brave enough to ask you to stay.

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined to spend my time missing you,
Your ambiguity has left me with unanswered questions and a lot of regret.

Here I go thinking about all the things I could of done,
I find myself reflecting on all of the things I almost did.

I'm gonna need a forklift cause all the baggage weighs a ton,
All of this baggage I'm carrying around is really weighing me down.

And though we had our problems I can't remember one,
Despite any issues we had, I can't think of any specific one right now.

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

And if I can't fit it in I'll keep it all to myself,
If I can't find a way to express what I need to say, I'll just keep it inside.

I almost wrote a song about you today,
This song is actually the result of me almost writing a song about you.

But I tore it all up and then I threw it away,
However, I ended up tearing up and throwing away what I had written.
